I'm using ubuntu 16.04 on an ideapad, with a 7260 intel card. Wifi works fine on 4.6, but after going to 4.10 I started getting a "no suitable firmware found" error message and no wifi. I rolled back to 4.6, but, is there any way of making it work with 4.10?
I tried using the 361 and 364 drivers, I get the following error when I run nvidia-settings:
** Message: PRIME: No offloading required. Abort
** Message: PRIME: is it supported? no
ERROR: nvidia-settings could not find the registry key file. This file should
have been installed along with this driver at either
/usr/share/nvidia/nvidia-application-profiles-367.18-key-documentation
or /usr/share/nvidia/nvidia-application-profiles-key-documentation. The
application profiles will continue to work, but values cannot be
preopulated or validated, and will not be listed in the help text.
Please see the README for possible values and descriptions.
I recently upgraded to ubuntu 16.04 and my SD card reader is not working. The system does not detect the reader at all. The output of lsusb is fairly uninformative:

So I don't even know what sd card reader model I have. I'm using an ideapad u430.

Today while trying to install a program with wine, the whole system suddenly became read only and pretty much everything stopped working. After reboot things worked, but I found the following errors with dmesg:

I have seen that similar errors could indicate a faulty sata wire. Is there anything I can do or check for?
I installed jitsi, both from the official repos and a direct download from the webpage. When I try to run it I get the error message:
SIP Communicator is already running and will handle your parameters (if any)
Launch with the --multiple param to override this behaviour.
If I do launch it with --multiple java gives a huge error message and it crashes.
I run commands in fixubuntu.com to get rid of online searches but now I would like them back but can't find a way to reactivate them. I tried reinstalling unity-scope-home and unity-lense-applications but it didn't do it.
I also run command gsettings reset com.canonical.Unity.Lenses disabled-scopes and gsettings reset com.canonical.Unity.Lenses remote-content-search.
When I put two windows side by side with ctrl+super+left/right there is a small space between both windows where I see the desktop wallpaper, it's kind of annoying and I haven't been able to figure out how to eliminate it or at least reduce it a bit. I'm using ubuntu 13.10.
I have ubuntu 13.10 installed in my laptop (lenovo u430) and I want to have ubuntu 12.04 also (because of graphic drivers). When I try the live cd, it says I have no other OS in my computer and that it'll erase the disk. If I try to resize the partition (lvm) I can only reduce it in 50 MB, but I have around 300 GB of free space. Is there any way around these problems?
I just got my new laptop, a lenovo ideapad u430, but I can't install ubuntu. I'm not a complete noob, I've installed ubuntu in other computers before, but this one is giving me problems. I got it to boot from the usb (13.04) but the first installation screen is barely visible, very, very dark, and nothing seems to work. If I press enter when the orange screen with the small keyboard logo appears, it gives me a menu to either install or use ubuntu, but if I choose any of the options it tries to start and then just freezes and the screen is either black or show some logs of what it was doing. If I try to install the 13.10 I get a black screen after the purple screen with the small keyboard icon on the bottom.
I then tried and managed to install ubuntu 12.04, it seems to work more or less, but when I upgraded the computer boots to a black screen, then only way to make it work is by booting with the 3.2 kernel. I reinstall ubunte 12.04 and as soon as I updated the kernel files same black screen.
I would love to get ubuntu 13.10 working, but I need at least to be able to use the new kernels.
These are the specs of my laptop: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Lenovo-IdeaPad-U430-Touch-Ultrabook.100623.0.html
I've recently upgraded to 13.04 from 12.04 and I've experienced some performance issues with games (mostly) I wasn't having with 12.04, relatively simple games like xonotic freeze my system after an hour or so and I have to force shut down the system.
Specs:
Inter I7 2.2 GHz 4Gb ram GeForce GT 540M
I've tried running the games with primusrun, optirun and without them, all the same result. If I try to run them in the lxde desktop I get slightly less problems, but the desktop itself is presenting a lot of bugs and programs constantly freeze.
