rtw89 VS yoga-slim7-ubuntu

I found this GitHub link that contains instructions on how to compile the driver for most distributions. However, they require usage of make install so I don't think that would work on NixOs.

I have the older version with the 6900HS but it’s more or less the same. I’ve run pop_os as well as fedora on it. Everything works great but you’ll have to compile the wifi driver https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.

I have seen other people with newer Lenovo systems reporting success with this: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89/blob/main/README.md

This is a Realtek rtl8852be chipset and uses the rtw89 driver which does not come prepackaged in the Linux kernel... See https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89

Got mine working on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 with 7 commands: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install make gcc build-essential git git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git cd rtw89 make sudo make install sudo reboot 0

Yes I guess, its already been reported in earlier versions. I tried to install from code, https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89 But it didn't work either.

Realtek drivers are such a PITA. Check out this guys Github: Link he has instructions on how to get the most common realtek chipsets working. Please note, kernel updates will break the drivers for all realtek workarounds and you will have to redo this after each update.

but to my understanding, it cannot be installed due to kernel related issues. so i tried installing this instead with no luck: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89

apt-get install make gcc linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential git Install 'fix': git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git -b v5 cd rtw89 && make && sudo make install load module: sudo modprobe rtw89pci

git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git -b v5 cd rtw89 && make && sudo make install

This doesn't really 'fix' the problem, but rather just a workaround to stop the laptop from freaking out every time you just need to close the lid for whatever the reason it may be. Hitting 'suspend,sleep,etc.' or any thing related to calling the system to enter a sleep state will only cause the problem to occur. Like on my setup I also prevented hitting the power button go into sleep mode too so it's far less of an annoyance now than before.Hopefully in the future support from Lenovo or people working on the linux kernel can figure out a way to avoid this (especially since a fix seemed to be possible prior to 5.10 using a DSDT method as instructed in this github page: https://github.com/jrandiny/yoga-slim7-ubuntu, but after 5.11 this isn't possible because IDK)

There's a guide on the Archwiki#EnablingS3(before_BIOS_version_1.33)) to fix the S3 mode. As I'm using Ubuntu atm I can't tell if it's working (can't get S3 to work here, even though there's a decent git guide so I will most likely make an attempt with Fedora later.

it's a problem related to the Yoga Slim 7 suspend mode, there is a trick to avoid this here

Check this: https:/github/jrandiny/yoga-slim7-ubuntu. It may work for you too. For me it worked pretty well.

Hello, I'm having an issue where the screen of my laptop won't turn on after going to suspend state. I tried to do the fix stated in this github repo but I lost it on the part where adding kernel parameters using GRUB, can anyone help me do it using kernelstub. Thanks :-)

It works well, but requires a recent kernel and some tricks to make audio and ACPI work: https://github.com/jrandiny/yoga-slim7-ubuntu

I don't know really what causes it but maybe this helps, do it with caution: https://github.com/jrandiny/yoga-slim7-ubuntu
