Request for advise - Kubuntu 24.04 LTS & Libreboot at HP EliteBook 2570p.

 From Bas Roufs in The Netherlands, 7 November 2024, for: + «Kubuntu 
Help and Users Discussions», kubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com

+ Libreboot at Reddit and directly by e-mail. Hello Everybody.

Ever since about one month, I am wrestling with difficulties to get 
installed Kubuntu 24.04.1 LTS at a refurbished HP EliteBook 2570p 
Notebook PC -along with 960 GB SSD and 16 GB RAM. The company who sells 
it, delivers it together with Windows 10 -an OS I do not want to use. 
That's why, I do want to install Kubuntu 24.04.1 LTS at it.

A core issue is a bad interaction between a fresh install of this OS and 
the "system bios" firmware of this device. Even after installing the OS, 
the "system bios" does not "see" it. It keeps prompting for the 
installation of an OS.

I still do want to get installed at this laptop Kubuntu 24.04.1. LTS. 
However, at some point, I also want to replace the firmware system bios 
by "Libreboot", which is reportedly perfectly possible at the HP 
EliteBook 2570p.
