Hi RayEcc, Could you please post the output of: lsmod | grep iwlwifi It's strange,as according to https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi#supported_devices your card should be supported since Kernel 5.1, so your Kernel 5.16 is way ahead. Some logs would be useful, in...

MATE doesn't support Wayland fully yet, so you should be on X.org. You can check if wayland is running on Fedora (at least according to their docs) by typing echo $WAYLAND_DISPLAY and it will return nothing if wayland is not running, or wayland-0 if it is. There isn't really anything like safe...

Hi, Could you please post the output of cat /proc/bus/input/devices? In particular see if the touchpad is listed there. I don't have the same system, but what you should expect to see is something similar to this: I: Bus=0018 Vendor=093a Product=1336 Version=0100 N: Name="UNIW0001:00...

Hi Kish, I haven't used Fedora myself, with that GPU however you can use the current NVIDIA drivers. Optimus has improved on linux, with NVIDIA now supporting prime offload (only with Xorg however). If you use wayland, it will not be a pleasant experience, for the time being. That is also...

Hi Fenrisl, Are you using any custom Xorg config files?

Hi Lasse, Could you post the output of: hwinfo --keyboard --short

Hi All, A 26 month update! The laptop is still performing well. The only issue I had was the laptop monitor was coming apart a few weeks after the initial review, however I reinforced that area with some double sided tape and it has not been a problem since. Contacted PCS support they were...

As someone who games exclusively on linux, it certainly is possible. Steamplay and lutris have made huge strides in getting many windows games working using wine to facilitate this. One thing worth noting is, the performance will definitely be less than you would get on windows as we are...

The issue with Ubuntu is most likely the older kernel and firmware it uses by default on 18.04. Kernel 5.0 was release in March 2019 whereas your WiFi card in April 2019. Killer provide some instructions on their site for getting it working...

Glad to hear it the change of kernel has helped. Just a shame the crash was so sporadic. It would be interesting to see if the next iteration of the 5.x kernel for your distribution has the same issue. Happy that its solved for now.

SMART output appears fine, so you can rule out failure of your SSD. With regards to magic SysRq, you may need to look into the Ubuntu docs to see how to enable it. Some distros by default disable most functions of SysRq as it can be used to kill lock screens and therefore gain access to the...

Sorry to hear that experience. This reminds me of when I had to call their support all those years ago, pre-smartphone, pre 4g days. I was getting 0 coverage in my area and being 3 they didn't have any 2g to fall back on. Trying to cancel was a nightmare, I was told it was my device, my house...

No keyboard model information in that output sadly. This may also be relevant to you for a different clevo laptop, using the same utility. https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/controlling-backlit-keyboard-under-linux-optimus-ix.59494/

Hi, apologies for the late reply. So, I am no expert! I couldn't see anything out of ordinary in the log file, even prior to the reboot, everything is fairly normal. Most of those warnings/errors are negligible and as far as I can see shouldn't be causing system freezes. This then leads to...

Ah. Well that aforementioned utility may still work for you, it shouldn't do any harm if not. The only issue is if it doesn't work you would ideally want to get rid of it. I'd recommend creating a deb package from the source file. Can you post the output of sudo hwinfo --short, in particular...
