@Annihil, what you're doing seems correct and the same as what a few of us have done to install kernel 4.3. Maybe an update since then has broken it... after testing 4.3 I immediately went back to...

@rvanderwerf, I'm still on kernel 4.2 and have never had any problems with the wifi and use 5GHz regularly. To help diagnose your problem, try installing "wavemon" and run "sudo wavemon" using F3 to...
Does anyone know what "AHCI" or "RAID" actually means in the bios? I've always assumed that Dell's RAID was just AHCI plus some useless features that cause problems. My system detects the drive as a...

Here's my xorg.conf file when using Nvidia-PRIME to switch to the Nvidia GPU. When switched to...
@paralleo on that link the person claims that the newer kernel has "Intel Skylake enabled by default". Any idea what that means? Are you noticing any other performance or battery life improvements?
@parallelo: Nice work! Weird that .efi disappeared. Hopefully this was do to a stray cosmic ray and not a nasty bug. Before I saw you fixed it, I was going to mention that I have Dell SupportAssist...
@shamil.si
Confirm that suspend doesn't work on mine either.
Reboot works perfectly on mine. Did you change any drive settings in the bios? What version of bios are you on? From memory I think...
VGA dongle worked perfectly. Makes sense since the driver is completely separate from the Nvidia/Intel stack and should be very mature and stable.
I have the largest battery (84wh). Hopefully...
I doubt 14.03 LTS will work. The main problems were with the new fancy GPU not having good nouveau compatibility and the new fancy Intel raid not displaying NVME hard drive. So an older OS release...
@astroman: wifi card works well with good performance and range. The wifi connection rate seems to be reported incorrectly. External monitor support has been flaky and isn't always available. This is...
Haven't heard of anyone else doing this so I took the risk and purchased the Dell XPS 15 (9550) with the FHD 1920x1080 matt display, Intel Skylake i7-6700HQ, 512GB PCIe SSD, 16GB DDR4, 84Wh battery....
Using Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 the uDAC 2 works fine... mostly. Running for a few hours in an old AMD 5400+ rig works fine. Running on my newer sandy bridge Intel i5-2500K on GIGABYTE GA-H67MA-UD2H-B3...
It took me about 2 hours to get projectm installed on Ubuntu 10.04. These are my solutions for specific problems.
During ccmake "libvisual 0.4 not found": assuming you've already install all of...
Restoring an entire archived partition is wonderfully easy with fsarchiver, but recently I needed only a single file from an archive and had no free partitions to restore to. After failing to find...
Thank you for the info. I've edited my notes, removing my misleading information. Next time I do some recovery I'll definitely investigate foremost further.
What follows are some anecdotes from my successful disk carving adventure and some tips for using 'scalpel' to retrieve Open Office (odt) and Thunderbird local mail files.
IMPORTANT: UNMOUNT YOUR...
I can confirm that using gparted to resize ext4 partitions works on the 9.10 64bit live cd.
Not only that, it successfully allowed me to completely remove my swap partition, shrink and move my...
After spending about 4 hours on this problem I finally have the newest Cisco VPN Client installed, 4.8.02.0030, on Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 kernel 2.6.28-13.
1) the more obvious parts to the solutions...
