Linux Mint Forums

So, I looked at the link you sent. I went to the section you suggested. And everything in that section I have already done.

Now, in a display of absolute mockery of a true fan ( ), you give me lines of code without context. You should be ( ).

Please keep in mind, I tried "Compatibility Mode". I got the same result.

My wife doesn't give a hoot what OS she is using, as long as she can watch her HBOMax & Amazon Prime.

My system isn't freezing. It is failing to boot from a live USB.

I know, for a fact this is not an ISO problem. The reason I know that is I have several ISO's laying around, and they all give the same problem. It's a native hardware/kernel issue.

So, to continue this...

These are the in-process results...
And, this is the end result:

My wife's Windows laptop has stopped functioning. She asked me to fix it: I hate Windows. Here we are. I finally managed to get my wife's IdeaPad S145-15IWL to Live Boot the USB( what a chore THAT was, go figure). I wish that would have been the end of my travels, but alas... 1.jpg 1.jpg 1.jpg For s...

So, thank you to all who participated in this thread. There were a few different ideas/advice given in this thread, so I want to clarify what worked for me. Update Manager was not populating "mint-upgrade-info". In Terminal: sudo apt install mint-upgrade-info Reboot system>open Update Mana...

Okay, I installed mint-update-info, rebooted, and now I can update. Big thanks!!!!

Is there a workaround through the CLI?

I already did that before posting here, but I did it again. Terminal returns no errors, and update manager is not changed.

Okay. I am 85%-90% certain I broke my install. I tried to hook up to ethernet and my system did not recognize any connection. And, I believe I know how I broke my install. First, I fixed the situation by doing a fresh install over the last one. Everything now works fine. Here's how I broke it, so ot...

I tried before creating this post.

Ok. I did it the right way. Dummy me. That code put the line "blacklist ideapad-laptop" in the .conf file.

Then I reboot, and my wifi is still doing the same thing.

I entered kiluma@kiluma:~$ echo "blacklist ideapad-laptop" and it gave me blacklist ideapad-laptop . Then, I entered kiluma@kiluma:~$ sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ideapad-laptop.conf [sudo] password for kiluma: xxxxxxxxxx and it gave me a blinking cursor. I pulled up the process tree to see if...

I have a Lenovo laptop also and fought for weeks for a solution...but it was an easy fix. 1. Add "blacklist ideapad_laptop" to a file you create named .conf file in /etc/modprobe.d 2. Shut down laptop. Unplug the power and network cable for 30+ seconds. 3. Replug the power and boot withou...

I did. It did not work.
