I want to create a desktop shortcut to turn off conservation mode on my laptop. For that I need to run this command: echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ideapad_acpi/VPC2004:00/conservation_mode I made a desktop entry, but I don't know how to run it as superuser. This way it doesn't do anything. The closest thing I found was pkexec but that doesn't work.
I have a Lenovo IdeaPad 1 11ADA05 on which I would like to install Kubuntu. I can boot into the live session just fine, everything works (graphics, WiFi, Sound...). However the installer doesn't see the eMMC this machine has. I've played around with different UEFI settings, secureboot on and off, the thing even has a "setup mode" in the UEFI, but nothing seems to make a difference. A generic non-machine specific Windows10 installation USB stick sees the eMMC and installs fine, so I guess it can't be too exotic?!? Here's a hw-probe out of the live session, I can't even tell if the kernel find's the SD-controller to which the eMMC is supposedly connected, can anyone have a look? https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=5885335d44
It seems to run Kubuntu very nicely and would be a pity if I couldn't install it. The UEFI lists the eMMC as Ramaxel 64GB and furthermore "hard disk" as not installed. I opened the case and found mounting holes to mount an M.2 (I guess), there are also the soldering pads on the PCB but the M.2 socket is not soldered on, so that would only be a last resort solution, if the eMMC can't be used at all...
Looking forward to any hints!

I bought a Lenovo IdeaPad 5 15are05 yesterday and installed Ubuntu 20.04 on it. Problem is, the touchpad doesn't work.
I've also tried 18.04 and even Debian 10, but the only OS it works on is Windows.
I've looked through many fora and I found nothing that helped me. However, I did find some commands and I think you will find these outputs interesting
cat /proc/bus/input/devices:

Even though it says "Touchscreen", I know for a fact that this is my touchpad. How do I know this?
Well, when I go to a terminal using ctrl+alt+f3, and I try to use my touchpad, it outputs this:
elants_i2c i2c-ELAN0001:00: unknown packet 0e 00 04 03 03 meaning that I'm touching it. That value changed on different actions, for example, it becomes 01 on 'releasing' the touchpad.
This means that the touchpad is listed under ELAN0001, which the "Touchscreen" is listed under as well. I don't think it's that weird that it says it's a touchscreen, because they're very similar.
xinput outputs this:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ NEWMEN1500 Mouse Consumer Control id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ NEWMEN1500 Mouse id=15 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]

↳ NEWMEN1500 Mouse id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Integrated Camera: Integrated C id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Ideapad extra buttons id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
The touchpad should be listed under Virtual core pointer, but it isn't.
I would really like to know a fix for this, since I need the touchpad to work and I don't want to buy a new laptop, so please help me!
I recently installed Linux on my Lenovo Ideapad 320, but I forgot to disable conservation mode from Lenovo vantage with Windows 10. The problem is that now my PC doesn't charge over 60%. I already tried with tlp but it doesn't seem to work.
How can I return to default thresholds (100%)?
