I am running an Ubuntu and Windows dual boot on my Dell XPS laptop. Originally I had success in running this dual boot by following the steps here: Workaround to Install Ubuntu 20.04 with Intel RST systems or here: Install dual boot ubuntu with windows 10 and RAID on to run both windows and ubuntu on this computer by switching to ACHI instead of RAID, however over a few months this created significant b ...

We have purchased this brand new Dell Vostro 14 3000 laptop which comes with 8GB RAM and SSD drives.

Tried installing latest Ubutnu 20.04.3 LTS on this machine, but it has problem with the sound quality. When any kind of sound is played there is a weird buzz in the back ground.

Have tried searching for any updated drives on Dell website, but could not find any.

This is essentially the same question as that from axtimwalde.
I bought the XPS 17 9700 in April and after a lot of struggling got it to dual boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu 21.04 (having failed with 20.04 LTS).
Then a week or two ago, I ran apt upgrade and the wifi adaptor disappeared in Ubuntu. It also went in Windows 10, so I assumed a hardware failure and contacted Dell hardware support. After some tests ...

I have been 3 days w/o wifi on my Linux/Ubuntu machine with a Dell XPS-9500 and Qualcomm/Killer Wificard. I have tried every tutorial I could find on this topic with no luck. When I type sudo lshw -C network there is no wireless connection at all.

I am experiencing random screen freezes too often while working on ubuntu 21.04 in dell Inspiron 15-3000. The system came with a Windows 10 OS, and I dual boot it myself and is currently having Ubuntu alongwith Windows OS. Windows work pretty well. But ubuntu freezes quite often, like 6-7 times in 1 hour. The mouse, touchpad, or keyboard doesnt work and i have to reboot the system using the power button ...

I recently got a Dell Precision 3450 with ubuntu 20.04, and upgraded to ubuntu 21.10 in two steps (20.04 -> 21.04 -> 21.10). This required upgrading the file /usr/lib/os-release by hand, as described here, probably because of customizations by Dell to the OEM install.

In any case, the system works fine now, with one exception. When I type curl in the terminal (which I installed after the second ...

I'm a newbie to Ubuntu and Linux honestly and a problem I have which I looked for an answer in forums for hours and got nothing. I have a Dell laptop inspiron 15 3000 and when I start working, no matter how long does it take (normally I use it for more than 3 hours a day), its fan literally doesn’t work. My laptop becomes so hot and programs crash. For this reason I only have a good experience of usin ...

I have a Dell WD15 docking station, and one of my laptops is a bit older so it does not have a USB-c port. When connecting that hp laptop (Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS) I get the usb and audio connections, but there is no signal for the monitors. Is there a way to make this setup work, or is this hopeless?

I just purchased a dell inspiron 14 7000. I installed ubuntu 20.04 on it but I have a problem: Everything works fine during installation. I can boot it one time after the installation. After that, if I reboot it, it doesn't boots anymore: black screen.

I installed Ubuntu 20.04 on my dell precision m4600 and the setup was fine until I got to the wireless network setup. I chose my home internet and put the passcode and then hit enter, it showed me that the machine is trying to connect but then it gave me pop up "authentication required", so I then hit enter again because the password was already in there but the pop up happened again and again.

I am using DELL Latitude 3400 laptop. How is it possible to update the BIOS from Ubuntu 20.04.

I found a Dell XPS M1730 in my box of computers and wanted to bring it back to life with Linux. 30 days ago, I installed Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS (Focal Fossa) and was impressed with the speed of Ubuntu. I could go onto YouTube in just 1 second and load a normal webpage as fast as I can snap my finger. But after 30 days I am experiencing slowness:

• Firefox takes 4 seconds to load
• Settings take 3 seconds

I have been using Ubuntu with my Dell Precisoon E5470 flawlessly, until I upgraded to version 21.10. The trackpad is simply not detected anymore, e.g. cat /proc/bus/input/devices does not list the trackpad. Any tips are welcome.

I'm trying to install nvidia drivers on my inspiron 16 plus, with an rtx 3050. The laptop boots and works for a bit, but there are weird rainbow artifacts and then the screen dies.

The problem seems to be on both the 470 and 460 driver. I tried installing the drivers from the terminal, through the drivers menu and with the .run package, but they all have the same results.

How can I get my videocard  ...

After upgrading from Ubuntu 20.10 to 21.10 (via 21.04, which I didn't test for suspend/resume behaviour), suspend/resume no longer works properly.

If I use the proprietary NVIDIA driver metapackage from nvidia-driver-470, the system seems to suspend ok -- using the power button (equivalent to systemctl suspend) --, but on resume, the display stays black and I have to power off to escape this.

Upon booting, there is about an 80% chance that the laptop will simply freeze, load to a black screen, or just dump a bunch of text in a booting terminal window and eventually freeze when it is plugged into my Dell WD19TB Thunderbolt 3 dock.

If I boot my laptop without the dock plugged in there is no issues, however if I then plug the dock in afterwards, there is again an ~80% chance that it will ...

I got my new Dell Precision 3551 computer about a month ago, and installed Ubuntu 20.04.1 on it. However, since then, I've experienced random restarts at seemingly random times. The computer just restarts without any forewarning or error messages. This is of course very inconvenient.

I haven't been able to notice any pattern in the timing or frequency of the restarts. Sometimes, even when I'm awa ...

In addition to installing the old drives in ...
