Specs: HP 2000 Notebook PC 2000-2c20DX 2nd Generation Intel Core i3-2328M Processor (2.2 GHz)
Ubuntu 14.04


I got tired of my computer hibernating when it gave the critical battery warning even...

Sorry I didn't respond, I've been really busy lately. I never even thought about it being a problem with my router. I know when I was having problems the other times before this it was happening with...

I'll take a look at the realtek stuff when I have more time, but for now here's the output for the Ralink card: http://textuploader.com/95d2

Huh. Well, that might be something I'll look into in the future. But I've already spent quite a bit of time trying to fix this (and have several other tech issues I need to work on), so I think I'm...

Currently running Ubuntu 14.04, but this problem has persisted through different versions as well as in Mint. I'm using an HP 2000 Notebook PC 2000-2c20DX, wireless card is Ralink RT5390R 802.11bgn...

Okay, well that's the error boot-repair keeps giving me so then I have no idea what the problem is if it's not that. Could you explain what the rest of your post is? It seems like a lot of jargon and...

Okay, well, I guess I made some progress. I restored the files and disabled fast boot, then ran boot repair. Currently, the 'grub_term_highlight_error' message is gone and I am able to boot into...

I can't get into Windows 8 right now, so no control panel.
As for the grub_term_highlight_color error:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc --recheck /dev/sdx yields:
Just running sudo dpkg-reconfigure...

Yes, this happened after I upgraded to 14.04.

Just so I'm clear, you mean for "sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sdx" I should change it to "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc --recheck /dev/sdx"? And...

Secure boot is off, and I don't see anything called "Fast Boot." As for the rest of the post... I got a little lost in that. Could you give me a little step-by-step of what to do?

Is that the...

I dual boot with Ubuntu and Windows 8. I recently upgraded to 14.04, and am unable to boot (even into Windows) the normal way, when I turn my computer on it just comes up with a grub error message. I...

Ubuntu 13.10, my computer keeps freezing up randomly at least 1-2 times a day. I can move my mouse but can't click anything and the keyboard won't work. I am able to restart with...

I currently have a Ralink rt5390 wireless card, Ubuntu has had issues with it for some time now, it worked better with Mint for a while but not anymore. Went back to Ubuntu and upgraded hoping that...

What wireless card do you have? I have Ralink RT5390 and I can only get wireless on Ubuntu if I'm within ~15ft of the router. I've had problems with wireless using Mint too, especially recently....

Wireless Internet wasn't really working, would disconnect especially if I got far from the...

Well I solved it. And by "solved it" I mean I'm using Mint instead. Actually ended up fixing a few other minor issues I'd been having too. So yeah, if anybody finds this looking for a solution, maybe...

Huh, I wasn't aware that there was more than one driver for any given wireless chip. I figured since it worked, just a limited range, I didn't need to install a driver.

I downloaded the RT539x...

Well I got it... sort of. I created a Windows repair DVD+R from eightforums.com. Couldn't really figure out the second set of links for backing up Windows, figured I don't use Windows much anyways so...

Bump, maybe?

Internet connection works fine if I'm close to the router, but if I move to a different room the internet doesn't really work....

Computer came preinstalled with Windows 8. I was able to get Ubuntu 13.04 installed and running in a dual boot, but it has a lot of errors, I know from past experience that doing a fresh install can...

SUCCESS!!! I have the dual boot working. I'm not sure exactly what it was that did it, here's what I did:
Installed Ubuntu on it's own partition
Removed boot flag from sda5
Ran boot repair
Ran...

Well, not sure what the problem was, but just downloaded the .iso again and re-made the USB, after a few tries of that I can get into Ubuntu from a LiveUSB again.

"Did you remove boot flag from...

So the "Backup and rename EFI files" thing didn't fix it.
I did find this: http://linux.die.net/man/8/efibootmgr which seems like it might fix the problem. I'm not really sure how to use it though...

So I have been trying to create a dual-boot for Windows 8/Linux for a while now. Due to the laziness of HP, I am unable to disable UEFI or move the Legacy boot order above UEFI, so I need to install...
