    Internet keeps dropping out

    Only time will tell. OK... I'll reboot it now. I hope my internet will still be working afterwards.

    Internet keeps dropping out

    I think I've fixed it. I typed sudo modprobe -r ath10k_pci into the terminal and that seems to have done it. Apparently this reset the in-tree driver (not sure what that is - a built-in driver, I suppose?) I'm not sure why the in-tree driver would have suddenly stopped working for no reason in...

    Internet keeps dropping out

    It can't be a problem with the router. The internet is working on Windows.

    Internet keeps dropping out

    To be honest, the solutions in that thread are too complicated for me to understand. I don't have expert-level IT knowledge. I'm just an average Joe who wants an operating system that's better than Windows. I take it that the top solution in that thread doesn't apply to me, since they're...

    Internet keeps dropping out

    That didn't work, unfortunately.

    Internet keeps dropping out

    Quick start and secure boot are still disabled. So, just to be clear, do you want me to hold down the power button to turn off the computer, or turn off the computer then hold down the power button to turn it on?

    Internet keeps dropping out

    Hello So, I got Ubuntu 22.04 back in October. Everything was working fine for a while but all of a sudden, in January, I started having problems with my internet connection. I could still use the internet, but it kept going offline and I had to keep reconnecting. It got to the point where I...

    I can't install Linux on my laptop

    Hello, everyone. I'm typing this comment from my wonderful new Linux OS. The problem was indeed that I needed to upgrade my BIOS. Thank you all for your help.

    I can't install Linux on my laptop

    No. If you actually type in the serial number or the model it just comes up with links to pages that have nothing to do with drivers.

    I can't install Linux on my laptop

    Still doesn't work. Could it be that I need to update my BIOS to a newer version? The version I have is INSYDE Corp. V1.00, apparently. I'm not sure where to download newer versions from, if that is indeed what I need to do. Various sites tell me I need to go to the 'drivers and manuals' page on...

    I can't install Linux on my laptop

    I didn't test the USB drive. I tested the iso file in my downloads folder (before burning). How do I test the file after it has been burned? Update: I've just booted both ubuntu 22.04 and XM-AHS from my USBs on the other laptop (the old one), so it can't be a problem with the USBs or iso files.

    I can't install Linux on my laptop

    Hello again everyone. I have done the checksums process on the MX-AHS iso file. (I wanted to do it on the ubuntu iso, but it was too large to fit on my USB and transfer to the other computer). I downloaded gtkhash and used it to carry out the process. The checksums do not match. So what does...

    I can't install Linux on my laptop

    No. I haven't managed to get into the desktop. OK. I've disabled fast boot in windows and done a restart now (used the restart button rather than just turning it off and on again - is that what you mean?) and it still doesn't work. I have just read about how to do the checksum process using...

    I can't install Linux on my laptop

    I don't know what that means. How can I tell? I disabled fast boot in the BIOS. Should I disable it on Windows as well? I used Balenaetcher. I didn't check the sum (don't know how). Nor did I check the sum for the iso file when I downloaded it. I've heard that you're supposed to do that, but I...

    I can't install Linux on my laptop

    I tried installing MX-21 AHS from my USB and it didn't work. I got exactly the same problem.

    I can't install Linux on my laptop

    So, do linux distros normally come with drivers for every make of CPU, except the latest ones? splurge? Thank you. That's exactly the same problem. Shame that they haven't managed to resolve it either.

    I can't install Linux on my laptop

    The same as when I use the DVD. I get to the boot screen (the GRUB screen, I think). I select 'try or install Ubuntu'. The screen goes black then it just takes me back to the GRUB screen. Before I changed the boot order, it took me into Windows 11. Yes. I did all those things. Shrunk the...

    I can't install Linux on my laptop

    Acer Aspire 5 15 CPU: AMD Ryzen 7000 Graphics card: AMD Radeon I have disabled both secure boot and quick boot. Just to be clear, I haven't actually installed the OS yet.
