Ubuntu 16.04 on Dell Xps 15 9550 (i7-6700HQ - 1TB SSD - UHD 4k touch)

Thanks for the guide! We were struggling to install Ubuntu on the xps and then we found your thread. The details are outstanding, you explain every button. Thanks a lot Javi

Hi,

After upgrading to 17.04 the lack of palm detection was making me insane. The switch to libimput sorted it -- TYVM.

Quick question -- has anyone had any luck with Bluetooth mice? I have the Logitech MX Master and it now pairs and works in 17.04, but its _really_ skippy/inconsistant. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I´ve used briefly (one week) a magic mouse from Apple. It worked fine!! I´ve updated to 17.04 too.

Hi,

Any feedback from upgrading to 17.04, or a fresh install?

Thanks

Upgrade worked fine for me. As posted above, I had to change to the udev mouse to get it to not behave crazy. Otherwise, its pretty much all good.

Thanks, I will give it a try in the next weeks.

I'm having an issue with suspend in Ubuntu 16.04 with this computer. When I close the lid or suspend using

systemctl suspend

It sometimes (about half the time) fails to suspend. The screen goes dark as if it is about to suspend, but after about 1 second it flashes back directly to the login screen.

It seems to be related to the wifi card or wifi card driver. Looking at dmesg:

Has anyone else run into this issue? Through various searches I have found others with seemingly similar issues, but no solutions as of yet have fixed it for me.

Great instructions. Thanks! My XPS 15 is dual-booting like a champ.

Hey! I have the same issue when I suspend my computer. What fixed the problem for me (I think, I rebooted a couple of time and it works, but maybe it's not THE FIX):

I upgraded the Kernel on my Ubuntu (I'm using 17.04) and I installed the lastest kernel: Linux 4.12.0-041200-generic

I did follow this guide: https://www.tecmint.com/upgrade-kernel-in-ubuntu/

Hope it works for you as well, keep me in the loop.

Cheers!

I'm not sure this is the right thread for this question, but it was very helpful in getting my dual boot XPS 15(Ubuntu/Windows 10) up and running 16.04 so I thought I'd start here.

A few days ago, I ran into an issue where every time I reboot from Ubuntu, I get messages that look like the attached picture, and the restart never completes. I have searched and found a couple potential solutions, here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquesti...n_and_freezes/

and here(linked from above):

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs...eezes/dh38gqn/

neither of which worked. In fact, one or both caused serious problems with my Ubuntu partition, I had to boot into recovery mode and undo them as I could not type or use the mouse when booting into Ubuntu.

Any help would be appreciated.
