Peter Pfeiffer, as per http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice /HP-Pavilion-Elite-HPE-500-Desktop-PC-series/5035344/model/5061007 an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (6.16). 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. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-6.16 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Incomplete -- 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/1464060 Title: gparted reports a problem with a working drive Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Error recieved: Error fsyncing/closing /dev/sdh: Remote I/O error gparted version 0.18.0 kernel version 3.13.0-53-generic Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS This drive is attached to a builtin USB port Device info: Samsung MP0402H ; 37.31 GB This same drive has Ubuntu 12.04.5 installed (3.13.0.32) with gparted 0.11.0 and is working perfectly.
