Introduction

Welcome to this comprehensive guide on resolving common WiFi issues on Elementary OS. As a user of this beautiful Linux distribution, you may have encountered problems with your WiFi connection, making it difficult to access the internet or connect to your network. In this article, we will walk you through the steps to troubleshoot and resolve common WiFi issues on Elementary OS.

Dual Boot Setup

Before we dive into the troubleshooting process, let's take a look at your setup. You have installed Elementary OS on your Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro, which is a dual-boot setup with Windows 10. This means you have two operating systems installed on your device, and you can switch between them using the boot option screen.

Boot Option Screen Issues

You mentioned that the boot option screen has very small characters, making it difficult to read. This is a common issue on Linux systems, especially when using a dual-boot setup. To resolve this issue, you can try the following:

  • Increase font size: You can increase the font size of the boot option screen by editing the GRUB configuration file. To do this, open the terminal and type the following command:

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

    This will open the GRUB configuration file in the nano editor. Look for the line that starts with `GRUB_FONT` and change the value to a larger font size, such as `GRUB_FONT=unicode-16x16`. Save the changes and exit the editor.

    

  • Use a different font: If increasing the font size doesn't work, you can try using a different font. To do this, open the terminal and type the following command:
    

    • 



sudo update-grub


This will update the GRUB configuration file with the new font settings.

WiFi Issues

Now that we have resolved the boot option screen issue, let's move on to the WiFi issues. You may have encountered problems with your WiFi connection, such as:

  • No WiFi connection: You may not be able to connect to your WiFi network, or you may be experiencing intermittent connectivity issues.
  • Slow WiFi speeds: Your WiFi speeds may be slow, making it difficult to access the internet or stream content.
