Hi,
I managed to get back into my qubes system. I had to use Ctrl,ALt,
Fn,F2, for some reason to get a tty2 terminal. This works for both boot
from pendrive and normal boot in uefi mode. I do not know why I need the
extra Fn button, but I do. Anyway, I also made a few bios changes and
managed to get the 5.4.10-1 kernel working in DOM0 and sys-net. Installed
the latest iwlwifi driver, but from dmesg, it nearly works, but not quite
there yet. The ax200 is there in the sys-net dmesg as recognised, but
something else is going wrong. I can attach the device in networking wifi,
but it still does not work. Interestingly, if I add the ASUS network
dongle, the intel-wifi shows up in the network icon at top right, but never
managed to connect, even to another wifi network. Maybe the next iteration
of iwlwifi will be working. I am now focusing on what bios changes made
5.4.10-1 work, and why suspend when closing the lid does not work at all.
At least I have something usable now. Will document this once I get all
the key parts working, and then do a reinstall to verify.
thanks for the help so far. Some unusual
things happening, but all adds to the fun and interest.
Sc0tt...
