Ubuntu on HP Models. Desktops; Laptops; Servers; Ubuntu Core; Release: Ubuntu image: Canonical works closely with HP to certify Ubuntu on a range of their hardware. The following are all certified. More and more devices are being added with each release, so don't forget to check this page regularly. What works: It's awesome. My first exposure for Linux mint is really great. In just a matter of 1 hour, I have tried lots of applications. Getting photos and data from my iPhone 4S is really easy.

I have a HP Pavilion G7 Notebook computer and when I use ubuntu it starts up fine, and then when I get in I can't connect to wifi. I know the problem because it says something like 'disconnected by hardware switch.' I tried to turn on my hardware switch but it doesn't want to turn on (it is a button that is supposed to shine a blue light to show that it is on, but it shines a orange light which means it is off).

You can try using the following command in terminal; rfkill unblock wifi. After that turn off your wifi switch and then back on. If that doesn't work, go to the network setting in the upper right corner of your screen with the notification icons. unenable the networking and do the command 'rfkill unblock wifi', after that renable the networking.
Michael ScottMichael ScottSir try following this link. Your Wifi has probably been blacklisted by Ubuntu. I am not sure why they allow this, but they have given us the solution. See here for more details.

Can someone help me?Edit: For the command: lspci grep Network, I get the following message:
When i follow the following steps (from the above link), there are a NO error message at all: 1. Open the 'Ubuntu Software Centre' and search for bcm 2. Uninstall the bcm-kernel-source package 3. Make sure that the firmware-b43-installer and the b43-fwcutter packages are installed
Then, type into terminal:

put a # in front of the line: blacklist bcm43xxthen save the file (I was getting error messages in the terminal about not being able to save, but it actually did save properly).reboot 'End of procedure'Before (not Ubuntu 11.04), if I wanted to connect wireless, I just went to the icon at the upper side of the screen, click, showed ALL the wireless network available, and done.
