Wireless not found

#1 Post by tmgfigueiredo »

I everyone. Since my first trial a couple years ago I'm back for another try!

I have bought a new laptop, and here I go again for MX linux dual boot with Windows.
So far looks ok, except that I'm unable to connect wireless. Don't know why, but when I go to network connections, there isn't any wireless connection. Any idea?

Thanks.

We need your computer’s complete profile before we can diagnose a problem like this so you need to post the output from the QSI utility. The Quick System Info (QSI) utility is located in MX Tools and its output is automatically formatted for use here in the forum. All you have to do after running QSI is click ‘paste’ here in a new post in your thread.

HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

Till you post the QSI: Disable "Fast Startup" in Windows and disable "secure boot" in Bios settings.

The secure boot is already disabled. But didn't disabled the fast Startup.
But since windows isn't booted, how can affect the wireless in MX?

Because with Fast Startup enabled, Windows doesn't completely shut down and some services like hard drive access are always on.

You can install 5.19 kernel from "MX Package Installer" - "Popular Apps" tab with 2 clicks, reboot and try.

(That one already requires 5.14 + kernels)


It may also help this:

If you like, you can try AHS release, or turn this one into AHS. But in all cases install that most recent kernel (at least till 6.0 is there).

Though your question was not about graphics: You don't have nomodeset etc. in your boot parameters to cause that "vesa", so, an xorg.conf may be causing that:

Code: Select all

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Reboot.

12th gen Intel hardware requires the AHS packages and a newer kernel. No doubt about it.

AHS should be the default ISO for new laptops like the OP mentioned buying. If they want to download and test it in a live Session, everything should work out of the box. They could reinstall AHS and save their home folder, or just add the ahs section of our repo, upgrade everything that's upgradeable, then add a newer 5.18/5.19 kernel and install "linux-firmware" to match the newer kernel (which will remove a lot of older firmware packages, don't worry, that's by design).

That also seems to be an Optimus laptop, so they should read up on how to use PRIME GPU switching in MX 21 after using the MX Nvidia Installer after updating to AHS. Like so, with this Dell:

Code: Select all

nvidia-run-mx inxi -G

Graphics:  Device-1: NVIDIA GA107M [GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile] driver: nvidia v: 510.85.02 
           Device-2: AMD Cezanne driver: amdgpu v: kernel 
           Device-3: Microdia Integrated_Webcam_HD type: USB driver: uvcvideo 
           Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.14 driver: loaded: amdgpu resolution: 1920x1080~120Hz 
           OpenGL: renderer: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 510.85.02 

I am rebuilding the Sid 6.0.2 kernel for MX 21 right now, BTW.

So far, so good. :crossfingers:
