Hi, My Dell 5510 DE takes 93 seconds to run compared to 24 second on a 3 year old 4600U based laptop. sysbench --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 run I'm running kernel 4.4.0-78, BIOS 1.20, disabled Intel SpeedStep in the BIOS just in case. I have noticed that the CPU speed is 800000 and scaling

So the problem began with a friend of mine forgetting her Ubuntu password on this small Inspiron 11. I decided to reinstall Ubuntu, which led to the OS not booting anymore. After failed attempts to reinstall, I discovered the volume I was trying to install Ubuntu on was an LVM volume (she chose en

Hello Everyone, I am having this problem with my Dell Precision 5510 laptop where sometimes the machine would not go to sleep if I close my machine's lid. I am actually running Arch Linux instead of the official Dell Ubuntu distro. I know that sleeping normally does work when closing the lid since

What features does BIOS v1.3.4 offer for the Dell 9360 (Developer Edition)? I've updated already.  I looked at what was reported on the driver support page, and it only listed: Enhance Windows 10 Enterprise Redstone 1 support Redstone meaning "Anniversary Update" edition... Does this update

Hi, I have tried to connect an external monitor (Samsung XL2370HD LED) to my new XPS 13 9360 QHD (Ubuntu 16.04) with no success. I've tried with CableCreation Gold USB 3.1 Type C (USB-C) to HDMI Adapter, and after testing different screens, cables and resolutions I didn't manage to make it work

I used to run a WD15 docking station with kernel 4.9.8 _quite_ stable (except for LAN). After updating to kernel 4.10 (which came with Ubuntu 17.04), the WD15 behaves not so nice anymore.In particular, USB connections are gone. Reverting to 4.9.8 helped, though. Has anybody had similar experiences

I bought a Dell XPS 13 9360 last year and it came with Ubuntu 16.04. October came and went and there was no sign of an official Dell 16.10 upgrade that I could see. Now 17.04 has been released and I see no word of an official Dell release yet. I understand it may take a while to get it ready after

I have an XPS 13 9350 running Ubuntu 16.04 (touchscreen). Is it OK to update to Ubuntu 16.10? And then 17.04? Thanks.

I have a hard time to install double boot on my Dell XPS 13 (9360, late 2016), namely I can’t shrink partition (size of available shrink space is too small, 115MB on my 256GB SSD). Things I tried, did not help:- Switched SATA operation from RAID on to AHCI mode- Disabled Secure Boot- Disabled pagef

Hello, I have a Dell XP3 13 running Ubuntu 16.04 (kernel 4.6.4) connected to a WD15 docking station. The WD15 works quite well except for the Ethernet connection. With Ethernet connected, the notebook freezes completely on occasion, forcing me to reboot. So I went looking for firmware and driver

Hello, I have been considering buying a developer edition of the XPS 13, but I have noticed that for models sold through the US store, the identical model (i5/8GB/128GB) with windows preloaded is $100 more expensive than the developer edition. Makes sense, and if I remember correctly this has histo

Hi, I’ve been a dell customer since October last year, and let me tell you I’m pretty happy with my XPS13 (ubuntu edition) and let me express my gratitude that a company like Dell is actively pursuing and pushing the linux desktop. This means a lot to the linux/ubuntu community and in my personal o

Hi all, as the post's subject says, i just received my XPS 13 with Ubuntu 16.04. The problem is that i can't make work the HDMI connection with the DA200 Adapter. The external monitor is a Dell U2417H and its resolution is 1920x1080, 60Hz (so it should be ok for the adapter). The external monit

I want to boot an Optiplex machine using a USB Flash drive. Is there a simple way to do it? The unit isn't connected to a screen or keyboard and as such I am unable to change the boot sequence or hit F12 etc. At the moment if I plug in a bootable USB Flash drive the system still boots straight off t

Hi everybody, After I was so happy to have found a Linux supported laptop with very good specifications, I had to return the brand new 9350 QHD+ because of the coil whine noise. It was a real pity because I was in love with the rest, but it was simply too loud. Now I am thinking again what to buy.

I just received my new XPS 15, and am (cautiously) setting it up as a data science workhorse. Windows 10 will be my primary O/S, but I also want Linux. There are so many forum discussions that I don't know what direction to follow. It seems that a dual-boot setup risks wiping the Dell O/S recovery

I have moved from windows to Ubuntu recently and I have installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my new Dell xps 15 9550 laptop. Everything works perfect except the display. It keeps flickering. maybe the problem is with the NVIDIA graphics. Will someone be able to help me with this issue. Thanks

Hi, I just received my Precision 5510 with Ubuntu 14.04 pre-installed. I noticed the Ubuntu installed on the laptop is not a vanilla Ubuntu distro. For example, it has a few additional DELL specific apt repos added to it. Or it has the Recovery Disk creator app pre-installed, etc. I've created a
