I removed hp_wmi (sudo rmmod hp_wmi)
did this echo "options hp_wmi wireless=1" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/hp_wmi.conf trick, and then loaded hp_wmi again
sudo modprobe hp_wmi
ERROR: could...
I removed /etc/modprobe.d/hp_wmi.conf, and restarted. Now rfkill list all gives this:
rfkill list all

****, I upgraded to 13.04. It did not work again, and I was happy I discovered the solution I described above. I issued that command, and the wireless card disappeared

There were no more freezes after this intervention, although I am using my notebook 10 hours a day non-stop. A very big THANK YOU to Tomasz Makarewicz.
I have just done this:

It went flawlessly, I have fglrx-legacy installed, and now desktop effects are working as well - let's hope the random freezes...
It is a fresh install. I did not play around with any config files.
Is it possible to *easily* downgrade the X server to that used in 11.10 (the last release that worked on my notebook)? If not,...
Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 1564, with this graphics card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV710/M92 [Mobility Radeon HD 4330/4350/4550].
I have upgraded to 13.04 some weeks ago - I do it very...
Hi, nothing as far as I know, but who know what kind of background services are started by these overcomplicated desktop systems. I was probably looking at a local pdf file, maybe editing some C++...
I checked it right after a freeze (which now happens about every half an hour). /var/log/syslog and /var/log/Xorg.0.log do not contain anything suspicious. .xsession-errors might, I don't know (see...
Well, life is not so nice as I thought. Every now and then some programs freeze, they do not respond anymore to mouse or keyboard events. But otherwise the system is running. Newly started programs...

Hi, Thanks for the responses. I have now 13.04 running without any problem, after I have removed the xserver-xorg-video-radeon driver. I will live without the fancy effects, and not try to downgrade...
Removing ~/.config/gtk-2.0 ~/.config/gtk-3.0 and ~/.config/oxygen-gtk solved the problem (they remained from a previous ubuntu version, probably)
Checking it with strace, this is the end of the output, up to the point where it hangs:
close(9) = 0
eventfd2(0, O_NONBLOCK|O_CLOEXEC) = 7

Hi,
I have recently installed 13.04, and emacs24. While emacs starts in konsole mode with the -nw option, nothing happens if I start in X mode, without this option. Any ideas?
Thank you
Hi,
Ubuntu 11.10 was the last release that I could install on my Dell Inspiron 1564, with this graphics card:

Hi
I have recently installed kubuntu 12.10 on a HP 630. I can not make the wireless card (Atheros AR9285).

I am experiencing this problem with 12.10 from the very same place, and (almost) very same time, and it always works with 11.10 and never works with 12.10 so I am pretty sure it's the OS and not the...
oh yes, I am quite pessimistic with linux: I always install the new distro on another partition, because more often than not the new one just doesn't work (on my notebook with 12.10 I have a problem...
