Network doesn't work on Mint after fresh install with dualboot

[muted hamlet]

It does work Windows, though, which is the primary OS

[viscid cloak]

Can you run the 2 commands at https://gist.github.com/jeremyb31/a2bee9856d8c13f42f1835bc31bf9480 in terminal and post the termbin URL after the second command is done?

[muted hamlet]

i'm just gonna show you the whole terminal

[hot anchor]

If the terminal shows an output like "unable to resolve host address..." remember to try again twice for good measure

It could also be that there has been some conflicts with Windows regarding the drivers, since if it is using Fast Startup, it kinda holds the Wi-Fi devices for itself for the next boot.

If that happens, the other OSes won't be able to use the Wi-Fi device. So, it would also be helpful to check if you have that option enabled.

connect your pc with ethernet or usb tethering first

then try again

[muted hamlet]

Its off

[muted hamlet]

same result

[muted hamlet]

dont know how to connect it, i have an ethernet wireless cable shit i dont know what its called

[calm river]

ethernet wireless cable?

ethernet is just a regular cable

you just connect 1 end to your router and 1 end to your pc

and youre online

[viscid cloak]

Can you use a smartphone and USB tethering?

[muted hamlet]

It aint a cable

Its one of those things

wireless something, language barrier sucks

[muted hamlet]

no, plugged the usb in, and nothing happens, no connection no nothing

[calm river]

thats a usb wifi donglwe

it should just plug in and work

but seems like your pc is having issues with wifi

[viscid cloak]

If it is Android phone you have to go into phone settings/connections/mobile hotspot and tethering to enable the USB tether after connecting with USB to computer

[muted hamlet]

it still doesn't work, and the few times it does it gives me an error similar to this one

only last 3 numbers are changed

[viscid cloak]

You don't have USB tether setup, it is trying to get file access

[muted hamlet]

what

[muted hamlet]

mint specifically, windows is fine with it

[viscid cloak]

The error you posted is related to accessing the files on the phone, nothing to do with USB tethering

[muted hamlet]

oh

[viscid cloak]

My Samsung does the same thing

[muted hamlet]

also when i selected tethering instread of file share or whatever the fuck it grayed out my options to change anything

and it still didnt work

[viscid cloak]

You have to do it in phone settings/connections

[muted hamlet]

I enabled that too

nothing changed

like nothing was happening

[viscid cloak]

Does your plan allow hotspot data?

[muted hamlet]

pretty sure

[viscid cloak]

Then USB tether should work. Can you post some results from terminal for lsmod | grep cfg

[muted hamlet]

without the phone plugged in?

[viscid cloak]

Yes, for now

Hopefully one line shows cfg80211 with a couple numbers and some driver names

[viscid cloak]

What about lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net

[muted hamlet]

dont know if this helps but ill send it anyway

[viscid cloak]

Results for lsusb

[viscid cloak]

Result for uname -r

[muted hamlet]

wait

uname -r after running that command?

[viscid cloak]

This is some desktop computer?

[muted hamlet]

yes

[viscid cloak]

The easy way might be to install Linux Mint 21.3 edge version at least it has a driver for the USB device

[muted hamlet]

no difference compared to normal cinnamon?

like resource usage, that stuff

[viscid cloak]

It has a newer kernel, that will get the USB wifi to work. Not sure what the other wifi you have is, not being detected. Might have to go into Windows, Device Manager, network and see if you can find the hardware ID under properties somewhere

Did you disable Fast Boot in BIOS and hybrid shutdown in Windows?

[muted hamlet]

hybrid shutdown?

i got fast boot disabled in windows and in bios but whats hybrid shutdown

[viscid cloak]

Same thing as Fast Startup in Windows, https://www.majorgeeks.com/content/page/how_to_turn_fast_startup_on_or_off_in_windows_10.html

[muted hamlet]

its off

[muted hamlet]

can't find it

[viscid cloak]

Can't find what?

[muted hamlet]

the wifi that isnt being detected

i don't know what i am looking at

[viscid cloak]

So is the only wifi the USB?

[muted hamlet]

yes

[viscid cloak]

I figured there was an internal one. Might as well install Mint 21.3 edge. Anything that you want to keep on this Mint install?

[muted hamlet]

nothing, i didn't get to do anything other than change themes cause i had no internet

I used install alongside windows boot manager, instead of creating the mint partition on my own, is that a problem?

[viscid cloak]

That isn't the issue. Need that 6.5 kernel for Mint

[muted hamlet]

I reinstalled mint with the edge iso, internet works now, thanks for the help

and sorry for the time wasted

[muted hamlet]

actually

it still doesn't work

it connects but nothing loads properly
