So I recently got the Lenovo x270, and installed Debian on it instead of the default Windows OS. I've come to find out WiFi, as well as ethernet are both shipped not working. I've tried to fix it, but nothing has worked so far. I switched from straight Debian 8 to Kali to see if it was just a problem in base Debian, but it wasn't. Laptop specs related to issue:
Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265
Kali Linux (Kernel 4.0.0)
1 Ethernet port
I installed the Intel drivers needed for the 8265 (http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking/000005511.html). However, this requires a kernel version of 4.6, which it doesn't seem I can get without apt-get which I can't use because I don't have internet.
I also attempted to manually add the ethernet using https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration#Setting_up_an_Ethernet_Interface and a few other sources I've now lost, but that didn't work either. The main problem I'm having is it seems you need internet to be able to install various packages that allow you to get internet, so I'm not sure what to do. Any ideas would be a great help.
Thank you.
Without knowing the specific NIC, it's hard to say which specific driver is required though Lenovo lists the x270 has having an intel NIC. Running lspci should give you the manufacturer and device ID of the NIC, which enables you to lookup the device on sites such as http://pcidatabase.com/.
The kernel messages might contain useful debugging information, try running dmesg, it might give you information on detected devices or driver-issues.
The kernel might not have loaded the relevant module for the intel WNIC, try forcing it by running sudo modprobe iwlwifi.
Wireless networking devices require non-free firmware. For the intel 8265, this is available as a .deb-package at https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=firmware-iwlwifi, .deb-packages can be installed using sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb.

I made a mistake during the installation of Debian 11. My plan was to run Debian next to Win10 by using Grub2 but installed Debian high secure LVM which overwrote my notebook's complete Harddisk. I am completely new to Linux so as you can imagine I struggle hard because I only have a "DOS-style-Terminal". The Debian 11 .iso ist only 3xx mb large and I wonder if i am able to install Gnome from the given Terminal. Some sources mentioned Gnome could be part of the .iso .Is it true? Do I have a chance to process? If not I concidered to add a folder on the bootable USB stick, add something like "gnome.deb" and try to progress this way. I dont have internet in my Asus Vivobook model M712D because of missing"RTW88......" which makes my situation even worse but can access the internet by my Smartphone. In the end I want to install vscode to progress at www.freecodecamp.org using Debian instead of Kali for advanced Linux learning and future operations. I am sure this is a topic to discuss, I cant imagine I am the only one struggling on this issue. Many Windows user gets prevented from using linux by this issue .
The small size of the image indicates that you probably used the Network Install image. This minimal image does not feature desktop environments. Your options are:
Download an image that features a desktop environment (complete installation image, see here) and reinstall Debian using this image.
Install the desktop environment yourself. To do that, you could try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install task-gnome-desktop. This, however requires an internet connection.

I have Ubuntu 16.04 and already installed BlueZ 5.37, PulseAudio 10.0, and ofono 1.20 (clone from github).
And I need to use phone like modem for transmitting my phone calls to computer. I paired my telephone with PC, made device trust and connect (all actions are successfully). I think problem with ofono, because I can play music (which use the A2DP) but if i want use hends free or headset profile - I have no sound on PC.
In pacmd (PulseAudio console tool) list-cards I see my bluetooth device, but Headset Audio Gateway HFP/HSP is not avalible. Also I tested it on different devices and computers.
Thank you in advice.
I've solved in this way:
Install ofono
In /etc/pulse/default.pa find the line load-module module-bluetooth-discover and change it to load-module module-bluetooth-discover headset=ofono.
If the user pulse is not a member of group bluetooth, then add it: sudo useradd -g bluetooth pulse
VERY IMPORTANT: add this to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ofono.conf before </busconfig>:
<policy user="pulse">
<allow send_destination="org.ofono"/>
</policy>
See: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Bluetooth/
The good news: Now in pavucontrol I can see that the profile changes automatically from A2DP to HSP / HFP if I make a phone call, and then it magically returns to A2DP!
The bad news: it works only one time per booting (and checking if ofonod is running), then I have to reboot my Debian system.
My Solution:
I just found my solution in Fedora 26, using Plantronics Legend and Pluggable Bluetooth USB, after a lot of searching.
I am going back through my history, and updating threads with my solution where I can. This worked for me, direct from Plugable (which is the USB module I am using).
See this post: plugable-usb-bluetooth-adapter-solving-hfphsp-profile-issues-on-linux
Command Summary per Above Link:
wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/plugable/bin/fw-0a5c_21e8.hcd
sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/brcm
sudo mv fw-0a5c_21e8.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702A0-0a5c-21e8.hcd
sudo cp /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702A0-0a5c-21e8.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e8.hcd
Then reboot.
HSP/HFP Profile not available for Bluetooth headset in Fedora 20, was available in Fedora 19 change the device and test it again

I have Linux both command line linux, and Ubuntu, but my computer is Windows 10 based. Also the hardware is not what it used to be. I.e... No working USB port, No DVD slot (But I do have a Micro SD slot if I can boot it from there) but I was wondering if I can install and boot linux directly in Windows? And I was wondering if Windows 10 would be active still, and if I an switch in between the two? I have never worked with Linux or booted it. How can I boot linux in windows without anything but a micro sd card?
you can not boot linux on windows. you can make Bootable USB and use live linux or use virtual machine like VMWare
Use a virtual machine. They allow you to run multiple operating systems at once, and as long as your machine supports virtualization, they work perfectly for the situation you are describing.
My preferred virtualization software include:
VMWare
and
VirtualBox
From there, download and install the Linux .iso file of your choice to be able to open and switch between operating systems at will. Also, make sure to enable virtualization in your BIOS settings.

Being Belgian, all laptops come with windowsTM pre-installed. Ingnorantly, I bought on thinking I would be able to install (K)ubuntu. I found out the UEFI is just microsoft's way to prevent you doing this. It stops you booting from USB or CD, it does not allow installing Linux or anything.
I tried the F2/F10 options and settings, I disengaged the security options, disabled secure boot, changed boot order, I tried changing HD with compatible laptop and running OS, tried to bang it against my head, nothing lets me install Linux, it just says:"no bootable device found"
UEFI dual booting Linux and Windows is big tangled mess. I've pulled it off with Ubuntu and Fedora, but after a lot of effort. There are a lot of important variables here. I'm more likely to be able to offer a solution with the following info:
Which media are you using – USB or optical?
How did you create the media? (e.g. Pendrive, Rawwrite, etc.)
Which laptop manufacturer? (This is surprisingly relevant)
Also, it will help us all in the long run if we get more insight into the specific UEFIs and start documenting this issue more thoroughly. UEFIs are embedded software typically written by third-party companies like Insyde. You can find yours by installing a Windows system detailer like Speccy or HWInfo64. See the attached screenshot from Speccy. This info is unlikely to help here and now, but it will help us long-term: I'm looking to create a repository for these UEFI boot issues if someone hasn't done so already.
Try installing Fedora 22. There is a UEFI trampoline to get passed this hurdle. If I had a UEFI machine I'd have tested this answer; it is theoretical at best.

I am trying to install ubuntu 14.04.2 LTE. I have a lunovo ideapad with windows 8. I have followed all necessary steps flawlessly, and even factory reset my laptop to make this smoother. I get this error when trying to boot and install ubuntu. I also get it if i try to run ubuntu without installing. Also I tried re-downloading ubuntu, and remounting on my usb with the universal usb installer.
Is this error due to my computer, or the ubs/unbuntu? There was another option in the boot menu. It was check disk for error. I do not know if it was checking disk as in the iso disk or my hard drive, but a ubuntu lunch screen appeared and it was looking into some ubuntu files (on the usb), when it was done it said there was 2 errors. It did not say what kind or if it repaired it , or how to repair it. It only gave me the option to exit, then lunovo boot screen appeared and it stayed in a attempting to repair loop for quite a awhile so I gave up on that and shut down.
I would ask this in ask ubuntu, but I do not have enough "respect points" to upload an image.
Major respect to anyone who can help me out, I have been to get ubuntu for 2 days now, and I hit a dead end.
This error message can appears in those cases:
1. Your hardware it not compatible, usually ACPI issue. Try to boot with additional options: "noapic" and/or "acpi=off". You should be able to set parameters in "Other options" [F6 key].
2. Your RAM is broken. Check it in "Test memory" option.
