Christopher, I guess you are trying to isolate when the problem started. This hewlett packard HP8560w is a new notebook just started selling beginning of 2012.
after installing http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ I can't access the internet. Same ADSL modem with the same hardware setup nothing is changed. Here is my alternate work around as stated below paragraphs. I remember I do not need to do anything but leave the ADSL modem to be on to access internet. Please advice if you know what is wrong. Is it ok I downloaded http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ and checked whether can I reboot without the screen going blank first? If no blank screen after reboot then I will proceed to do your post #46 to isolate which KernelMainlineBuild is causing the problem. If blank screen again after reboot, I will download http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/ and checked whether can I reboot without the screen going blank again? If no blank screen after reboot then I will proceed to do your post #46 to isolate which KernelMainlineBuild is causing the problem. I will update you when I got the results. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1073442 Title: [HP EliteBook 8560w] Screen goes blank upon reboot after successful installation of Ubuntu 12.10(64bit) desktop version To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1073442/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
