ISO for Ubuntu 14.04 (and 16.04) for Linux-based Dell laptops

Hello

I just got my 5510 precision with pre-installed Ubuntu 14.04.

I noticed that the installed Ubuntu on the laptop is not a vanilla Ubuntu distro. For example, there are a few other DELL specific apt rest added to it. Or it has preinstalled recovery disk creator app, etc..

I created a USB recovery already, but what DELL hosts this OEM ISO slightly modified for the Ubuntu somewhere on their servers for download - in case someone loses the recovery media and requires the download somewhere?

I also noticed that DELL specific rest for 16.04 are already on the rest of Ubuntu (dell.archive.ubuntu.com/.../xenial). This means that 16.04 is good to go now for my laptop?

And if I want to clean install 16.04, DELL provides an ISO to measure with their rest file apt already pre-configured and extra apps pre-installed?

Two other questions:

  • Additional measures that I have to do if I want to install Kubuntu 16.04 on my 5510 precision? (eg. What rest apt I might add?)

    • Better yet, DELL provides personalized Kubuntu ISO files?
  • How well do Fedora works on these machines?

Thanks in advance.

I have this laptop (precision 5510, 32 GB of RAM, i7-6820HQ) for a week and everything I've done so far are optimizations (Windows/Ubuntu) and always the computer behaves so slow (compared to all laptop I had before). It gives me a bad feeling. For that price I expect that all work seamlessly.

The start-up time takes 8-10 seconds (and I'm not the only one with this problem. (Check here).
Until I have for Windows/Linux, I need to wait for another 20 seconds.
Each application starts with a slight delay (~ 1 second).
Resizing of an application is a slow process.

My BIOS/drivers are up-to-date.
In Ubuntu (16.04, 64-bit):
-J' updated the kernel to 4.7.5 - 040705 (before that, I tried 4.5 and 4.6)
-the Nvidia driver is now on version 370.28 (before I tried also 361.45, 364.19 and 367.44 370.28)
In Windows (Pro 10, 64-bit), the same: the latest drivers are installed.

I thought that maybe there is a problem with the SSD, and you can read here my question. No response.

I really don't know what else to do.

  • Someone at - he already created an autoinst.iso for a minimal Ubuntu - 64 bit - bootable EFI?

    Someone at - he already created an autoinst.iso for a minimal Ubuntu - 64 bit - bootable EFI?


    I need a minimal installation of Ubuntu that starts from EFI and already started firmware to patch the WS11 created autoinst.iso to make it work for the MBR and the IEF.
    Not trivial... in order to cut some time... maybe someone has already done something similar and has a lot to build the iso with windows-binaries?

    Thanks Ulli

    First problem solved: got a bootable EFI autoinst.iso-, but use it creates new problems.
    Then, the installation fails to detect DFU... so it is clear that the preconfiguration file that creates a WS does not work as it is...

    No sense to continue what others - it is much simpler change iso original installation so that it installs silently.

  • LabVIEW for linux (Ubuntu 64-bit)

    University of Helsinki uses a centralized managed linux installation on all linux workstations.  The distribution is based on Ubuntu 9.10, and it is considering moving to 10.04 LTS.  Almost all of the facilities are 64-bit, only a few old machines (> 5 years of age) are still using 32-bit installation.

    In the Physics Department, there are about 500 machines and about 30% of those who are linux workstations.  We strive to get LabVIEW for Linux installed on our desktop, then run under Ubuntu 64-bit.

    1 problem (not a problem): For some strange reason, the installation media does not CD/DVD use normal files (iso9660) system, but the media is formatted with the file system "Mac OS X HDF +".  It works under linux, of course, but has been a source of mild confusion.  It would be wise to change the normal file system to the next version.

    2nd problem: The installation under Ubuntu does not work.  Namely:

    First I mount the media with the "mount-t hfsplus/dev/sr0/media/cdrom0" and try running the installation script
    CD/media/cdrom0/Linux/labview-2009
    sudo knew
    . / INSTALL

    Installation is not going smoothly.  According to the error message, the script is not found the library libbz2:

    / Media/cdrom0/Linux/LabVIEW-2009/bin/rpmq: error while loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.1: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

    However, the library is in standard place:
    $ ls/lib/libbz2 *.
    /lib/libbz2.so.1 /lib/libbz2.so.1.0 /lib/libbz2.so.1.0.4

    I know, "support of the distribution" list only include Mandriva, RedHat, and SUSE.  The version of LabVIEW is the latest version of the fall of 2009.  Does anyone have any ideas what to try next?

    see you soon,
    Pekko


  • control of noise at high ISO for 600 d

    What is the iso maximum 600 d supports without too much noise?

    Absolutely... actually lower ISO is better.

    Don't forget that if your subject is not mobile AND if your camera body is not mobile, then you can keep the shutter open as long as you want.    You really need to increase the ISO for moving subjects or for the shot at hand.

    F stops higher (f/11, f/16... or even f/22) will increase the "depth of field" so that your images contained more in short... before back when shooting landscapes.  There is a problem known as "diffraction", which can slightly soften an image taken at a very high f-stop SO really enlarge you your images and inspect closely... but especially you wont notice it in commonly used for display on a computer image sizes or anything that you do not plan to put them in a large frame and hang it on the wall.

    Hello

    I installed ubuntu 9.10 and now I want to install windows 7. But when I insert the cd and use the startup program, that I fell into the Windows 7 Installer. Then, I want to install and Windows tell me that it cannot be installed if the drive is not NTFS or something like that. Then who will help if I do like this:

Just delete the partition that has ubuntu installed on it, or just delete all partitions if you want... Then you can format the drive and create a new partition to install Windows on... If you can not do this as well better you start thinking your PC to someone who knows how.

    Sorry for the bad English.

    Is it really "sort of" loading ie 42% or which is a total failure?

    OK, I have a build that WORKED, now I see what you mean about watching build/deploy the VM guest.

    Here is the solution to my problem: our vcenter uses names with spaces, we also use the domain names for our connections. In addition, each admin password was 'special characters', that I've debugged meticulously by ALL of them and much more. Basically, it did not matter that I have "URL" code things, used new tools or edited different scripts to encode things one way or another.

    What finally gave us successes was to go to a 'clean' Vcenter implementation that

    (a) use/did not require a domain name (not / credentials)

    (b) all had the "BACK original' legal names, IE no spaces, no special characters, etc..

    (c) the passwords contained NO "special characters".

    (because I changed this way, 'URL' encoding didn't work, tried it)

    Moral of the story: building a new, simply configured Vcenter or get one and use it.

    (Note: I even downloaded a new ovftool and tried every way that I could but it did not success)
