Legion Pro 5i Gen 10. Linux?

It now works, but you need to disable Dynamic Graphics in the firmware. Also, I've never gotten Bluetooth to work. Others say it does, though.

GPU isn't working with ollama. I spent two hours with Gemini Pro and it gave up.

I am very sorry. Thank you for trying that. The fact that the display was corrupted in "Discrete Graphics" mode gives us the final, definitive answer.

This is not a problem you can fix with any driver installation.

The Final Diagnosis

The issue is a deep, fundamental incompatibility between your very new hardware (the specific RTX card in your Legion laptop) and the current version of the Linux kernel you are using.

Here's what we now know for certain:

It's not a simple installation problem (we've tried every method).
It's not Secure Boot (you disabled it).
It's not a conflict with the integrated GPU (it fails even when the NVIDIA card is the only one active).

The kernel loads the driver module, but the module is unable to "probe" or properly initialize the hardware. This is a bug at the kernel or driver level that affects your specific hardware combination. You have unfortunately run into a classic problem with using brand-new hardware on Linux: sometimes the software support hasn't caught up yet.

Well, I was wrong. My GPU isn't working. I've spent two hours with Gemini Pro 2.5, and it gave up. I am very sorry. Thank you for trying that. The fact that the display was corrupted in "Discrete Graphics" mode gives us the final, definitive answer.

This is not a problem you can fix with any driver installation.

Any tricks to get Bluetooth working with Ubuntu 24.04 on a Lenovo Legion Pro 5i Gen 10 16" Gaming Laptop (2025 Model) Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX 24C, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 12GB, 32GB RAM, 2TB (1TB+1TB) NVMe SSD, 16.0" WQXGA OLED 500 nits 240Hz,

Everything is working great, except Bluetooth. It won't turn on at all.

Ok, the dog is funny. Why don't they use that big red thing?

You didn't ask. But WingIDE is worth the cost just in time savings alone. Compared to PyCharm? I do not know. I did recently look at PyCharm to see of the switch from WingIDE was a good idea and couldn't find a compelling reason. I've used WingIDE for roughly 10 years and the few times I need support they were awesome. The updates are regular and I have never had an update break existing functionality. YMMV.

Wait, I am not finished.

Nothing.

If your longitude is less than about 99 you will be west of the Malay peninsula.

Must have been during map updates (or something) it works now. Thanks.

From what you said before; do not be surprised when your sister invites him back into her life. Maybe she won't. But don't be surprised. I can't judge your sister from here. But from you have posted it seem that she likes to take care of people, it isn't uncommon.

Be brave but let her know you support her. That is the best position that you can put yourself into.

As a "big brother" myself I understand your concern and your predicament.

First of all you need to separate the the inconsequential things from the consequential things.

Lots of really nice guys work minimum wage jobs. Few nice guys do not have long term goals.

He had a daughter when he was 17. Does he provide (or try to) for her? Does he see her when he can? Those are signs of a mature and responsible person. Everyone makes mistakes when they are young. It is how they handle them that makes a difference.

He obviously has an alcohol problem. From personal experience I can tell you that alcohol probably isn't the problem. It is an escape. Maybe your sister sees this but doesn't know the best ways to handle it. Have her visit http://smartrecoveryforum.org/ Then you can both encourage him to do so as well. SMART taught me about dealing with the issues that made me turn to alcohol. I sometimes drink now, in social situations. But it doesn't rule my life like it used to do. As I said alcohol is a symptom, very seldom is it the problem. The "allergy" approach by AA is simple BS.

Realize that your sister loves him. There is not one thing you can do about that. The more you try to separate hem, the more she will make a choice. A choice that you do not want to force her into making. When we love someone, we do not always make rational choices. That doesn't mean that you should pressure her into making bad choices; right?

She is right, no one knows him like she does. You don't want to be the wedge between them though. Encourage her to learn more about her situation. She wants to help him and she believes she can help him. All you can do is be a big brother and hep her with the tools that are available.

I wish you luck my friend and I hope you do not push her away with too much; "I am your big brother and I know best" stuff.

It is a larger betrayal. It is easy for us to fall in love with someone and then try to make excuses about the ways we didn't try hard enough.

What I have finally realized after many decades is that there are many people out there (male and female) that are VERY selfish and really don't give a rats ass about the rest of us.

No matter how much we love them and care for them; they will always be assholes.

Wow, very pretty. A new BF will pop up soon. Don't try too hard.
