Ubuntu 12.10 made the display on a HP Compaq 8510w flicker and go black. This happened with the setup, nouveau driver i guess.
I reinstalled with Fedora - it worked fine. I did a new installation with ubuntu 12.10 - flickering problem persisted, but it worked on external monitor - but somehow, after some reboots, the laptop is completely dead. Now, it doesn't boot - only blinks with the HDD and Ethernet leds. I can see in my router, that it doesn't acquire a dhcp address - but it registers the MAC address 01:00:5E:00:00:FB Perhaps something has messed with the Intel AMT settings or system BIOS ? I tried taking out and replacing the motherboard battery. Does anybody know how to get in touch with the Intel AMT and do a reflash to factory settings ? (That is my guess for a solution.) I'm no longer on support with HP. I logged a bug with Ubuntu - but no reaction yet. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/+bug/1127845 Thanks Jens Peter Nielsen Denmark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
