My laptop is Lenovo Yoga 910. I have Ubuntu installed however I cannot connect it to wireless network. Wifi just cannot be enabled. Also since this is an ultrabook it does not use ethernet. I am using dual OS and wifi is on and works fine on Windows 10. Is there any driver I should install? I am completely new to this, please be specific. Thank you.

    Open terminal (CTRL + T) and enter lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net Does this show a wireless interface and something next to kernel driver in use? Also check rfkill list all Does it show something blocked?

It seems that a kernel module is blocking wifi, so


echo "blacklist ideapad-laptop" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ideapad-laptop.conf

Reboot and see if the hard blocks are gone

I would suggest filing a bug report at bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu against package linux and then follow instructions

    The command keeps the ideapad-laptop module from loading. A year or so ago a change was made to the rfkill registers in BIOS of some Lenovo laptops/netbooks that falsely reported wifi as blocked with the ideapad-laptop module. You could file a bug report against linux as your issue may have been fixed with this commit in the upstream kernel development

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

Image
up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
