HP Pavillion dv6000ca linux problems gone with Hardy Heron


I have been using my laptop which is not at all Linux friendly. So whenever I have before plugged in a USB device, I have had to restart, and then after I had rebooted, I had only to wait a few minutes before the computer would go and slow down to less than a crawl and then I would have to reboot again. So what I am trying to say is that with Ubuntu Hardy Heron all that was going on in Gutsy, there is none in Hardy Heron. I can plug in a usb drive and it will just load and it really works, which is nice to have when you have an iPod that before only made your computer crawl, just after 5 minutes. So now that all of this works I have been able to use this computer as if none of these problems ever happened.

The only thing that bothers me is when I closed the lid before the screen would not come back and than I would have to restart.

Anyway, thank you for reading.

  1. Same here. 🙂 Although I have the pavillon dv9000 I have lot`s of problems in gutsy. The problem with closing the lid has to do with the fact, that hibernation is not possible. It`s sad to hear that this is still not fixed in hardy. 🙁 I bet this means some more hacking after I upgrade in two weeks.

    Great to hear there are others like myself working towards getting HP Laptops to work in Linux. Hopefully the closing the lid will be fixed in the Intrepid Ibex.
