I will keep trying until i can get my mom PC working back again but clearly without W OS. It is very unfortunate that the drivers are not compatible and I do not blame Ubuntu for this.Sony is notorious for having it’s own set of drivers that use proprietary software which is not available on Ubuntu …i been reading all across the web about all the compatibility issues with any kind of Linux / Ubunu OS with Sony laptops… Software component HP Compaq nc2400 HP Compaq nc4400 HP Compaq nc6320 HP Compaq nc6400 HP Compaq nc8430 HP Backup and Recovery Manager 1.1.2 B 1.1.5 B 1.1.0 B 1.1.3 B 1.1.2 B HP Mobile Print Driver for Windows 3.13 (Preloaded) 3.12 (Preloaded) 3.13 (Preloaded) 3.13 (Preloaded) 3.13 (Preloaded) HP ProtectTools Security Manager 2.
If you do run it, at least you know the hacks / work around’s to fix it. I would not really recommend running Ubuntu on the Sony Vaio models,until Ubuntu or Sony can address the major issues.
