Lenovo yoga 13 intermittant wifi problem
Ive installed variuos versions of linux in an attempt to get this laptop working and eventully settled on Elementary 0.3.2 Freya(64-bit)
It turns out that my problem went away out of pure chance. after living with the install for a while and doing some research it seems the issue is linux(or debian based) Basicly wireless stops working interittantly. and so does the touchpad. The touchpad I have a workaround(go into and out off hibanate) The problem with the wireless doesnt seem to work that way. Basicly after I boot up randomly my wireless isnt working. To define, its active, can see hotspots, but always fails to connect after taking forever to authenticate. a reboot /power off DOES NOT resolve the issue. Disable/enable does not resolve the issue. booting into another OS does NOT resolve the issue, however after a while it just "goes away" when I next boot. Apparently this can be fixed as here:- https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDe...2013%20(Wheezy) but im stuck at the first command apparently im supposed to modify it by changing my "arch". I ran arch at the cli (I assumed thats what you had to do as it isnt explained) and it came back with x86_64. replacing amd64 with this "unable to locate package" |
I have a bunch of dmesg info how do i attach ?
|
marli,
x86_64 is amd64. What command you are issuing and what is the error. |
https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDe...20%28Wheezy%29
sudo apt-get install git-core build-essential linux-headers-amd64 fails, so does sudo apt-get install git-core build-essential linux-headers-x86_64 not in front off my laptop right now To make it clear this problem follows me to other live CDs, |

Ok so thought I had a workaround... But I don't.
I plugged in a wifi USB adapter and it brought the onboard adapter back to life. This is now not working. Nor can I use that adapter either. Linux identifies the onboard as : Realtek 802.11n WLAN Adapt It identifies the USB one as: Realtek Netgear WNA3100M As this laptop does not have a wired port I'm pretty stuffed at the moment as without wireless apt-get won't work. |
Wow.... Now working!
Testing in progress. Reboot with USB plugged in... Touchpad not working.. Touchscreen ok. And it connects.... Removed USB... Disconnected Plugged it back in again.. Won't reconnect.... Also slingshot-launcher crashed... Not sure what that is. OK.. Reboot with both nw cards again... Conmects.... Remove USB... (should disconmect) it does. Tried connecting(asks twice for wifi key then eventually fails) .... Placed the USB back on and reboot. Boom.. Connects.. Confirmed workaround. Removed... Rebooted.. Tried to connect..fails again. Edit connections.. Delete all connections Put USB back in.. Rebooted.. Removed USB Tried to connect.. Fails. |
OK slight confusion its just the external card working.
|
so if i try
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core build-essential linux-headers-amd64Code:
Reading package lists... DoneCode:
marli@lego:~$ sudo apt-get install git-core build-essential linux-headers-x86_64 |
What is the PCI ID of onboard Realtek?
|

Tried lspci...only controllers listed. Pretty difficult doing research without internet. Also problem seems to apply to other wireless card.
|
So all devices are Intel corporation
Dram controller Graphic USB xhci Mein USB enhanced host High definition audio USB enhanced host Location Data Smbus Typed by hand as is don't have internet |
So moved to linux mint in the hope that would resolved the problem.
Ha... Linux Mint 17.2 "Rafaela" Xfce Edition(x64) same issue. Even down to the second wifi card stopping working if unplugged. updated mint...failed to resolve. updeated kernal from 3.16.0-38(3.16.7-ckr10) to 4.4.0.36.....failed to resolve found out lsusb lists the device Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:0129 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTS5129 Card Reader Controller ........again no idea how to get this to work....or the touchpad |
