I put it back in box for 2 days deciding to bring it back. Then suddenly tonight decided to have one more crack. Read through some of the pages that seemed overly complex a few days ago.
First, edited Grub file (a first) and now new LL3.4 installation boots up - fast.
To effect this, altered a line using 'e' after ESC during bootup, to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="modprobe.blacklist=i2c_hid"
(from page: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/v3_1...958/page/2 )
The Touchscreen doesn't work (which is fine for now)
This time the network/internet is not working well at all. Intermittent.
I used this page to tune up my current (dying) HP which was also intermittent:
lenovo yoga 710 internet problems.
I have a Realtek on that laptop and decided to take a chance since it's dying anyway. It made a huge difference.
But the new Lenovo 710 is not Realtek (I don't think).
It is a Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac.
After that on the lspci readout:
Unassigned Class: [ff00] Realtek Semiconductor RTS5229 PCI Express Card Reader.
I will try to post the lspci output, but the new laptop is busy very slowly downloading Chrome and until finished and set up over there cannot access that output.
I am hoping for help to get this connection working properly. Hopefully now the booting issues are resolved, even if the graphics situation cannot improve much until there are chip updates in a week or so, if I can get a solid connection then will be willing to work with the new machine, which I like.
And I LOVE the way LL looks on this much nicer screen resolution.
