Bryan Cebuliak, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP- Pavilion-a6700-Desktop-PC-series/3823602/model/3830446 an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (5.22). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status Confirmed. Thank you for your understanding. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1460365 Title: 3.19 kernels in 15.04 do not work on my 32bit system Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Since upgrading from 14.10 [3.16 kernel] to 15.04 the 3.19 kernels including 3.19.0-20 will either stall on boot or leave me without proper graphics or nil keyboard and mouse even on recovery boot . The next functioning mainline kernel is v4.0-rc1-vivid. No problem there. I suggest you abandon completely this very problematic end of life kernel and quickly test and backport a newer series. 3.19 up to 3.19.7 has also given me similar grief on my old Macbook 2,1 64bit. --- ApportVersion: 2.17.2-0ubuntu1.1 Architecture: i386 CurrentDesktop: LXDE DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-09-04 (998 days ago) InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 12.04 "Precise Pangolin" - Release i386 (20120423) Package: linux (not installed) Tags: vivid Uname: Linux 4.0.0-040000rc1-generic i686 UnreportableReason: The running kernel is not an Ubuntu kernel UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to vivid on 2015-05-31 (0 days ago) UserGroups: adm cdrom dialout dip fax floppy fuse lp lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo tape video _MarkForUpload: True --- ApportVersion: 2.17.2-0ubuntu1.1 Architecture: i386 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: elaine 1316 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: LXDE DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=cf1e0e2c-e614-46b7-af16-815ef38b4dfc InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-09-04 (998 days ago) InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 12.04 "Precise Pangolin" - Release i386 (20120423) IwConfig: lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions.
