Wifi not working on lenovo legion

[panqueinthebox]

Hello everybody I installed Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon in my Lenovo legion Y530-15ICH and I can not connect to internet because it doesn't detect any internet connexion. How could I resolve this problem? I tried to install controllers from my bootable USB but it doesn't work, i got the message "failed to dowload repository information"

Thanks for you help

Hello, panqueinthebox.

To start with, please, give us a concise report on your hardware and on how Mint sees it. I.e. please, post a complete inxi -Fxz report.

Here is how to generate the report on post it:

• Open a terminal window. Make it fullscreen to avoid unneeded linebreaks or chopped lines.
• Execute the command

  Code: Select all

  inxi -Fxz

  exactly as it has been typed here.
• Mark the complete text output which inxi -Fxz will display with your mouse.
• Press the keyboard shortcut <Shift><Ctrl>C to copy the marked text into the clipboard.
• Paste it into your next reply.

Best regards,
Karl

Hi again, I tried your solution but I had this message -sorry but my computer was configured in spanish- :

Do

Code: Select all

echo "blacklist ideapad-laptop" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ideapad-laptop.conf

reboot and do

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git dkms build-essential
git clone https://github.com/jeremyb31/ideapad-laptop.git
sudo dkms add ./ideapad-laptop
sudo dkms install ideapad-laptop/1.0
sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/ideapad-laptop.conf

[panqueinthebox]

Nice, it works correctly now. Thank you so much!

[JeremyB]

Please edit the first post in the thread to add solved to the subject

[jungle_boy]

I am happy to know that the Lenovo Legion Y530 works with Linux mint, so I plan to buy this laptop.
@panqueinthebox, tell me, does keyboard lighting work fine on Linux Mint? Sorry for the topic out of the subject.

[LFengineer]

This solution worked perfectly for my Lenovo Miix 510. I did have to turn of secure boot in the BIOS.

Thanks for the knowledge base!

[LFengineer]

This fix did work to resolve the WIFI not working, until I restarted the computer. I verified that I did it correctly so I did try the solution again and it did work to regain WIFI functionality. But then when I restarted it was gone again. Is there a way to make this change permanent?

[JeremyB]

Try echo "options ideapad_laptop override_has_hw_rfkill_switch=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ideapad_laptop.conf and reboot

[LFengineer]

That did the trick and it stays after rebooting!

If I am looking at this correct, this set the rfkill switch to off at =0, correct? Sorry, I'm not much for programming.

Thank you for the assistance.

[JeremyB]

Yes, this was a custom patch from a person named ryuo on IRC as the kernel has a quirks list that only names so many models to ignore the rfkill info on some Lenovo laptops
