However, in the certified hardware list, I don't see the Envy 6. The microcode updates can be applied after you have a Linux distro running. I think it is possible to install microcode updates from Windows but you may have to wait for MS to distribute them. The commits should be available in newer kernels. Kernel 3.18 or newer would be the best bet. Ubuntu 15.04 has the 3.19 kernel. Fedora 22 has kernel 4.0.0.

The operating system is a collection of the basic instructions that tell the electronic parts of the computer what to do and how to work. Free, Libre and open source software (FLOSS) means that everyone has the freedom to use it, see how it works, and change it. GNU/Linux is a collaborative effort between the GNU project, formed in 1983 to develop the GNU operating system and the development team of Linux, a kernel. Initially Linux was intended to develop into an operating system of its own, but these plans were shelved somewhere along the way. Linux is also used without GNU in embedded systems, mobile phones and appliances, often with BusyBox or other such embedded tools. • • • Join us on IRC at # on freenode.net!

I bought an hp pavilion dv6z-7000 in August and have not been able to get the full sound out of its Beats Audio speakers. Looking at forums, there are a lot of users with similar issues across the entire hp Beats Audio lineup. I finally figured it out accidentally while looking for a program to retask my desktop's sound jacks. Ah, seems we have different chips. Garmin forerunner 110 gps watch. Here's my 'alsamixer': Default/'Playback' view: All view: I usually set PCM down to around 30 for headphones, then around 70-90 for speakers. My Mic settings are all messed up, I haven't bothered to get them working so they're (mostly) muted. You could try experimenting with what's in alsamixer. What I do is mute everything then turn each on and off. Maybe 'Surround'? I really don't know enough about alsamixer to know how things get in there or how to put them in manually. Thanks so much for doing the legwork on this! I hope the subwoofer ends up sounding good. Just last week I was poking at this trying to see if some simple configuration change and I guess it's a bit more. We Linux-using dv6 7000 users need to stick together. I'm on Xubuntu but btw, has anyone else had issues with Linux on the dv6 7000 with: SD card reader not responding and making no dmesg output? Screen attempting to blank but flashing and remaining on but blacked out? (my 'fix' is to ctrl-alt-f8, I think it's tied to the screensaver) Power charger brick making 'zzt zzt' noises, generally around the same time a usb mouse is moved? I've got the first two issues as well, but no power brick noise. The black screen is annoying and I haven't looked much into it. Microsoft jobs for freshers 2012 in hyderabad the greatest showman. I'm also following some bugs with Steam and TF2 not working right on the AMD Dual Graphics setup it has. I want to say the SD card is on the USB bus and not recognized. I'm getting 'Realtek Semiconductor Corp.' And there's nothing else that is Realtek besides the network card which is PCIe. That would explain why no dmesg output, because it already sees the device but can't talk to it. I had Kubuntu on it previously, but the issues persist no matter what DE you use. Thanks for the info. Good to know that the SD card is a software issue, not hardware. Interesting theory. Yeah I looked into what devices were being reported for other hardware but I don't specifically remember an SD card reader showing up, I have to look again though. At some point I had an issue where the screensaver process crashed and for the bit after that the screen would blank properly, so I almost think the monitor-light-not-going-off issue is related to the screensaver. I don't know if different DEs use different screen savers but I think it's had this issue with Kubuntu for me also, but I know for sure Xubuntu. Maybe swapping out a different screensaver? I RMA'd my first power brick and it might be my house wiring, or the laptop, or how I turn it off (I turn off a power strip, got a new one just after the RMA to rule out a bad powerstrip) so far the new power brick has only done it very slightly, though I forget if the first one took a while to start. Probably should RMA again. Figured out the SD card. It's a PCIe Realtek RTS5229 card reader and the driver hasn't made it into the mainline kernel yet (apparently it has been submitted, just a new product I guess). You can download the driver source here: for Unix (Linux) RTS5229. Extract it, then: cd rts5229 make sudo make install sudo depmod sudo modprobe rts5229 This build, installs, and then loads the module into the running kernel. As soon as this is done you should be able to read SD cards. If your kernel upgrades this goes away and you'll have to re-apply it, but hopefully soon the new kernels will have it built in. How To Install Ubuntu On Hp Envy 4527Edit: The Realtek device on the USB bus is the webcam. You can do 'lsusb' and 'lspci' to scan for hardware, I finally found the card reader with lspci. Wow, good work. I'll look into installing that pretty soon. Back on my old laptop I had to install the ethernet driver from the manufacturer to get gigabit to work and I think I remember some people mentioning rigging up some DKMS-style or a similar tech to autobuild and install for new kernel updates. One of us might be able to find out how to set that up. Btw one issue I forgot to mention that I had to solve in the beginning was a volume indicator goes to just above '15' then jumps to 0. In 'alsamixer' the 'Master' still does it, but I did something so my panel volume thing didn't. If you're having that issue I can dig up how I solved it. Now all we need is to figure out that screen blanking issue and, ideally, get all this on Good job! Ok so just got it all working. Awesome for one! Haven't rebooted yet but I'm not really worried. But also for people that may have the same issues I had (say on Xubuntu) (people that are a bit paranoid / security-conscious should see my following comment first probably btw): Issue 1: At step 8, a few seconds after clicking 'Apply' I would get the message: tee: /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/reconfig: Device or resource busy And Google pointed me to a bug[1] where David Henningsson himself says[2]: You probably need to kill pulseaudio: echo autospawn = no >> ~/.pulse/client.conf killall pulseaudio Also check with sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/* for other processes currently using sound cards.
