Laptop wifi and sound AWOL with Debian Buster.

#1 Post by globetrotterdk »

I just purchased a Lenovo Legion 5i laptop that I am trying to get sorted out with a Debian Buster KDE Plasma minimal netinstall. Here is all of the output that I have:

Network and sound are the current issues, but it is probable that there may be other issues that I have yet to discover. In such a case, if you notice something, please give a shout.

Hmm. Interestingly, I am don't see a wifi nic listed, nor are there any specifics on audio device-1.

According to this posting https://www.reddit.com/r/Lenovo/comment ... from_wifi/, I would assume that I also have an Intel ax201 wireless card. The wireless works with Fedora 33 and Solus 4.1, but again having difficulty figuring out what the driver is. I have tried:

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt install firmware-iwlwifi
, but still nothing...

The AX201 needs the kernel & iwl firmware from the buster-backports repository. You might also need firmware-misc-nonfree from there for your sound card.

Wow. That is great. Thanks. I will give that a try.

globetrotterdk - any luck with audio?

I have a Lenovo T14 Gen1 (Intel) and had a similar issues following 10.8.0 install. As recommended above, I was able to fix the WIFI by installing the kernel and firmware from buster-backports.

Code: Select all

apt install -t buster-backports linux-image-amd64 linux-headers-amd64 firmware-iwlwifi firmware-linux-free firmware-linux-nonfree firmware-misc-nonfree
Just make sure you add buster-backports and contrib non-free to /etc/apt/sources.list.

However, I have been unsuccessful in fixing the audio. aplay -l output indicated no soundcards. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Is it supposed to run that discrete nvidia card at all times instead of switching between integrated and discrete?

BTW, currently there is no way to get a tenth gen Intel GPU to work even with buster-backports, so maybe that's why it doesn't show up...
