Hello all,

I have problems recently with my Mini desktop HP PC
HP Elitedesk 800 G6

Is this hardware certified for this OS?

Any ideas, thanks
Alex

If you provide your specific model's specifications, someone here ought to be able to give some guidance. Major PC maker model numbers are usually class or category numbers, not specific model numbers with specific CPU or specific RAM or specific GPU or specific NIC or specific WAN, etc. that indicate whether hardware has Linux support or not. In general, if it's old enough, it's supported.

What specific problems do you have, with what OS and version installed?

yes, this model would be more than adequate for Neon.

This, as I said is a Mini dektop PC, the model is HP EliteDesk 800 G6, 16 GBRAM, 512 GB Storage. Intel i9 CPU.
I am running on it KDE Neon Plasma .26.4, the latest update I know of. Kernel 5.15.0-56-generic.

The specific problem, based on a lot of searches is that the machine Power Management fails to satisfy the KDE testing at boot time. Please see attached image

I contacted HP support, that ignored my saying that it worked OK until about a month ago....

Are you actually experiencing trouble, or is it just bothering you to see ACPI errors among boot messages? If yes, what trouble? Practically everybody encounters ACPI errors during boot.

Timothy Miller · 12-19-2022, 11:22 PM

ACPI errors are pretty common. For the MOST PART, they can be ignored.

Well, I would have ignored it too, but :

My rsync backup didn't execute for 54 days, it was running like a clock at the required time and I just found out and started looking around. Nothing I tried worked. So, I reinstalled the OS

Shortly after, Keyboard action was gone, then no other choice, pushed the power button to turn it off, after that it didn't start again, so, just reinstalled the OS - I am writing now this message and am unsure, what next...

Thanks again

User edition, or Testing edition? IME, Testing is prone to trouble, as when running an alpha distro version.

I am NOT one that experiments, I am using whatever comes from KDE as a stable OS ONLY
