No Graphics drivers on Lenovo L15

Post by Ziuma »

Hello everybody, yesterday I installed Linux Mint "Uma" 64 bits. I have several problems with the drivers, I was able to get the wi fi and ethernet drivers but not the graphics driver.

I am new to Linux Mint (to the Linux "world"), when I connect the monitor to the notebook I do not receive signal is it because of this?

Re: No Graphics drivers on Lenovo L15

Post by Hoser Rob »

Intel drivers come with the kernel, they don't do closed video drivers like you'd find in driver manager. You may see something like intel-microcode in DM but that's not a driver. You're running a 5.4 series kernel.

And your reported BIOS date is 06/21/2021. Unless you've updated the BIOS that's a pretty new box.

If so try going to update manager > view > view kernels and install the newest 5.11 series. Then reboot.
o
N.B. if that kernel doesn't work properly, reboot and hold down the left Shift key to bring up the grub menu. Scroll down to find the last kernel to boot from and continue booting. Then use update manager to delete the new kernel. But I don't expect problems here.
For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong - H. L. Mencken
