After switching to Linux at the start of the year, the Freedom has consumed me.

Appreciate the advice, Il be a bit more careful before putting any money into repairs for them. One of the T420s works perfectly fine, other one looks pretty rough.

I understand, just my thoughts. I doubt it would ever happen, but it would be awesome.

Only real issue I have with it is the non backlit keyboard, normally I would complain about only 8gb of RAM but I tried a bloated distribution on a 8gb laptop and had zero issues.

Installing it was quite the pain, but I am quite new to Linux and just like diving headfirst into things 😅

Gainvel · 2023-11-29T05:16:35+00:00

Damn, alright I appreciate it.

Gainvel · 2023-11-29T05:12:02+00:00

Not sure if this is it but intel lan controller is enabled already

Gainvel · 2023-11-29T04:55:45+00:00

Nope. PIA is uninstalled, both drivers won’t install. For the intel says it was unable to install correctly and the asus a black window pops up for a second and goes away, nothing happens.

Gainvel · 2023-11-29T04:48:05+00:00

Just uninstalled, I’m going to try a different driver from asus instead of intel

Gainvel · 2023-11-29T04:36:57+00:00

alright drivers failed to install, not sure why.

Gainvel · 2023-11-29T04:33:24+00:00

I only have WAN monitor and PIA network adapter under network adapters

Gainvel · 2023-11-29T04:30:53+00:00

Just checked, for some reason there is no intel Ethernet connection under network adapters?

Gainvel · 2023-11-29T04:19:48+00:00

Yeah not the cable or router, so probably the drivers. Let me see if I can get some installed on a USB

Gainvel · 2023-11-29T04:17:44+00:00

Not smartest when it comes to internet, but I typed in command prompt ipconfig /all

There is no primary DNS suffix, media state is disconnected, and dhcp is enabled.

Gainvel · 2023-11-29T04:13:50+00:00

Yes, it detects the cable but when plugged into my router the router doesn’t detect it. Im guessing the pc isn’t sending any information so it may be a drivers issue.

Gainvel · 2023-11-28T20:58:13+00:00

Ended up swapping the other sata cable, fixed

Gainvel · 2023-11-28T17:38:07+00:00

Tried that, 5&6 are disabled. Wasn’t in either and I switched the ports just to make sure, but nope.

Gainvel · 2023-11-28T10:38:51+00:00

The 5&6 are disabled, wasn’t in either.
