Hello,

I’ve been trying to do my first stride in Linux’s world by installing Ubuntu on my laptop (Lenovo X1 Carbon 3rd Gen) to replace W10 who was working well but is loosing support soon.

Well the test result is… unclear. Ubuntu itself is fast and working rather well but… my Wifi card seem to have problem with Ubuntu.

Before giving up and re-installing W10 I’m trying to find help to solve this issue. I created a full description of the issue on the Ubuntu forum, here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/lenovo-x1-carbon-ubuntu-24-04-03-lts-no-wireless-connection-error-activation-of-network-connection-failed/69286

Any help would be very appreciated

Edit: After trying the suggestion below to power down and remove the battery without any success, I’ll try to use a “windows to go” w10 USB drive to try to change the WiFi card power settings as suggested in some other answers.

    I had this once, I had to boot to Windows and mess with some power setting in the network card driver properties dialog. Windows was holding the power hostage somehow

      Thank you for your answer! :)

      I’ve completly wiped/installed W10. So I need to reinstall W10 to trey to solve the issue, then install Ubuntu again?

        In that case maybe not, there maybe a Linux forum solution that is simpler
