I am trying to use dual-boot ubuntu 16 (because I need to use ROS Kinetic which requires ubuntu 16) on ThinkPad P15s laptop (windows 11). After downloading linux, and when rebooting I see a message saying like the following:image 1

I found this question forum ("dev/sda1: clean, ..." This message appears after I startup my laptop, then it won't continue booting) that talks about the same issue and tried most of the solutions mentioned but was able to make no progress. I tried the first suggestion and executed sudo apt-get purge nvidia*, and I got 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. I also tried sudo ubuntu-drivers autoninstall and got no drivers found for automatic installation. I tried the 2nd suggestion and ran sudo apt install gdm3 and got package gdm3 has no installation candidate. Then I went to the third suggestion and tried to connect to a network and faced several issues. My speculation that my previous command didn't work may come from the absence of an internet connection.

Anyways I found and similar question forum again (https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/45338/iwlist-interface-doesnt-support-scanning-ubuntu-lts-10-04) and went through the suggestions. I first executed ifconfig and got a following result: image 2

Then I ran iwconfig and got a following result: image 3

After this, I ran sudo ifconfig enp0s31f6 and it seemed to execute with no issue ( as the terminal was ready to accept a new terminal command) but when I ran iwlist, it was saying that the "interface doesn't support scanning". image 4 image 5

what should I do now...? I would very much appreciate the help.

Thanks for your time in advance.

Only *standard* support Ubuntu products/releases are on-topic here (refer https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic) which means Ubuntu 20.04 LTS & newer. Your system is off-topic here, but your question can be asked on SE *Unix & Linux* (see prior URL)

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.
