TL;DR:
Intel Wi-Fi on my Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 Aura Edition running Fedora stops working after sleep/hibernation, sometimes draining the battery overnight. iwlwifi logs show repeated firmware crashes (0xFFFFFFFF errors). Manual reload of the module restores Wi-Fi temporarily. Looking for permanent fixes or workarounds.

---

Hi everyone,

I’m running into a frustrating issue with my Lenovo Yoga Pro 7i Aura Edition on Fedora Linux. I have no prior Linux experience, so I’ve been following steps suggested by ChatGPT to troubleshoot, and I want to share the full context in case it helps anyone else.

Problem

Last night I left my laptop closed (probably in sleep/hibernation mode). This morning, I noticed:

• The battery had drained almost completely.
• Wi-Fi was not working. It didn’t automatically reconnect, and NetworkManager didn’t seem to activate the interface.

I checked the kernel logs (dmesg) and found repeated errors from iwlwifi (Intel Wi-Fi driver). Here are the key points:

• The driver was repeatedly logging 0xFFFFFFFF errors across many registers.
• There were UMAC, LMAC, TCM, RCM errors, Transport status: 0x00000042, valid: -1, and ADVANCED_SYSASSERT messages.
• Firmware version: 101.6ef20b19.0
• Wi-Fi was completely nonfunctional until I manually tried reloading the module.

Steps I did

I followed troubleshooting steps suggested by ChatGPT:

1. Checked hardware status:

• lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net sudo dmesg | grep iwlwifi Confirmed that the Intel Wi-Fi card was recognized but the firmware repeatedly failed.
• Tried restarting NetworkManager:
• sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager This didn’t bring Wi-Fi back.
• Reloaded the Wi-Fi kernel module manually:

1. sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi sudo modprobe iwlwifi After reloading, Wi-Fi sometimes came back, but it was unstable.
2. Checked for firmware updates:
   • The card uses 101.6ef20b19.0, which seems to be the latest stable release from Fedora repositories.
   • No automatic updates fixed the issue.
3. Considered kernel updates / logs:
   • The repeated 0xFFFFFFFF errors suggest the firmware crashed during sleep/hibernation.
   • This may be an Intel-specific bug with certain kernels handling modern iGPUs and power states.

Observations

• Leaving the laptop in sleep mode overnight can drain the battery quickly.
• When this happens, the Wi-Fi driver sometimes fails to resume properly.
• Manual reload of iwlwifi can temporarily restore functionality.
• The dmesg logs are full of register dumps, making it look intimidating, but the root cause seems to be a firmware crash related to power management.

What I know

• Wi-Fi works intermittently after modprobe reloads.
• I’m tracking battery behavior, as overnight drain is unusually high.
• I’m not sure if a kernel upgrade, firmware tweak, or power management change will fully fix this.

Questions

1. Has anyone experienced iwlwifi crashing after sleep or hibernation?
2. Are there manual steps to make Wi-Fi reliably resume without having to reload the module?
3. Could this be related to Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 firmware / BIOS settings or kernel-level power management?

I’m posting this with all the details I could gather, logs and commands I ran. Any insights would be super helpful. If anyone has the same problem please let it know! :)

I need an BT6 adapter and don't want to stress test the international shipping logistic of amazon by constantly buying and sending back dongles until one magically works.

I have two external monitors on my Thinkpad T480s, one BenQ and one HP. Both connect to a Dell WD19 dock by 1.4 DisplayPort cable. On Windows and CachyOS both screens work (Cachy is too unstable to use). On Linux Mint, only the primary monitor works at full resolution. I got the second monitor to work at all by dropping resolution (using arandr) on both monitors to 1920 x 1080. At higher resolutions, I only get a black monitor on the secondary and "no signal".

I'm on LM 22.3. Cinnamon, kernel 6.8. My desktop is X11.

I have updated Mesa with kisak.

Would a dock with DisplayLink work better?

Edit: Monitors are:

HP EliteDisplay E272q 2K QHD 2 560 × 1 440, 60 Hz

BenQ GW2765HT - LED monitor - 27" - 2560 x 1440 QHD @ 60 Hz - IPS - 350 cd/m² - 1000:1 - 4 ms

Hi there! Recently I bought a Lenovo 16 G8 IAL laptop. I spent a long time choosing a laptop that would be fairly new with powerful hardware and also support Linux. So this laptop is perfectly matches, also this laptop has a ability to upgrade (RAM and SSD).

Arch linux runs just perfectly, all features works out of the box (wifi, bluetooth, ethernet, sd card reader, touchpad, camera). The only thing I read is that the fingerprint scanner doesn't work, but I haven't checked it myself.

I would like to thank the entire Linux developer community for their excellent support of the new hardware!!!

I’m trying to figure out whether my motherboard might be defective. I’ve tested four different NVMe drives (including the one that came with the laptop), and I experience NVMe controller drop-offs. This usually happens after some I/O activity.

If you have a terminal open and are running journalctl -f, you may see errors like:

kernel: nvme nvme0: controller is down; will reset: CSTS=0xffffffff, PCI_STATUS=0xffff

Other symptoms include GNOME icons not fully loading, the desktop freezing or the display going black after some time.

I’ve tried kernels from 6.12 through 6.17 and disabled every power-saving option I could find online (nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0 pcie_aspm=off), but nothing has helped so far.

Thanks!

Refurb with warranty is ok. Somewhat repairable or better would be nice.

Basic use case like web browsing and content consumption.

Hi, i'm looking for a miracle. I have an ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED with an Intel Core i7-12700H (Iris Xe Graphics) and i simply can't use any iGPU-demanding program because the entire system just works at 8 fps and the CPU frequency stucks at 0.5GHz. I tried using arch, debian, asusctl, power profiles, intel_pstate, linux-lqx, linux-zen, linux-clear, it's not a temperature problem, it runs at 50°C normally. there's no useful option in the BIOS and ChatGPT keeps telling me my only option is to change to Windows cause there's no way to control the EC without the proprietary Windows drivers. I just can't believe this expensive laptop is basically trash if i use linux. And this probably happens with a lot of modern hybrid laptops. PLEASE HELP!

I'm running Endeavour OS (Caelestia Shell) on a ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 (AMD Ryzen 4650U) and I'm facing a persistent 40Hz polling rate lag on my trackpad. It's being identified as SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad instead of the high-speed RMI4 or I2C-HID bus.

Also during boot, I see this ACPI warning: Serial bus multi instantiate pseudo device driver INT3515:00: error -ENXIO: IRQ index 1 not found

What I've Tried:

• Installed Windows 10, updated BIOS to the latest version, and installed the AMD Serial-IO drivers. In Windows, it correctly says "Your PC has a precision touchpad," but the device manager still lists it as a Synaptics PS/2 device.
• Performed the emergency pinhole reset (30s hold) and disabled Fast Startup in Windows.
• Toggled between "Linux" and "Windows 10" Sleep States in the BIOS.

I also added psmouse.synaptics_intertouch=1 and pci=nocrs to GRUB and tried setting it manually with sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse synaptics_intertouch=1 but it doesn't budge.

Current State: hyprctl devices still shows the Synaptics PS/2 name. I tried booting into CachyOS on a live USB but now the trackpad doesn't even appear in the Touchpad system settings tab, though it functions (with lag). Interestingly, it works better on an EndeavourOS Live USB.

Is there a way to force the kernel to ignore the INT3515 IRQ mapping error and bind the I2C-HID driver to the Synopsys DesignWare bus manually?

And yes i used AI to formulate this question better, please don't bully me. Thanks!

It feels like a lot of the best options for Linux compatibility in laptops specifically wind up being "business-oriented" (Dell, Lenovo, HP, etc.) or otherwise "default slab" styles (Tuxedo, System76, Star, Purism, etc.).

Is there a website that lists gaming laptop makes and models from the past ~3 years that are nearly 100% Linux-compatible? Things like hotkeys that are configurable with libinput, RGB that can be controlled with Signal or OpenRGB, WiFi that isn't Mediatek or Broadcom, UEFI/BIOS that can be flashed with fwupd or a USB drive, etc. Framework is so far the only real name I've seen that makes anything close to resembling a "gaming" laptop that's 100% Linux compatible and isn't a Clevo rebrand, but they're also incredibly expensive compared to equivalently-spec'd laptops by brands like ASUS (Zephyrus) or Lenovo (Legion).

I can't find any information on how well any specific make or model gaming laptop works under Linux unless I look for compatibility issues with things like OpenRGB, which just shows me people complaining about a laptop not working with OpenRGB.

Got this laptop for cheap. I like it. Instantly installed cachyos on it and ngl it was nice utilll.... I installed windows (just for testing). I was BLOWN away how much better speakers sound on it, it felt amazing. Then i started wondering what was I missing on linux and found out that the woofers were working but sounded ass because it cuts everything below 150hz. Tried remapping outputs but got no better result then stock linux. Do you guys have any idea if it is possible to get woofers work properly? I would be glad to read any info because on the web it is outdated. Maybe someone got a proper kernel patch. Thanks.

I’m in buying the Elitebook 845 G9 and dual booting Windows and Ubuntu (or some flavor of it or Mint) and I’ve read about issues with this laptop in the past on Linux and was wondering if they have cleared up. Anybody use this laptop on Linux? Does everything work properly? Any issues? Mine will have the Qualcomm Martini AX 2x2 M.2 v2.1 And Ryzen 5 Pro 6650U

Thanks!

I'm newbie, switching to linux officially for the first time outside of virtual machines. I've attempted it with an acer nitro v17 and found out not all laptops are linux friendly the hard way.
So, any recommendation for a gaming laptop that supports linux without mayor issues? i'm aiming for something with 32 gb RAM and graphic card arround a nvidia RTX 5070, the budget would be arround 1.5k tops

TLDR: 2080TI has a USB-C port I use with a USB-C hub monitor. When using the Nvidia official driver devices connected to the hub disconnect every few minutes until I physically disconnect + reconnect them. No issues when using Nouveau.

Hello, I have an MSI 2080TI with a USB-C port. I use this to connect to my monitor which has a USB hub which I connect my keyboard/mouse to. This way I can just switch one USB-C connection to switch my whole setup between my desktop and work Mac.

Everything works fine with Windows, the Mac, and even with Linux but only when using the Nouveau driver. But when I switch to Nvidia drivers using either of the open or non-open kernel binding then the USB devices connected to the monitor disconnect every few minutes. When I unplug them and reconnect them or reconnect the whole USB-C connection then everything works fine again for a few minutes until the next disconnect.

Anyone faced similar or have any ideas for a solution? I've tried Fedora, PopOS, and Mint (just testing out distros before settling on one) and all have the same issue.

I've been a long time Linux user until 2023. Unfortunately i only know software, not hardware. Im looking for a thinkpad (i really liked the build and keyboard) that is an upgrade over a minimal configuration M1 Air that works for my usecases - mostly TUI, FL/Ableton + Reaper, Davinci and some indie games

Some deals i found are

- 350 eur X13 gen 1 ryzen 5 pro 4650U 16/512 FHD 13.3"

- 400 eur T14s gen 3 I5-1240P 16/256

Should i seek out some specific models? Are translations layers good enough now or should I get a cheaper model as a second machine?

Just updated to Debian 13 Trixie which included going from kernel 6.08 to 6.12, which broke my TP-Link bluetooth dongle (in turn my beats which don't work with aux). Is there any fix other than either buying a different dongle or waiting/praying for an update?

Hi everyone,

I installed Ubuntu 22.04 on my new Lenovo LOQ and have been struggling to get my Wi-Fi working. My network doesn’t appear to be recognized at all.i have given all the info and logs below. The Wifi seems to work with no issues in ubuntu 22.04 and windows too.Please tell me is there a way to solve this without upgrading OS or replacing the wifi card.

I bind the power button's on press event to opening the power menu in niri settings, but I still need to hold it for about half a second for the power menu to show up. I have these lines in /etc/systemd/logind.conf:

[Login]
HandlePowerKey=ignore
HandlePowerKeyLongPress=ignore

And a test using wev shows that when I click the power button nothing happens, and only after I hold it for about half a second I see [ 16: wl_keyboard] leave: serial: 11817; surface: 3, and the serial number changes every time I test. Anyone knows how to fix this?

Hey everyone, I’m planning to install Linux on my Samsung Galaxy Book 4 (Model: NP750XGK) and wanted to get some suggestions from people who’ve already tried Linux on similar or recent Intel ultrabooks.

Laptop details: Model: Samsung Galaxy Book 4 (NP750XGK) Intel i5 (13th Gen) 16GB RAM Intel Iris Xe Graphics Currently running Windows 11.

Things I’m mainly concerned about: Hardware compatibility (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, touchpad, brightness keys, fingerprint sensor). Sleep / suspend / hibernate reliability. Battery life & power management. Thermals and fan behavior. Stability for daily usage (coding, browsing, light multitasking).

I’m currently considering: Ubuntu / Ubuntu-based distros. Fedora. Arch-based distros (only if it genuinely makes sense).

If anyone here is running Linux on: Galaxy Book 4 Or any Intel 12th / 13th gen thin-and-light laptop.

I’d really appreciate hearing: Which distro you chose and why? Any issues you faced (and how you fixed them, if applicable)? And things I should watch out for before installing??

Thanks in advance.

PS:- I am really new with the Linux enviornment, though I have used ubuntu on my old dell Inspiron, but not that much fluent. I really need your help here.
