The required packages have to be downloaded from the homepage of Dropbox. Now the laptop recognizes the DVDs as soon as the DVD drawer closes.ĬloudThe integration with a cloud service is a requirement for a workplace.
#UBUNTU 16.04 BITLOCKER READER INSTALL#
$ sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 libdvdnav4ĭuring the installation of the first package there are some more action to take and at the end I did reboot the laptop. In order to play video with different formats and play commercial DVD some action is required. Both hear phones out OK, microphone in OK. The sound is awesome, all speakers works. The same for the volume control: I can slide the finger on the bar to adjust the volume. The same for the icons on the HP bar between keyboard and screen. All function keys, play/pause (F9), stop (F10), backward (F11) and forward (F12) works. Just after I close the CD drawer Ubuntu start the Rythmbox. I have a collection of music CD and I use the laptop to play it. The brightness keys down (F7) and up (F8) are OK. I use the Shotwell viewer which is installed by default. MultimediaThe Pavilion dv7 was born to be a multimedia center and it remains a great multimedia computer with Ubuntu.ĭue to the big brilliant display any kind of big high definition pictures are supported. The second solution on "Driver for Validity Sensors Fingerprint scanner" works fine.

The finger print reader requires some additional software to be used. I can reduce the consumption closing the lid of the laptop since this action is configured for hibernation. I changed the configuration to avoid the suspension. Other Ubuntu 16.04 users reports the same problem with different notebooks. I have to force a switch off using the power button. The desktop is incomplete and nothing works anymore. After a suspension the laptop doesn't resume. Hibernate is OK, suspend instead is a disaster. The Pavilion has a very short battery autonomy an hibernate helps a lot to save power. The article was written for 14.04 but works also for 16.04. I found a good how-to enable hibernate here. Hibernate is disabled by default and has to be enabled. Ubuntu flashes the indicator when some activity occurs.

Under Windows Vista was blue (active) or orange (disabled). Something unusual is the flashing of the WiFi indicator. The 2.4 GHz connection reaches 72 Mbit if the dv7 is in the same room as the WiFi router. The WiFi module may work with both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies. I connect the laptop with a cable to a 1Gbit router, the file transfer is really fast. The network connectivity doesn't cause any problems. The card reader was tested using an old 2 GB SD-Card and with a new 32 GB SDHC-Card both are good in R/W and performance. All R/W operations are OK and the performance is the same I have on a recent desktop. I have tested the USB ports using a 16GB USB-2 Stick and a 1TB USB-3 external disk. The Pavilion did overheat quite fast with Windows Vista. Mouse, mouse pad, keyboard works.Īfter one hour work the ventilator still runs at low speed. The display is brilliant and the image well defined as it was with Windows. The overall performance is a bit better as with Windows Vista. I don't use cryptography or the LVM because of the old hardware.ĬompatibiltyA lot of things works and doesn't require special attention. I choose to delete all existing informations an make a clean install. Ubuntu InstallationI reboot the laptop from the USB stick and ask Ubuntu to install my hard disk.
To be honest I didn't try to restore Vista on the Laptop to see if the backup was really usable. It works, ntfsclone shows some bad sectors (8) but nothing seems to be wrong.
I do the same for the /dev/dsa2 partition (the D drive of Vista). I use the rescue option because i expect to found bad sectors on a 10 years old hard disk. o /media/ubuntu/usb-disk-name/drive-c-backup.img /dev/sda1 I reboot the Pavilion using the Ubuntu USB stick and I connect an external USB disk drive (1 TB) and start the backup of the first partition (the C drive of Vista): After the check I restart Vista for the last time. I have to boot the Vista OS and perform a disk check on both NTFS partitions because the ntfsclone utility doesn't work if the disk isn't clean. I'm lucky: all what I need is working.īackupI don't really need the data on this laptop, but it is a good chance to experiment with the NTFS utilities of Ubuntu. I boot my Pavilion from the USB device to see if it works. PreliminaryI load the Ubuntu 32-bit workstation on a 16 GB USB stick. The dv7-1060ez is a dual core with 4 GB memory and 310 GB hard disk, good candidate to become a usable Ubuntu laptop. Microsoft now is going to end the support for Vista. Ten years ago I did buy a big HP laptop which was delivered with Windows Vista.
