[size=1em]From a thread about Legacy boot versus new method:
First, edited Grub file (a first) and now new LL3.4 installation boots up - fast. To effect this, altered a line using instructionsGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="modprobe.blacklist=i2c_hid"(from page: [color=rgb(51, 68, 102)]https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/v3_1...958/page/2[/color][/size] )
Boots great now.The Touchscreen doesn't work (which is fine for now)The network/internet is not working well. Intermittent connection, often disconnects.
The panel items are strange too, sometimes when connected not showing any wifi connections (I only have wifi here), sometimes refusing to show the only one which works. Also showing 5 bars even when no activity possible.
I used this page to tune up my current (dying) HP which was also intermittent:https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/insta...connects)/
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.
