Hello,
I have troubles with installation, I tried to install Fedora from DVD, but when I restart laptop with the DVD, it just won't boot. The laptop becomes stuck and the screen is black and I can't do anything. I must manually turn off laptop. I tried to burn the ISO image on 3 different DVDs from different computers but with the same effect.
Hi,

Hello i am experiencing a strange problem under Ubuntu 12.04.
If I unplug the charger while my laptop is on,i don't see any messages but my laptop goes straight into a suspend or hibernate mode and it's a real pain to get it stable again afterwards.

It always takes 2 attempts to restart it (press power button, it starts and it hibernates again, press power butt
If I'm working on Windows 7 and close the laptop, it logs me out, and when I open it again I can log back in. However, if I close the laptop with Ubuntu running, the screen goes black and it freezes, why?
I am running the latest version of Ubuntu.
Update
Problem solved, i got the answer from ubuntu forums, I had to go to the power settings and choose "do nothing" when the lid is closed

Hi everybody, I've done a clean install of Ubuntu 11.10 on my HP Pavilion dm1 from a USB disk. The installation seemed to work fine. When I power on,
1. I get the flashing prompt on a black screen for a second or two,
2. the usual instructions to hit escape for the boot menu appears,
3. Flashing prompt again for a second
4.
I've been trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 on a laptop for a friend, but I can't seem to get it to display anything. In order to make the installer work, I had to run it in nomodeset mode, otherwise the screen was almost completely black. I could very dimly see the install screen, but barely.
Sometimes when I pick up my laptop, it decides to stop the power supply running. It will just suddenly go black and not save my documents. When it happens, it makes a high pitch power down noise then just goes to black, where I then need to restart it. What could be the problem? Could my battery be loose?
Also, my laptop says, "consider changing your battery". Is it broken? Or faulty?
