Today is a day that I have been looking forward to for a while now. I upgraded my machine to 20.04, but I have run into a bit of a snag.



I have been running Ubuntu on an SSD on my Lenovo Legion y530 (i7-8750h, GTX 1050 ti) for about a year now. When I originally installed Ubuntu, I was having the usual trouble with Nvidia graphics, but also wifi. I followed these instructions when I first set it up.



In browsing those instructions, you will find that I had to sudo rmmod ideapad_laptop and then add ideapad_laptop to my blacklist. When I was updating Ubuntu today, I was asked if I wanted to replace my blacklist.conf file, and I selected to keep the original, as I was worried that that would make the transition to 20.04 more difficult.



After booting in to 20.04, it has become apparent that I may have not selected the right choice, as I do not have wifi capability at this time. I'm not sure if I have to blacklist something else, or if there is something else that I need to do to my blacklist entirely.



For the time being, I can use a wired connection, but I would like to figure this out soon. Please let me know if you have any ideas as to how to fix this, or if I could offer further clarification. Thank you.

Welcome to the terrible world of the new kernel and Realtek Wi-Fi... It broke some cards that were already working (like mine RTL8723ae). Some people can solve it using https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88 (not my case). Just follow the instructions of github to install the drivers.
