I am trying to use dual-boot ubuntu 16 (because I need to use ROS Kinetic which requires ubuntu 16) on ThinkPad P15s laptop (windows 11). After downloading linux, and when rebooting I see a message saying like the following:image 1
I found this question forum ("dev/sda1: clean, ..." This message appears after I startup my laptop, then it won't continue booting) that talks about the same issue and tried most of the solutions mentioned but was able to make no progress. I tried the first suggestion and executed sudo apt-get purge nvidia*, and I got 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. I also tried sudo ubuntu-drivers autoninstall and got no drivers found for automatic installation. I tried the 2nd suggestion and ran sudo apt install gdm3 and got package gdm3 has no installation candidate. Then I went to the third suggestion and tried to connect to a network and faced several issues. My speculation that my previous command didn't work may come from the absence of an internet connection.
Anyways I found and similar question forum again (https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/45338/iwlist-interface-doesnt-support-scanning-ubuntu-lts-10-04) and went through the suggestions. I first executed ifconfig and got a following result:
image 2
Then I ran iwconfig and got a following result:
image 3
After this, I ran sudo ifconfig enp0s31f6 and it seemed to execute with no issue ( as the terminal was ready to accept a new terminal command) but when I ran iwlist, it was saying that the "interface doesn't support scanning". image 4 image 5
what should I do now...? I would very much appreciate the help.
Thanks for your time in advance.
