I recently bought a HP 15-da0206ng laptop and since my goal was to finally switch from Windows to Linux I installed the Linux distribution Pop!_OS 18.04 LTS which is built on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. After I installed the OS, I encountered a problem: No WIFI Adapter was detected. The WIFI Adapter in the HP 15-da0206ng is a Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11b/g/n/ac, according to HP. I quickly found a solution for this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1071299/how-to-install-wi-fi-driver-for-realtek-rtl8821ce-on-ubuntu-18-04 I disabled secure boot in BIOS, connected my Laptop via cable updated and upgraded and installed the driver and my WIFI Adapter was detected and worked. However, my download speed via wifi is very slow. The terminal and the browsers (Firefox and Chrome) download everything with a speed of around 85 kb/s. According to this site (it is a German site): http://www.speedmeter.de/ my download speed is at 0.6-0.7 mbit/s. My upload speed is at 5 mbit/s which I consider normal. I did the same speed check with my Samsung phone and it reaches a download speed of 102 mbit/s and an upload speed of 5 mbit/s. Something is clearly wrong with the download speed of my Notebook. After researching this problem I found this thread: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1148030/slow-wifi-connection-ubuntu-18-04/1148065?r=SearchResults#1148065 but switching antennas resulted in no difference. Selecting a specific antenna explicitly seems to be a working solution if your wifi signal is not strong, as it is explained here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1058379/wifi-signal-is-weak-in-ubuntu-18-04-with-rtl8723be In my case I would say that the signal strength is not a problem. As you can see in the results of running

dev wifi list

IN-USE  SSID                            MODE   CHAN  RATE        SIGNAL  BARS  SECURITY  
 *       Burt-Reynolds                   Infra  1     405 Mbit/s  82      ▂▄▆█  WPA2

I also turned of power saving for the wifi adapter as described at the bottom of this readme: https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce/blob/master/README.md but it did not make any difference as well. I upgraded the kernel from 4.18 to 4.19 but there was no change. I tried to install Ubuntu (instead of Pop!_OS) 18.04 but here I did not manage to install the rtl8821ce drivers at all. Currently I am running Pop!_OS 19.04 where I can install the drivers again but the download speed is still painful slow. Furthermore I went through this troubleshooting: https://support.system76.com/articles/wireless/ which means I tried to change the router configuration, I disabled IPv6, I enabled Antenna Aggregation, I tried to disable the N mode in /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf and I disabled bluetooth coexistence. I am not quite sure what to try anymore and my next steps will be to buy a usb wifi adapter or, the worst case, install Windows again. It seems that most questions related to the rtl8821ce are about getting it not working at all. In my case it works but very slowly. I am not sure if I am missing something obvious and that is why I decided to post this problem here. Here is some additional hardware information:

Intel® Core™ i5-8250U
DDR4-2400 SDRAM, 16 GB      
256 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD
Intel® UHD Graphics 620

Thanks in advance.

I have been running CentOS 7 minimal on around 10 i7-8700 PCs in my organization. These machines are HP Elitedesk 800 G4 workstations (Hardware Ref. Guide ) (Maintenance and Service Guide ) (datasheet ). All work fine, except a couple which freeze randomly, requiring a hard reboot. I have looked at the var/logs/messages and dmsg but there are no errors which could potentially explain why the machine got hung. I am happy to provide more information if you need me to. PCs which freeze, and which do not freeze, are using exactly same apps for the same purpose, for local proxy use. I have checked swap usage by running vmstat with its delay and count but swap usage seems to be not exceeding the limit. # vmstat -a procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ------cpu----- r b swpd free inact active si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa st 2 0 0 14922052 142620 734392 0 0 1 1 107 97 5 3 92 0 0

In Debian 12 *bookworm*, when we scan a page via scanimage, we have to specify a scanner via --device-name='scanner name'. However, the scanner name is not stable; it changes every couple of minutes, and if we omit the scanner name, an empty file is produced:

Above, NNNNNN stands for an identifier composed of six digits and uppercase letters, which we chose to keep anonymous, and nnnnnn is the same identifier with the uppercase letters converted to lowercase. Only the last scanning attempt was successful; all the previous attempts were a loss of our time. Scanning via the escl: or USB interfaces works even rarer or not at all, so we don't use these. Why does the device name fluctuate: sometimes we have luck with airscan:e0:… and sometimes with airscan:e1:… (and I also recall airscan:w1:… in the output of scanimage -L, though I don't remember an error-free scan with it)? How to make the airscan:… device name stable or *always* get the right device name? Any stable aliases anywhere in the file system? Notice that the IP address may also change, e.g., when the router decides so or simply reboots. What does stay constant is the presence/absence of the scanner, its identifiers, and its connections: the USB physical connection, the identifier of the Wi-Fi network (not shown here), the scanner identifier NNNNNN, and the scanner identifier nnnnnn we use to access its Web interface from a Web browser via http://hpinnnnnn or https://hpinnnnnn . Also notice that a straight, non-loopy script that parses the output of scanimage -L and then feeds the extracted scanner name into the actual scanning command scanimage --device-name='airscan:…:HP OfficeJet Pro 8130e series [NNNNNN]' --output-file=… … still leaves the possibility that between the two commands, the device name changes (yes, it *does* happen in reality). Of course, we can put the two commands into a loop and retry on failure. As this consumes time (and already scanimage -L consumes many seconds), a better approach is needed.

I am trying to install my wifi card driver on RHEL 8 for the 8821CE. I am temporarily using an 88XXau for a usb wifi adapter. I've been looking for a solution for a while and came across two main git repos: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new/tree/rtw88 https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce/ the rtw88 still doesn't support the 8821CE Card as far as I can tell. I managed to install the /tomaspinho dkms module after editing the code and following the issues section to solve compilation problems related to kernel version: https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce/issues?q=centos This basically involved changing some ifdef definitions to suit the old kernel that is using recent or backported code to my knowledge. Now I am at a point where the dkms module installed correctly and I can see the module loaded in lsmod output, but the card is still not detected and I wonder what I can do from this point forward. Thank you in advance for your help. lsmod: lsmod | grep 8821 8821ce 2023424 0 cfg80211 806912 2 88XXau,8821ce kernel: uname -r 4.18.0-193.1.2.el8_2.x86_64 dmesg: dmesg | grep 8821 [ 0.758821] pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0xfee00000-0xffffffff window] [ 3.187034] 8821ce: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.

I have an HP omen 15 laptop, using Pop OS 20.04 (kernel 5.13.0-7620-generic). Whenever I wake the laptop after suspend, my connected usb devices stop working. Following others' advice, I set the kernel option using kernelstub: usbcore.autosuspend=-1 However this doesn't seem to affect anything. I tried another suggestion using usbreset from usbutils. This is the result before suspending: stan@pop-os:~$ usbreset Usage: usbreset PPPP:VVVV - reset by product and vendor id usbreset BBB/DDD - reset by bus and device number usbreset "Product" - reset by product name Devices: Number 003/002 ID 046d:c52b USB Receiver Number 001/002 ID 30c9:000e HP Wide Vision HD Camera Number 001/003 ID 8087:0029 And this is after suspend and wake: stan@pop-os:~$ usbreset Usage: usbreset PPPP:VVVV - reset by product and vendor id usbreset BBB/DDD - reset by bus and device number usbreset "Product" - reset by product name Devices: So no devices detected there. EDIT: turns out that some devices are not affected, like external hdd. But any kind of mouse/keyboard is affected, doesn't matter if it is wireless or not. Strangely enough, the integrated camera also stops working. Everything works fine on reboot.

I'm on Arch Linux with Hyprland (I don't think its relevant but still). I just did a clean install and tried to setup the Mic Mute key like I had did while following this from the Manjaro Forums . But it seems that there is some issue that makes the mic mute fire twice, first as F20 and then as XF86AudioMicMute. This leads the the hyprland keybind toggling the Mic mute status and then reverting back on key release. I ran

# libinput debug-events --show-keycodes

This the output on pressing the F20 (Mic Mute) Key:

-event3   KEYBOARD_KEY                +0.000s	KEY_F20 (190) pressed
 event3   KEYBOARD_KEY                +0.130s	KEY_F20 (190) released

 event18  KEYBOARD_KEY                +0.330s	KEY_MICMUTE (248) released

This wasn't a problem in the previous arch install. Is there a way where I can disable the re-fire? My Laptop is: HP Envy 14 - Eb0021TX. **TIA**

First: virtual sound throuch RDP (**Remote Desktop Connection**) i.E. ***NoMachine*** works brilliantly, only the internal speakers and head phones don't give a sound. Sound drivers (**sound open firmware are installed by github source v2.2 (before most latter v2.12) **). **Sound card is intels *snd_hda_intel*.** I have followed the few links found on the net regarding Linux Mint or Ubuntu 22, which always are similar like: - install ALSA - Reinstalling sound system and restarting alsa - (re)install pipewire - install and configure hdajackretask (this is the least promising way IMHO) incl. restarting alsa,

So far no results. The only thing is working, is if you connect via NoMachine the sound is transferred to the remote computer. So I consider the sound is produced but somewhere between the layers of Abstraction of the OS down to the HW there is an issue. I beg you for your ideas, or solution (trees)!

[EDIT 3] Picture of Alsamixer. Is the device muted if its green around the number down in the column, or vice versa? Plus List of soundcards, which is actually default and sof-hda-default. But changing the volume or muting in alsamixer does not change the missing sound from the speakers and changes made don't survive a boot:

I'm having problem with the WiFi stuff. There is no WiFi section in the settings. I have tried installing drivers from two different repo. 1. https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88 and 2. https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce And I have also physically detached and reattached the driver. And nothing is working yet. The device is dual boot and wifi is not working in both Windows and ubuntu.

Thank You for the help!

I'm have installed Devuan Daedalus in my friend's computer. It is a HP laptop with AMD RYZEN 3 and Radeon Graphics. As expected, all the function keys don't work. That is alright. After suspend, when the system resumes, the screen doesn't turn on. I have checked all the power management settings. Changed the following in /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

to

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="persistent"

Nothing seems to work. Display manager is SLIM. Can someone help?

I have an HP ProBook 450 G2 thats headless, I connect it to a monitor and use it normally, a problem that's been bugging me ever since I installed Debian Bullseye on it is that I can't boot it normally, I have to hit F9 (Boot Device menu) before being able to actually boot into GRUB and then Debian. It is bootable, I can select it in F9 to actually boot into Debian, but it won't boot when I turn the computer on normally.

I am currently using Ubuntu, but I plan to switch to Debian. My system boots directly into Ubuntu, skipping the grub boot menu. I am using an HP laptop. Can I change the boot order using BIOS? Or can I make the grub boot menu show up some other way? Either way answers are greatly appreciated.

I am trying to install, for the first time, NetBSD-10.0-amd64 on HP EliteBook 8570w. After choosing "Install BSD" option installer goes to the booting mode and gets interrupted with an error:

I installed Debian 11 on Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 1TB… everything worked as expected. I disconnected (removed) NVMe from computer and booted to Tails using USB flash drive… everything worked as expected. I disconnected (removed) Tails USB flash drive and connected (added) NVMe to computer and booted… “BootDevice Not Found” error was thrown.

Strangely, I can boot to Debian (using same NVMe) on another computer (in other words, disk is not defective). What am I missing? Thanks for helping out!

The integrated display cannot go over above 50% brightness and buttons for changing it are inverted. I believe this is a well-known issue on HP Victus laptops - but it was never solved, not in the slightest. So I wonder if there is any idea to do something about it - I believe it is not EOS specific issue, as it persists on pure Arch and Ubuntu - is it possible to lock brightness on a hardware level? Or perhaps any workaround. Any help appreciated.

I tried to find out if there is any support for HP's "Scan to Computer" feature on Linux but had a hard time to find any useful information on hplib page or in the HP developer forums. Can anyone help out?

I have Ubuntu 22.04 and an HP Envy 7800 All-In-One printer which was working fine before I moved. Now, in my new place, the computer recognizes the printer via the WiFi connection, but it will not print. I think it's not set up. I have tried the HP-suggested procedures to no avail. I believe there are terminal commands which will fix this but don't know what they are. Please help.

I have a Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet Professional M1132 MFP, a couple of weeks ago I switched to Linux Mint, and now my printer won't work. When I plug the printer in it gets recognized and I can queue jobs just fine, it goes to rendering, but it just doesn't print, it brings up a generic error message and the job is just stuck there. I tried the troubleshooting that Linux Mint offers, and this is the result:

Let me know what I should do or if I should give more information. Thank you!

I'm fairly new to desktop Linux. I have a bit of experience using Debian on a server. I have an HP Pavilion 15-n072sr laptop, which I tried to make a little bit more useful by installing Linux on it, as it somewhat struggles with the latest Windows 10 version. This laptop is running **the latest version of BIOS** - Insyde F.72 ## Ubuntu My first pick was Ubuntu. I decided to download the latest 23.10 version, not 22.04 LTS, as I want to try the newest features and the newest versions of Gnome. The OS did install, but when I **power off** my laptop and then turn it on, the screen immediately gets spammed with the error message

ACPI Error: No handler or method for GPE XX, disabling event (20230331/evgpe-839)

And some other message that I cannot read, as it is overlayed by the abovementioned one. I don't even see the HP and Ubuntu logos on startup. The problem occurs only when I **Shutdown** the laptop. If I have Ubuntu running and press **Restart** the OS starts perfectly. I tried reinstalling Ubuntu 23.10, but still get the same problem. I decided to try installing Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and it worked flawlessly. Then I decided to update it to Ubuntu 23.04 by disabling updating only to LTS in the update manager, and then to Ubuntu 23.10. The problem was still present. ## Manjaro I also tried installing Manjaro, but the installer just won't start when I choose the option to boot either with proprietary drivers or open-source ones ## Fedora Next, I tried Fedora Workstation 38. The OS installed perfectly and worked flawlessly, it even booted up after I **power off** the laptop. It immediately asked for updates (including the system update) in the App Centre. When the updates were downloaded, I pressed "Restart & Install". After the updates were installed (there was a long wait with an update screen), the system booted up perfectly, but when I tried to **power off** the laptop and boot it up again the system wouldn't load at all: 1. The system would show a black screen with a static white text cursor unresponsive to any key presses and would be stuck there 2. Sometimes the booting will go a little further and would be stuck at the HP & Fedora loading screen. When I click ESC to see what was happening, I see the repeated message

[FAILED] Failed to start systemd-journald.service - Journal Service
See 'systemcl status systemd-journald.service' for details
Starting start systemd-journald.service - Journal Service...

When I physically power off the laptop by holding the power button, and then turn it on, I see Grub with these options: 1.

Linux (6.5.9-200.fc38.x86_64) 38 (Workstation Edition)

2.

Linux (6.2.9-300.fc38.x86_64) 38 (Workstation Edition)

3.

Linux (0-rescue-[UUID]) 38 (Workstation Edition)

4.

Firmware Settings

I've noticed that the problem occurs only with the kernel version 6.5.9-200, with all the other options like 6.2.9-300 or rescue mode the OS boots perfectly fine. I had to temporarily default to kernel versions 6.2.9-300 for the laptop to be of any use. But I really want to use the latest kernel, so this question on StackExchange is my last hope. I tried installing the Fedora Workstation 39 beta, but the installation wouldn't even boot, with the same problem I faced when trying to boot

Linux (6.5.9-200.fc38.x86_64) 38 (Workstation Edition)

## Things I tried

=nommconf

does nothing

=off

does solve the problem but it makes Gnome super laggy, disables all the animations and makes it use X11 I have two ram sticks in my laptop: a 4GB one, and an 8GB one. As I read on Fedora forums, I tried removing one of them, but it did not help. Trying to reinstall the OS does not seem to help, but installing a previous version like Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or not updating Fedora 38 via App Centre eliminates the problem. I really want to use the latest version, though.
