I just installed Linux Mint (first time using Linux) on my HP G7 255. I don't have experience with programming or Linux in general, but for over an hour I can't connect to the internet. I have to say at this point that in the booting process in order not to have a black screen I changed "quiet splash" to nomodeset (no idea what are those, but it worked, read that it has to do with the drivers).

I would really appreciate some help here, I read about 10 different forum discussions on this topic but I didn't understand a lot.

$ ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo

  • Please add output of ```ip a``` to your question and check ```sudo dmesg``` for ethernet / wi-fi related error messages. – dirdi Dec 18 '19 at 19:39
  • @dirdi I didn't get the first thing you said about ip a. Also the second one what is it about? – Someone86 Dec 20 '19 at 18:43
  • Under Linux you can do most thinks faster using a terminal. Open one (The Ctrl+Alt+t shortcut works for most distributions, or search the "start menu" for it), type in the two commands I mentioned above (one at a time), hit return and paste their output to the end of your question. – dirdi Dec 20 '19 at 19:53
  • thank you! do I put them exactly as you typed em here? And what exactly is "ip a" ? – Someone86 Dec 20 '19 at 21:30
  • The second command is huge, I don't even know how to put it here, as the linux laptop doesnt connect to the internet. – Someone86 Dec 22 '19 at 10:12
  • I made a doc file with the output of the commands ( its 22 pages, and so many characters to put it here( – Someone86 Dec 22 '19 at 10:26
  • Well done so far. Just paste the complete output of ```ip -a```, as well as lines from ```sudo dmesg``` containing "err" or "fail" plus some surrounding lines as context to the end of your question. Then we will probably be able to help you. – dirdi Dec 22 '19 at 11:36
  • I uploaded them, the word "failure" appeared 6 times after the command "sudo dmseg" – Someone86 Dec 22 '19 at 15:52
