# iwlwifi will dyamically load either iwldvm or iwlmvm depending on the

NOTE: The conf file I edited commenting all lines, I read in a blog that might be a solution and at the end with no success.

I have been reading and following the Ububtu recommendations according to this Wiki article with no success.

Besides, I have read this case which is quite similar to mine and the solution was to reinstall the kernel?

No idea what does it mean, the kerner of ubuntu? the kernel of the device?

May someone of you support me in this case?

I am just considering to reinstall a previous version of UBUNTU

Thanks.

Try `sudo apt-get install -y linux-firmware` then `sudo ubuntu-drivers install` and then `sudo apt-get update` followed by `sudo shutdown -r now` and after you log in again type `lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net; lsusb; dmesg | egrep -i 'Wirelessl|firm'; rfkill list all` and post the result for us.

Hi @pilot6, the command "dmesg | grep iwl" shows no result.

Hi @OrganicMarble, how did you do that? I mean, install a different kernel?

Hej @darth_epoxy, please take a look to the results of the command "sudo apt-get install -y linux-firmware" ; considering the results, I did not proceed with the followings commands. Let me know :)

Boot with a previous kernel using grub. It looks like kernel is not fully installed.

Hello guys, just to inform that proposal of downgrade the kernel did not work, neither the recovery mode. Graphics, sound and wireless service were unable to use. So I decide to re-install Ubuntu 18.04 and everthing is okej now. Thank you,

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
