M3800 Ubuntu 15.04
Hi Guys,
What is the situation if I want to upgrade my M3800 to Ubuntu 15.04?
Can I just update my apt sources and use the normal upgrade procedure?
Will this have any effect on my support contract or warranty?
Thanks in advance.

I am running kernel 3.19 on 14.04 LTS, and I had to set the Thunderbolt security no None in the Bios before I could use the video and Ethernet. I do have an audio issue, though, as the left and right channels are swapped.
I am also on BIOS version A09.

Worked out of the box for me, which kernel are you on?

OK, thanks. I'll look at the BIOS settings.
Regarding the kernel, did you manually specify you wanted 3.19?

The BIOS setting solved the issue for me. Thanks for the help!

I didn't realize there were different wi-fi cards available, but mine's the Broadcom one. I've been in touch with Dell TechSupport about it, but no fix yet.
The issue is similar to that shown here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/572413/ubuntu-14-04-lts-wifi-doesnt-work-until-i-press-suspend-and-resume
I haven't tried the linked fix yet. Right now I'm a little tired of fiddling, and since things seem (relatively) stable, I'm not really wanting to be a guinea pig for a little while haha :)
I've heard mixed things about Bumblebee. It sounds like an ideal situation... is there a reason Prime might be a better solution?

I was having some problems with installing a couple packages on the Dell 14.04 image and ended up flashing a clean 15.04 image into my m3800. So far almost everything looks to be working perfectly:
I installed the nvidia-346 drivers as well as nvidia settings and prime ("sudo apt-get install nvidia-346 nvidia-settings nvidia-prime"), and things look to be working as expected from a graphics perspective. I've only done a little bit of switching between the discrete and intel graphics, but that seems to work correctly.
The only issue I am seeing that I have found is that on reboot, Wi-Fi and bluetooth does not connect until I "Suspend" once, and then it seems to work until I reboot again.
Has anyone tried installing the CUDA toolkit?

Now that's interesting, I had no luck with nvidia outside of bumblebee. My WiFi has not had an issue, do you have the Intel card or the broadcom card?
