[Bug 1967051] [NEW] Corrupted BIOS in HP 8200/8300

2022-03-29 Thread johno
Public bug reported:

After installing Ubuntu 20.04, the machine reboots and never comes back
online - 5 beeps (bios/system board/CPU failure). No video, no access to
bios, just the 5 beeps.

Tried changing power supplies with known good one (sometimes the cause
of this beep code), using graphics card and onboard video, pulling all
peripherals from board and reattaching one by one, restoring BIOS with
the .bin file on the root of a small fat32 flash drive. Everything I
know how to do with a history of employment in desktop support.

I'm able to replicate this issue consistently on machines fully
functional with windows, now with 3 desktops in a row. (I have a source
on retired ones from a company) I've found posts about BIOS issues with
~2017 Lenovo but nothing with HP.

Slightly older HP desktops (7900, 8000) and similar vintage HP laptops
(6560, 6570, 8470, 650 G1) I've all installed and run with no issues
like this.

[Bug 1929139] Re: control center taking over!

2021-05-20 Thread johno
I just upgraded my raspberry Pi (Ubuntu mate) from 18.04 to 20.04. The
"Control Center" will NOT allow itself to be ignored.

Minimized? Brought to top of all windows 
Opened new window? Brought to top of all windows 
Closed? It reopens 
Switch desktops? Another opens Reboot? Opens right away.

I had this issue in the past with a regular 64bit install Ubuntu on an
older HP desktop even with a clean reinstall. I always thought it was a
driver conflict, corrupted install media, glitch as 20.04 had just been
released... some sort of fluke. But it's back.

This is the only thing I found and it sounds like the same issue, going
on back in 16.04 but was apparently patched.
