R. Becke, as per the release notes from http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=5405097&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4192 an update to your computer's buggy, insecure, and outdated BIOS is available (1.37). When you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does this improve the situation?
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. Also, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible: 1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect): sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date 2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not. 3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists- upstream-4.7-rc2 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579481 Title: 16.04 -> External Monitor not working -> radeon VCE init error (-110) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Since I've upgraded 15.10 to 16.04 my external monitor is not working anymore.
