I installed Linux mint on my Lenovo X131e and installing updates has been problematic. Initially I thought only Firefox was not “getting internet” but looking at the apt-get messages it appears even that is having issues.

I have never been much a Linux user since the mid90s. But have used it off and on.

I am going to be using this in my game shop to display stuff on my monitors around the shop, mostly event codes and event standings for Magic the gathering (this uses a webpage from wizards). And to play music.

    Can you ping IPs (like your router or 1.1.1.1)? Do you have the same behavior over ethernet?

    Also, might be silly bit I’ve been fooled by this more once, have you tested other devices have access to the internet and the specific sites you’re testing with aren’t down?

      Ping is not working, I cannot even ping the router. All of my other devices have internet. I am thinking it is either my T-Mobile business internet, or the old laptop not working well with 5ghz.

      However, when I did a live usb boot it was working okay.
