[VGLUG] Wifi is not working with Ubuntu/Mint 18.04 on Lenovo Yoga 730

[Nilnandan Joshi]

Hi Everyone, 

Recently, I've purchased Lenovo Yoga 730. I've installed Ubuntu as a dual boot but unfortunately wifi is not working or detecting with it. Even Ubuntu is getting hang frequently. I've installed mint and hang issue gone but wifi is not even working there. 

Any help will be appreciated. 

Thanks and Regards,

HI

can you check the below solution.

There is a module called "ideapad_laptop" that prevents the wifi module to start.

 

A good workaround is to disable that module by blacklisting it.

 

Make a new file for your personal blacklist

$ sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/myownblacklist.conf

 and add an entry for the module

blacklist ideapad_laptop

 

reboot and you are good to go!

 

 

To only disable the module without blacklisting it, do that:

sudo modprobe -r ideapad_laptop

Hi Sham, 

Thanks for the reply but it didn't solve problem. 

Issue was with realtek wifi driver for rtl8822be. 

which was solved by installing latest driver from
