(Discuss in Talk:Laptop/HP) HP has historically not only not been friendly towards Linux, but has gone out of its way to make systems incompatible with operating systems other than Microsoft Windows. One example is whitelists which are embedded into the BIOS of some devices. Any component model that is not listed in the whitelist is rejected by the BIOS. These whitelists are barely acknowledged by HP, and are not officially documented anywhere, making replacing components with anything other than exactly the same model a shot in the dark. Although HP has published some printer drivers for Linux, the company generally makes very little or no effort to ensure that components used in its desktop and laptop computers are compatible with Linux. The official Linux support page is geared toward dissuading the use of Linux, and generally full of strange statements like "Windows is not installed with Linux", which conflates operating system software with any other software. To the extent that HP shows no interest in supporting Linux, the Linux community may reasonably take a reciprocal position of not supporting HP. Generally it is easiest to avoid HP when seeking out hardware that interoperates with Linux. Nevertheless, the Linux community has successfully worked out methods for installing and maintaining Linux on some HP systems. Model List
TroubleshootingUEFI bootloader not foundNote: Make sure you have the latest HP UEFI firmware installed. Even if UEFI, Arch Linux and (e.g.) GRUB are correctly configured and with the correct UEFI NVRAM variables set, the system may not boot from the HDD/SSD. The problem is that HP hard coded the paths for the OS boot manager in their UEFI boot manager to \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi to boot Microsoft Windows, regardless of how the UEFI NVRAM variables are changed. There are two workarounds: Using the "Customized Boot" path option (recommended, may not be available for all models)The latest HP firmware allows defining a Customized Boot path in the UEFI pre-boot graphical environment. Select the Customized Boot option in the UEFI pre-boot graphical environment under Boot Options and set the path to your OS boot loader on the ESP (see EFI system partition), e.g.: \EFI\grub\grubx64.efi Always verify the correct path to the .efi file. Also, adjust the device boot order (also in the UEFI pre-boot graphical environment) to boot this entry first. Change the OS boot loader path to match the hard coded pathWarning: If you are trying to boot on a the mSATA port (m.2 SSD), this is the only working method. Warning: This method is not recommended, as it will create conflicts in a dual boot setup with Microsoft Windows. Also, everytime you install GRUB, you have to remember to copy it to the hard coded path. Change the UEFI application path of the OS boot loader to that hard coded path. On your ESP (see EFI system partition; e.g. with the $MOUNTPOINT /boot/efi), do (e.g. with GRUB entry grub_archlinux): # mkdir -p $MOUNTPOINT/EFI/Microsoft/Boot # cp $MOUNTPOINT/EFI/grub/grubx64.efi $MOUNTPOINT/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efior # mkdir -p $MOUNTPOINT/EFI/Boot # cp $MOUNTPOINT/EFI/grub/grubx64.efi $MOUNTPOINT/EFI/Boot/Bootx64.efiFan noiseSince Linux 4.1x laptop's fan may not spin down to a lower rev step (and noise) effectively appearing stuck at higher spinning speed with no apparent temperature reason. Possible workarounds are loading a 3D application, a quick suspend to ram or power off for more than 10 minutes. If those tricks do not work, the max CPU frequency can be set to a lower one. See CPU frequency scaling#Setting maximum and minimum frequencies. Related: [3] [4] HP Compaq 8510wFollow the steps outlined in Suspend and hibernate#Hibernation. The suspend to disk process works correctly but the laptop does not power itself off. To fix this create the following file: /etc/systemd/system/sleep.conf[Sleep] HibernateMode=shutdownThis file tells systemd to write shutdown instead of platform to /sys/power/disk before writing disk to /sys/power/state. HP Compaq nc8000Install TLP if suspend to ram fails. HP Pavilion au624txFor making mute led work, create the following file: /etc/modprobe.d/mute.confoptions snd-hda-intel model=alc295-hp-x360HP Omen 15 ax210TXMute LEDFor making the mute LED work, append model=hp-mute-led-mic3 to snd-hda-intel's kernel module options.
