Anonymous Linux User, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=5428369&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4060 an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.30). 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, then please mark this report Status Confirmed. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.30 ** Description changed: - As per Comment #31 on - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1310762/comments/31 - - creating bug via "ubuntu-bug linux".
