I'm currently on Mint 13 KDE, meaning Ubuntu 12.04.
Suspend works great, without catalyst drivers.
Hibernate is by default disabled in KDE, haven't tried that, I'm used to avoide hibernate anyway...

>>I am now running the latest BIOS, and have nothing to report.

I have discovered that the freeze, which used to happen if the network boot was not the 1st boot choice in BIOS... is solved now!

Hi!
I wonder if anyone has tried the new bios v 1.11 (13-NOV-2012) for this little fellow...and report if some of the issues exposed here are resolved......

Did you try 12.10 Catalyst on Ubuntu 12.10 :) (nice coincidence), or on Ubuntu 12.04?
Never mind for 1080p video reproduction, windows in dual boot will work for that perfectly through hdmi... :(...

I deleted all the partitions except sda1, 2GB is not bothering me. Then I installed Win7 on 50 GB sda3 as primary and win created sda2 100 MB primary for boot. Then I created sda4 extended part,...

What I did before boot report is that I shrunk Ubuntu "/" partition sda3 from 300GB to 20GB, using gparted and it processed fine, Ubuntu can run again.
I'm thinking of leaving sda1 (if it's used for...

Sorry for the delay oldfred.
Here is the relevant part of the boot report, I hope we can see weather automatics can recovery the system using files in hidden sda1 or it's just live iso image:

This is a good question.
I'll create bootinfo report, but can I see somehow if sda1 shows itself in grub as a bootable partition right now, I'm not able to run Boot Repair atm...?

Yes, the pertitions are MBR.
sda1 fat 2GB is hidden partition and it came with the laptop. When I mount it I can see these folders:

[boot]
[casper]
[install]
[isolinux]
md5sum.txt

So I...

Hi guys!
This cheap but excellent laptop came with Ubuntu 11.10 64bit pre-installed. It's hdd is 320 GB, 1st partition 2GB is hidden, 2nd ext3 300 GB.
It works great but I'd like to try Win7, too,...

Nice strategy, reasonably thinking... :-) Thanks for the 12.3 report.

Are you satisfied with 12.3 drivers, suspend and hibernation working or not?

Excellent finding zzarko, thank you. Please, report on the temperature situation as well as the hdd clicking (load_cycle_counts increasing, hdparm settings).

here it is:


Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders, total 976773168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size...

Yes, I'm almost sure, I repeated the partitioning process 3 times. First, by the installer. Then 2 times manually:

1. Booted from Win7 Starter and made 1 extended partition from there (because of...

I'm on open source driver now, suspend and hibernation works as expected.:D

And for this...



It's definitely a bug in DiskUtility, tried everything so far...

Since now my system (nearly)...

Bad news, this is not true, while on battery it still freezes.:-(

Thank you zzarko, I'll try with radeon driver, since I didn't find any signficant improvements with fglrx, should I just deactivate it, or it's a tricky action?

Regarding the fan, do you happen to...

Hi guys!
I just registered on this forum to thank you for these more than usefull AO722 tips. Too bad I didn't find them earlier when I tried Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10, following with Kubuntu, Lubuntu...
