HP Pavilion dv5-1000 Series

Hu,
I have HP Pavilion dv5t-1000 CTO with 9200 M graphic card 15.4 1200×800.
I try Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04 LTS 10.10 and Linux Mint 9, for all the only problem I have had is that it hung sometimes.

Just have a question regarding running Linux in general on a DV5, if you don't mind. I've got a smaller one (1164er, AMD Turion X2 RM-72, 2,1 Ghz) downgraded to Win XP (works … ok) and i'm curious about your experiences - if i'll be convinced i might change for Linux as well. I would go for ANY other system than vista, once i find a workable solution for a music recording system using an ext. audio-interface (don't know if i will get an upgrade to Win 7, if it's gonna work on this nb and don't know yet if i WANT to have it) - now here is my question:
Since this nb is originally equipped with Firewire, eSATA and Expresscard ports (mine, this being the main reason for me jumping on it) - aren't you also interested in checking out if the i/o's other than usb work on a Linux'd DV5? I can't find any blog regarding the non-USB ports on any non-Vista DV!
How do you work with your notebooks - are you all using USB only, or do you have some secret weapon there??…
I'm especially interested in getting Firewire and eSATA working since i found out that the usb ports on the HP's are of very poor technical performance, “there is still something that makes all USB ports get a virtual IRQ, which means that something else is occupying the real one so you get a fake one thats lesser priority” (writes sickVisionz on a HP-blog) - damned, i'd like to get the Firewire/ eSATA thing to be fixed somehow…
So, does anybody of you have any experience with the DV5-Firewire/ eSATA ports outside of Vista?
Guess otherwise i'm going to sell this nonsense machine;
i'm a musician, not a gamer.
Good luck for your work - and many thanks if someone has an idea on how to proceed!

hi. i just upgrade to windows 7 and i have a hp pavilion dv5 1000 us my control remote doesnt work… i think i need the drivers . how can i get them. thanks eury nunez

Guys, I’ve got dv5-1023 with IWL5100:

define@dv5-1023ea:~$ lspci | grep -i intel | grep -i network
02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN [Shiloh] Network Connection

I can’t get it work:
define@dv5-1023ea:~$ sudo modprobe -r iwlagn && sudo modprobe iwlagn

And my syslog shows this. The point is on this string:
iwlagn: Radio disabled by HW RF Kill switch

And I can’t turn my wireless on. It's always swithed off. Guys, how did you solve this problem? I use jaunty 64-bit with 2.6.28-11-generic kernel. Tried interpid, compiled gentoo, tried debian and suse all with 2.6.27 kernels. As I got it’s some kernel problem.

What can you say on the point?

Thanks Lilliverden for the suggestion. I made the suggested post-video change but it didn't fix my problem (though it did change it a bit I think–I need to test some more).

vaibhav, fwiw, I hate the touch pad on this thing. I'll admit I'm no huge fan of touchpads in general because I have a problem with accidentally touching them in ways that makes stuff screw up but this one is particularly troublesome for me. Interestingly it comes with an on off switch–as if HP knew the thing was problematic. But turning it on and off each time you need to type vs use the mouse is a big hassle. I'm not sure why this touch pad seems so much worse than others but I find it particularly problematic. It's my wife's computer and she has the same problem despite having last used a dell inspiron laptop with a touchpad (which she like and I also didn't like–though it wasn't half as bad as this one).

what are the details
we can ge through it if we buy te product .
can we get vista cd & recovery cd free from the company.

I've got the DV5t-1000. I installed Linux Mint Felicia (based on Ubuntu 8.1 Intrepid Ibix). Maybe I'm making some dumb mistake but the web cam doesn't seem to work. Neither suspend nor hibernate work. Everything else works great. If others are getting the webcam to work on this one I woudl love any pointers.

Hey
me again an update on stuff

I could wait for answers so i just went ahead installing Ubuntu 8.10
Results
Wireless = Works

HDMI = Works
First you activate Nvidia drivers, then you connect HDMI cable, then you open terminal and type “gksudo nvidia-settings” then you choose the settings you want( i choose Twinview and clone ) then apply, then save config. this was a hassle cause i could save the config file. tried sudo nvidia-setting, you could change, but not save the config, so when you restarted you had to do it all over again.

Surround Sound with Express-dock = works
You have to open the volume control and then choose settings, and enable IEC958 switches, then choose close, then choose the Switches tab, and enable IEC958

Bluetooth mouse and keyboard = works

Network cable = works full speed 1000 mbit

Notice = when having mkv file playback there is a lot of jagged lines, almost like interlaced… any suggestions?

Sorry for my terrible English

Hey

Many questions

I purchased a HP Pavillion dv5-1000us in aug of 2008 for school. Model i have has the intel x4500hd wifi sound all work and i get 1280×800 on the 15.4 display though im stuck at 4:3 and 1024×768 with my acer 16:10 20 inch lcd. Im running ubuntu 32 bit ver 8.10 with a 2.6.27 kernel.

I have a HP Pavilion dv5 (1075er). The latest Ubuntu 8.10, with all updates, works very well on it with noticeable exception of resume from suspend being broken, although hibernate does work. There is a bug report for this:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/301353

The installation of Ubuntu will be easiest if you do it connected to the Internet via an Ethernet cable; video, sound (and volumes), web cam, hot keys, card reader, touch pad, etc.. will all be detected and functioning.

I haven't tried the HDMI or eSATA connections.

I bought this laptop, it also worked out of the box with Kubuntu 8.10 (linux kernel 2.6.27). WebCam works, sound works, wireless works, kde 4.1 works

Opensuse 11

This notebook work out of the box. I wiped the disk and installed Opensuse. I do not dual boot, so be careful if you need Vista. The notebook don't ship with media, it is all on the hard driver for recovery.

Got some issues with kde4.1 and nvidia. But this seems to be an nvidia driver issue and hopefully be fixed in the near future. You can turn desktop effects off, to get past the nvidia driver problems.

The HP WebCam works !!!!! :)

The only thing that does not work yet is the wireless stuff. But this is also claimed to be working in the new 2.6.27 branch. Opensuse is on 2.6.25

I love my HP……
