HP 15-AC053TX: 15-AC053TX of HP linux dual boot and RAM upgrade question

Hello

I want to buy HP laptop computer 15-AC053TX for VMS running on the science of data/data. I have the following questions

(1) will require computer support dual-boot Linux OS like Ubuntu and CentOS 64-bit?

(2) can I upgrade RAM 16 GB? Can I pre-order with a configuration upgrade or should I upgrade later through Service to the HP customer care?

All entries will be appreciated.

Thank you

It has 8 gigs in a single module, so all you have to do is add another module of 8 GB to 16. This particular model is a specific configuration and HP do not at this level off the coast of this issue of model, but you can order the same thing as a custom to order and get 16 gigs. If not upgrade memory isn't too hard on that one, and the upgrade, it'll be cheaper.

See p. 46 here:

Repair manuals

Manual specifications say it tops out at 8 gigs, but this has been proven incorrect and tackling the 16 concerts if you put two x 8 concert DDR3L-1600 modules.

Yes, you can dual boot a modern Linux distribution. Ubuntu 64 bit 15.04 and 15.10 will work off UEFI and Secure Boot for example and allow you to install right next to Windows 10 using the grub bootloader to choose your operating system at startup.

  • Acer Travelmate 7750 G freezes completely using Windows or Linux (dual boot). Need help please.

    The problem is that the machine freezes completely without apparent reason, on all operating systems, I tried.  "Freezes", I mean there is no reaction to the mouse movements, keyboard presses and start button / stop pressed off the coast.  The gel seems to be at a random time and may occur even when the system is idle.

    The Acer Travelmate 7750 G laptop came pre-installed with Windows 7 and it kept freezing.  The machine has been updated level of Windows 8, 8.1, 10, then dual boot with Linux Mint 17.3.  The machine froze on all operating systems.  I have tested software hard drive, memory, CPU, GPU and they all managed very well.  Is it someone who has knowledge about how to resolve or others troubleshoot this please?

    RESOLVED - I installed a HDD replacement in December 2015 and the laptop Travelmate 7750 G works perfectly since.  Cost me almost nothing compared to the price of the laptop.  No freezing, crashing or anything else!

  • Download Firefox for Linux without Adblock and other extensions

    I have a problem downloading of an adapted version of Firefox for Linux to run on a Knoppix Live DVD system, for use in the trial publishable extensions I developed under Windows. (This isn't a development question extension, however, just a problem downloading and the FF configuration properly).

    I was surprised as the current (FF40) and anterior (FF34) version for Linux come with 3 extensions installed permanently - NoScript, Adblock Plus and FoxyProxy Standard. They apparently cannot be uninstalled, even if they can be disabled.

    I read online in various forums that Adblock Plus is a hog memory and that she, in particular, as well as NoScript, may adversely affect the values with legitimate code on Web sites and extensions. I also read complaints from users who disable Adblock Plus does not remove all its effects.

    During my tests I had problems that I thought were the result of Adblock Plus, so I turned off and restart the browser. The situation is greatly improved, but there are still some problems that may or may not be related to the shortage of memory.

    The question is this: I want to download versions 'clean' FF for Linux without these extensions part 3 installed, for more conclusive tests, but have not found a way to do it.

    I'm also curious as to why these extensions are 'forced' on Linux users. (I hope that never happens on Windows, or I could become a less committed user of the FF).

    Firefox any version for Linux, Mac OSX and Windows www.mozilla.org or www.mozilla.org/firefox/all doesn't come with all Extensions.

    You already had these extensions installed in Firefox profile, you use with Firefox.

    All three of these Extensions are by a third author (s) and not by Mozilla.

  • Dual-boot Windows and Linux, but Linux has calendar, TB 31.0

    I'm using Linux Mint and Windows 7 dual-boot. I have TB 31.0 installed on each operating system. TB Linux has a capacity of calendar; in Windows, there is nothing (by nothing, I mean no calendars - I can't see their properties, for example, access somehow).

    I should add that Windows and Linux TB programs share the same profile folder (located on a separate partition), therefore, all of the same modules, passwords, etc.

    The error console records the following:

    Timestamp: 14/08/2014-18:41:33
    Error: Components.classes['@ [cid] is undefined
    Source file: resource://calendar/modules/calUtils.jsm-> file:///P:/PortableApps/ThunderbirdPortable/Data/profile/extensions/%7Be2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103%7D/calendar-js/calUtils.js
    Online: 17

    There are a variety of flow on the errors related to this.

    My apologies for posting this in this way; I intend to submit this via the crashreporter, but I can't get the program crash with this error earlier.

    An answer to my own question: it turns out that, while sharing a profile works quite well for most of the cases, with lightning, he does not, like the extension has different versions of Linux and Windows. The problem is solved very simply: by not using is not the same profile for each version.

    Glad to see that no one takes on this one (except me, of course).

  • Satellite C850 - 19(d) - I want to do a dual boot with Linux and Win 8

    Last week I had a Satellite C85O - PSCBWE-03200WGR 19(d)

    Yesterday, I try to make a dual boot with Ubuntu.

    I do not have a start to boot from USB, or iso CD (same choices as for the Toshiba application), and I did one on the bios:
    -Disable secure boot
    -Change UEFI CSM support
    -Save

    On reboot, I get not Toshiba logo, but a black screen with:

    «This product is covered by one or more of the following patents:...» (list of patents...)

    Realtek...

    PXE - E61: Media test faliure check cable
    PXE - MOF: Exit PXE ROM
    "No boot device - insert boot and press a key.

    I can't open the Bios again at F2.

    Which I recover the system?

    Hello

    The unit has been pre-installed with Win 8 64 bit right?

    Change BIOS setting of UEFI to CSM and disabling secure boot prevent Notepad to start 8 to win!

    That's why the device cannot find the boot device and passes to the last option: LAN.
    But given that the laptop can not find bootable system via LAN, the error PXE - E61: Media test faliure check cable appears.

    If you want to use a dual boot, you will need to boot into Win 8
    Win 8 you must create a partition for installing Linux. This can be down in Win 8 disk management. It must reduce a last partition and have to create new free space available.

    Now to start installing Linux you need support... you can burn the iso on DVD or a USB bootable Linux. There are a lot of details on the internet how to create these media.
    Once you have created the bootable USB key, restart your PC with USB connected.
    Press F12 for the boot menu. Now you should see the key USB (if it is bootable!) choose USB and you should be able to install Linux (Ubuntu is great!)

    Here's a nice page that would provide the statement all step by step!

  • Satellite L305-S5939 - Dual boot with Linux

    I recently bought the notebook title mentioned for my studies in computer programming that will require me to dual boot with Linux.
    I decided to use Ubuntu and their instructions for upward the dual boot parameters are simple.

    However, I heard from people having problems with the settings of the BIOS on other brands when said is finished.
    Before I embark on this journey, I want to just make sure that everything is set to avoid problems.

    Unfortunately, I have not found much information about Dual boot with Linux and Toshiba L305s.
    Other than the basic principles of what I need to do before installing?

    I think that a dual boot on the Satellite L305 should not be a problem because you can do it on every laptop or PC.

    If you want Ubuntu you should take a look on Wubi
    http://wubi-Installer.org/
    It of pretty easy to use and in my opinion the best way to install Ubuntu on a system dual boot.

  • Dual Boot windows Linux 8.1 on Pavilion 17-e157eo

    Will there be a completely safe way for a dual-boot Windows 8.1 and Linux on a Pavilion 17-e157eo?

    I searched the dualboot topics, but solutions do not seem to apply in this case.  Secure boot has been disabled. Quick start has been disabled. In this PC disk partitions are not dynamic but simple.

    Starting from a Live Linux DVD results in a blank screen even if the DVD player is clearly read something.  Is the problem due to the fact that this PC has the INTEL 4600 graphics chip and an AMD Radeon 8670 M?

    A better solution would be to use VMware or VirtualBox, set up a Linux guest operating system, the host system is of course Windows 8.1?

    No problem, glad I could help. If you could mark one of my posts with an acceptable Solution and congratulations if this information was useful, it would be much appreciated and it would be useful to other institutions. Thank you and have a great day!

  • How much better the partition of the HARD drive for dual boot: Windows 8 and Linux

    Hello

    I am a newbie in Windows 8, linux, Partition...

    I want to use my new laptop with windows 8 pre-installed on the following:

    Create a Dual Boot Windows 8 / Ubuntu
    Create on my drive C (single disk on my laptop):

    * a partition for the system
    * one for Windows 8
    * one for data and
    least for Ubuntu OS

    My goal is:

    -to install VmWare on Windows 8 and run Splat Checkpoint with virtual machines to make the FCTC laboratories.

    to install GNS3 on Ubuntu for CCNP Labs but with GNS3 to access the files in the data partition

    I have a Toshiba Satellite with 750 GB and 8 GB of RAM.

    According to you, what is the best size for my scores?
    Is there a better way to partition my C drive on my goal?

    Best regards

    I don't know if this is the right section, sorry for that. Feel free to move this thread in the appropriate section *.

    I think the size of partitions depends of the you want to use and install other software.
    So if you have a lot of software which runs under the Windows System I recommend to choose a larger size to win 8 partition.

    However, given that you have a 750 GB HARD drive, you could take 200GB for Win 8, 100 GB to Linux and the rest of the HARD drive size, that you can use for data.

    By the way: I found Nice YouTube video how to create a dual boot using 8 Win and Linux http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_Yd2jK-7Jg

  • Dual boot Linux - Windows on the Satellite U940

    Hello to everyone.

    I'm pretty new to this forum and I have a Toshiba Satellite nine U940-10N? Using Linux for the past 2 years, I would install a debian wheezy on this distribution.

    Only Debian has been installed on my old computer, so I'm net really uncomfortable with dual boot especially with the ssd.

    I really don't like windows, but I still sometimes work on this subject.

    Don't you think it would be better to install linux on the system system, as I've seen on most threads, with only the/home on the HARD drive? Or do you think it would be interesting to build another raid as if it was now for windows? You want better performance and speed this way.

    Another question: is it possible to have a data to ext4 partition and make windows to see or what I write to ntfs? I noticed that the written on linux with gparted fat32 and ntfs are not recognized by windows 8.
    Those are my questions for now.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    First let's look at your situation - U940-10N will probably be a unit Win8, right?
    If YES - then the BIOS must be configured for a UEFI boot.
    Secure boot can be disabled.

    It seems Debian is not so far in supporting UEFI / EFI start modes.
    Look at this ad from back in October:

    http://www.debian.org/devel/Debian-Installer/news/2012/20121018

    So, you'll need to make sure that your debian flavor may start in UEFI boot mode.
    If this isn't the case, you will have problems getting the two OS' (Debian and Win8) live side by side and start-up without problem.

    Then, you will need to ensure that Debian is able to install a bootloader that takes account of Windows 8 and is able to start this OS.

    Storage looking, I tried to install Fedora on a system of double storage (SSD + HDD).
    I installed the OS on the SSD and my structure of the House was placed on the HARD drive.
    It worked very well.
    I think that this also provides better performance, but I have no real statistics to back it up.

    Ext4 is not supported by Windows out of the box, but there is an existing driver that implements ext2, 3, 4 support for Windows: http://www.ext2fsd.com/

    If you ask me, I'd rather have Linux to access an NTFS partition that having Windows trying to write on a partition Ext2/3/4. I have full confidence in the NTFS from Linux support, but not the reverse.

    If Fat and NTFS partitions are not recognized by Windows, check that partitions Fat32 or NTFS.
    Maybe it's that the file systems are NTFS / Fat but the partitions have signatures of Linux.

    Hope this helps

  • How to create the dual boot with Red Hat Linux and Vista on Satellite A200

    Hi all!

    I have a Satellite A200 pre-installed with vista home premium and I would install another OS that is Red Hat Linux Fedora Core 7.
    Can someone advice me how do? I'll be very grateful to receive your answers. Thanks again!

    Well, I put t use this Linux distro on my laptop but I used the Knoppix Live CD and it was very easy.
    It was not necessary to install anything. I simply booted from the Live CD and I could use the full Linux operating system.

    So, it might be better to use this Linux live CD instead of the complete installation.
    I think that the main problem would be available to the driver.
    The fact is that Toshiba does not support Linux on laptops and so Linux drivers are not available.

  • Dual boot with Windows 7 and LINUX - Tecra A11 (PTSE1A - 005-00L)

    Hello

    I bought a new Tecra A11 computer laptop running WIN7 Pro. I want to install LINUX also. This means that I want to run my laptop in dual boot Win7 Pro/LINUX (a Distributor). Please tell me how to do this.

    There are 5 partitions on the HARD disk:
    1 active, recovery partiton 1.46 GB (without drive letter)
    2. principal asset C: start 145,04 GB (NTFS)
    3. active logics E: 78,13 GB (NTFS)
    4 active logical F: 64.25 GB (NTFS)
    5 primary Partition 9.2 GB (no drive letter, the unknown application)

    Hey, I need because I was admitted to a course of RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer)

    Please help me

    Hello

    I can't give you a step by step explanation, but most distributions offer today a possibility to coexist with Windows.
    When installing the unused free space will be taken by Linux (with the consent of the user of course!)

    What exact configuration you need is impossible for someone else to say, but I would say to make the space occupied by the F player available for Linux.
    You seem to have of enough space for Windows and Linux operating system doesn't have much.

    Some thoughts about setting up your score:

    I touch NOT 1,2 and 5 no matter what. They are your system and a system of internal partitions (recovery and data environment) and wouldn't it be fun to lose.

    1 active, recovery partiton 1.46 GB (without drive letter)
    2. principal asset C: start 145,04 GB (NTFS)
    3. active logics E: 78,13 GB (NTFS)
    4 active logical F: 64.25 GB (NTFS)
    5 primary Partition 9.2 GB (no drive letter, the unknown application)

    Then choose a Distro (Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora and OpenSuse - suggestion Fedora will be as close as possible associated with RedHat) that will guide you in the steps to allocate space for Linux.
    I suggest however to remove the disk F in Windows for Linux does not start from resizing all partitions.
    I do not know which works perfectly, but will just take time, and will most probably remain pretty useless drive F.

    If you have valuable data on your device, make sure to save! No software comes with warranty :)
    Last but not least - make 100% sure to create a collection set using the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator before you start the installation of Linux.
    If something goes wrong you have the opportunity to put the unit in factory condition.

    Good luck and keep asking you if you need extra help!

  • Satellite P100 - 277 Linux LiveCD Boot from SD card?

    Hey there, my first ever post on these forums, and I had a question.

    It is possible to unwrap a Linux live CD (like Ubuntu or Mandriva) on a 1 GB SD card (inserted in the multimedia card reader integrated course ;)) and from it?

    I tried the boot option 'Reader of floppy Boot', but it completely ignores the card reader (seems not yet-> LED is not light up at all) and one of my friend told me that this is supposed to be the boot disk... But this is no logical, portable computers first of today do not come with floppy drives, and second, all the other computers I have here call boot disks just that... Diskette or... another name clearly designating a floppy drive (something with a removable 3.5 inches)...

    So can you help me with this? I tried various Linux distributions, it does not at all.

    Well, I've never used the SD card for the start of Linux, but it s very interesting questions
    Toshiba provides a utility to clean boot on the SD card. This utility formats the SD card and copy other startup files to start the procedure.

    You can try to copy the files from linux on the SD card.
    If you want to start to the top of the SD card, you can use the F12 key immediately after the laptop boot then a start menu should appear.
    Here you can choose the SD card as a source of start-up

    But as I said I m not 100% sure if it works with the Linux files

  • Dual boot between the preinstalled Vista and Linux

    I think installing dual-boot between Linux systems, for this I need to repartition the hard drive and reinstall vista and vista pre-installed that I na? t have the disc so that I only have recovery.

    Assuming that the operating system is on the machine in a hidden partition is it possible to make as if I change the custom of available to partition I lose the data recovery. Also, if it's possible here is a recommended distribution to use.

    As far as I know the recovery system resides in a hidden partition.
    On my machine, it is/dev/sda1

    After this partition (the remaining rest) there is a large partition with Vista on it.
    On my machine, it is/dev/sda2

    You can resize (i.e. minimize) / dev/sda2 partition of your distribution tool.
    Then, create a scope/dev/sda3 partition

    In/dev/sda3, you can create partitions for your Linux system

    On my machine, there is no need to reinstall Vista; Dual boot works fine.
    After the Vista partition with partition tool of opensuse 10.2 resizing Vista has conducted an audit of file system
