S540 driver

I'm trying to install a printer driver via the terminal in Linux Mint. (I have to do it this way - the Printers app doesn't find it). I've opened the terminal in the folder containing the driver. I've used "ls" to list the files in the folder and the 'install' file is there. I use sudo ./install, but when I enter password, I get "sudo: ./install: command not found. Here's what it looks like: ___________________________________________________________ user@user-ThinkPad-S5-S540:~/Desktop/LabelPrinter-1.1.0$ ls i386 install LabelPrinter.ppd uninstall x86_64 user@user-ThinkPad-S5-S540:~/Desktop/LabelPrinter-1.1.0$ sudo ./install [sudo] password for user: sudo: ./install: command not found user@user-ThinkPad-S5-S540:~/Desktop/LabelPrinter-1.1.0$ ___________________________________________________________
It's the same result if I use the full path to the 'install' file. I've been seeking help on this for hours but can't find a solution that applies. Please?

Hello there. A few months ago I bought a focusrite Scarlett solo 3rd gen audio interface with the hope of recording a few things on my Lenovo Ideapad s540. I downloaded the necessary drivers and my laptop crashed. After the crash it started a loop where it would start up crash then start up again. At some point it opened up and ever since the icon that displays the internet connection shows No Internet. I'm still able to use internet browsers download, upload and basically do everything however certain apps, namely Spotify as well as the app that comes with the audio interface don't seem to recognise the internet connection.
I have tried resetting the network drivers, updating even deleting and downloading again but nothing seems to change it. Do you guys have any idea of what to do? (I will take it to a repair shop in the near future)

Dear redditors, The title is pretty self explanatory I think. What should I do about this?
It for sure seems to be a wifi problem, as it does not happened when I turn the wifi off. But then updating the network driver does not seem to fix it. Also, other people do not seem to have this issue whole they use my uni's network (EDUROAM)
I have also done general updates on my laptop. My university's IT desk could not help me with the issue either. What should I do?
For your info: I have a lenovo ideapad s540 and I use ESET virus software (dont know of that is relevant, but just in case)

my device is
Lenovo ideapad s540-15IWL GTX after recent bios update for version
BWCN19WW
the internal HDD (ST1000LM035-1RK172) , started to fail and this took me months to figure the problem but after searching for alot of time i found that this exact HDD model even in different laptop brands like Asus or Dell with bios updates is failing and i mean by failing that you suddenly find your laptop restarts and then the hard disk is not even detected in the system anymore at all and even in the disk management its only detected in bios so i tried to search for older versions on the the support site but they don't have any older versions or even when i requested old ones so if someone could help
UPDATE :
for Lenovo ideapad S540-15IWL GTX
problem solved : the 1 TB / 1000 GB hdd disk / ST1000LM035-1RK172 seagate disk was not detected in the software / device manger / disk management but was detected only on bios, if it was detected it was failing after nearly 5 minutes from powering on the machine
what i did:
1-downloaded all other drivers manually to the newest version from the official site
2- i deleted the disk from device manger without restarting
3- then headed to install bios version BWCN15WW ( make sure bios back flash enabled in bios settings)
i did extend tests, SMART , linear read , etc via tools like Seatools (from Seagate official website ) and Lenovo diagnostics ( found in the drivers for the device in the support site)
and it passed no fails

So, 1 year ago, I opened my laptop (Ideapad S540-14IML) to clear the dust in it and I did it accordingly to a video of my laptops model on youtube. Tough it was a repair video, I learned how to open my laptop without damaging it. I wore plastic gloves to not damage any hardware, unconnected the battery and done the cleaning and put the laptops bottom back. I opened it and It inhaled back to life spinning its fans so loudly (normally doesn't do this except updating bios, not even in performance mod) like it was aware that I got under it's skin. Than I saw that my fingerprint wasn't working and logged in with my pin. Came to saw that USB ports was failing and got scared so I closed my laptop, and I put it in its handbag. To my suprise, It didn't got closed and spinned it's fans until it got out of charge while being schorching hot. I charged it up and started it again, and USBs didn't worked again. So I restarted it and It magically solved itself.
​
Whenever it did this, I restarted and It got solved again. I passed a year or more like this until this night.
​
It gives (actually three of them in total)
"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
​
A USB port reset request failed." this on device manager.
I tried uninstalling them, updating drivers and they didn't work.
At this point, I'm convinced that I burned some... things in it over a year.
My laptop has 2 Usb-A and 1 Usb-C port if that helps...

Computer Type: Laptop
GPU: Vega iGPU
CPU: RYZEN 7 4800u 8 CORE 16 THREADS
Motherboard: Lenovo S540-13ARE
BIOS Version: F0CN39WW
RAM: 16GB Samsung
Operating System & Version: WINDOWS 10 PRO & Fedora 38 (Gnome)
Description of Original Problem: System Crash when playing video.
Troubleshooting: I have tried the following:

• I have tested the memory using the inbuilt system diagnostics and all tests 'Passed'.
• I have also tested in both windows and Linux (fedora, arch and ubuntu) currently system is dual booting windows and Fedora. The issue is more frequent in Linux than in Windows.
• Disabling Hardware acceleration didn't help, videos in browser and in players both causes crash.
• Also tried to limit the temperature of processor but the issue seems to related to GPU part of processor.
• Tried running the laptop without battery but the issue persist.
• Also updated the BIOS.
• The crash doesn't always happens on 1st video playback but on 2nd or 3rd.

Any help is appreciated, only making this posts after trying multiple drivers and OS.

My Laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad s540-15IWL , on Windows 11 64bit detailed specs may be found here (however, I upgraded my ssd to a larger one and the ram to 20 gb in total, but I doubt that is relevant).
My problems started a while back, as I was speaking to a friend using my bluetooth headphones, then opted to connect it through the audio jack for better quality. It suddenly stopped working (I forgot to turn off the bluetooth before connecting), neither the bluetooth nor the jack were working. Resetting the bluetooth connection seemed to work, but the jack wouldn't work (the headphones wouldn't be detected and the soudn would play through internal speakers, even though the headphones worked normally on other devices). I then tried to reinstall the driver, multiple times, to no avail. I downloaded the codec from Realtek's website, and that seemed to work for a while, but it would stop working every restart and I'd have to reinstall the .exe I had downloaded from the manufacturer's website.
I found many duplicates of the Realtek (R) Audio device (and microphone, so deleted them). I have spent much of today trying to install and reinstall the drivers. I believe the speaker defaulted to Microsoft's audioendpoint.inf file, but the audio driver for the USB/Jack won't work. Throughout the many different trials today (including recreating the steps above that got it temporarily working) wouldn't budge. I went back to a restore point a couple weeks back (but after the initial conflict), and again, the audio jack still wouldn't detect the headphones (but I could tell the jack was functionally working through static sounds in the headphones).
At this point, I'm unsure what to do now except for a reinstall of Windows 11. I'm also unsure what to do about the audioendpoint.inf driver since that is not allowing me to replace it with the manufacturer's driver, and anytime I would manually try to update the driver it would either tell me it couldn't detect any compatible drivers, or it would tell me that the best driver is installed.
I would prefer to be able to fix this issue without a clean reinstall, just because of the inconvenience, so I am hoping you would help. (I know my files would be recovered, but I don't want to resetup and reinstall the many programs and preferences I rely on).

So I just got my Soundblaster X4 in the mail and I was ecstatic... that was until I plugged it all in and lo and behold I got no sound out of my speakers. I'm trying to use the sbx4 with my Denon s510 and my pc.
​
The Wiring:
So i have the sbx4 powered with the usb c that it came with and i am using the optical out on the sbx4 wired to the optical in on my Denon s510. Im wondering if im lacking something or just wiring it wrong. The exact cable I'm using is the optical out and in that match the optical out on the sbx4. On my Pc I have the ," speaker sbx4" chosen and windows shows that the audio is on but i get no sound. What am I doing wrong? Also The Denon s510 is connected to the PC via HDMI.
The drivers are up to date and at this point I'm at a loss. What do I do kind Audio wizards?
edit: P.s. definitely trying to use 5.1 surround sound if that wasn't clear.
edit2: P.P.S. I just plugged in the sbx4 the same way into my other setup, similar equipment and it worked without a problem. The differences are display port direct from Pc to monitor so no hdmi. also the AV receiver is a Denon s540 instead of a s510. So I plugged in the Optical out out of the Sbx4 to Optical in on the receiver and windows 11 on this setup( never mentioned windows 10 on first setup). Will keep working on making it work to my original setup. Thnx and any help helps.

Hello, I have had my Lenovo Ideapad S540 for about two years now, and a while back, after upgrading to Windows 11, the touchpad stopped working. At first, I just restarted my laptop, but that did not work. Then I just tried to reset the laptop completely, but that did not work. I went to the device manager and looked for hidden devices, but no touchpad driver was shown. I watched a tutorial on how to fix this, and they told me to go to the Lenovo website and install the respective driver for the touchpad. I did that, restarted, and the touchpad was still not working. I went to the device manager again, and the touchpad driver I previously installed was there, but then a couple of minutes later, it would just disappear. I then tried to install the touchpad driver from the terminal, but that also did not work. I have watched so many tutorials on how to fix this error, but none of the methods worked. I then assumed it was a hardware error, so I took it to a professional to get it checked out. He opened the computer up, and the touchpad was connected just fine. He was confused about why the touchpad was not working and gave the computer back. Since I cannot fix this issue, I have been using a mouse, and it just seems so inconvenient. Especially since the Ideapad is a slim laptop and I don't want to carry a mouse with me everywhere. I was wondering if anyone else has faced this issue when upgrading to Windows 11, or in general. And I was wondering if anyone knows alternate methods to fix this touchpad issue.

​
For context I am on a laptop with:
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1650 with Max-Q design.
CPU: Intel-Core i7-8565U 1.8GHz
RAM: 12GB
​
The issue I have has been here for a while but has severely increased in frequency and intensity. The issues I face are:

1. Mouse stutters when used outside of games (ex. browsing, doing work). Not too bad but irritating.
2. In game (BattleBit, GTA V, Minecraft, CSGO) very bad performance compared to normally. I would say a reduction in FPS that makes games not enjoyable.
3. FPS stutters in games for no specific reason. ex drop from 120fps to 30fps and then goes back to 120fps within 3 seconds. Also sometimes the lag isn't like a screen freezing but the visuals going into slow-motion for the amount of time of the frame drop.

​
These issues has been here for a while but got much worse when I updated to the latest NVIDIA drivers for my GPU. Before these issues I would hit over 100fps on GTA V with default settings for my laptop. Same with the other games like minecraft where I with some FPS optimization could hit 500fps.
No external damage has been done to my laptop. So the issue is probably internal.
​
Methods I have tried to fix frame drop issues have been:
- Updating drivers
- Clearing shader cache
- cleaning disk space
- reinstalling games
​
If someone could help me figure this one out I would be very grateful. Thanks.

Hi everyone. I’ve been experiencing an issue with my new Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i and CalDigit TS4 dock where it continuously connects and disconnects when using the laptop’s TB4 port.
Curiously, if you connect a different power source into the other USB-C port at the same time, the dock starts behaving normally. At first, I thought this was because I was using the proprietary Lenovo 140W USB-C charger, but it also works with a 3rd party 100W PD 3.0 USB-C wall adapter.
I hooked up a USB tester hoping to find some clues. Here is the observed sequence of events:

1. PD is negotiated
2. The dock briefly connects and the meter jumps to 30-65W
3. The dock disconnects

There are two PD contracts that I've seen it land on:

1. PD 3.0 – 98W Max – Target: 20V 3.25A 65W
2. PD 3.0 – 60W Max – Target: 20V 3.00A 60W

I was also able to source an 11th Gen Ideapad S540 with TB4 and it doesn’t experience the same issue. The tester shows that it negotiates:

1. PD 3.0 – 98W Max – Target: 20V 4.75A 95W.

My understanding of the USB-C and PD protocols is shaky at best, so I can't tell whether this looks like a drivefirmware issue, or a hardware defect. I’d greatly appreciate any feedback.
P.S. I’ve already covered off all the basics: Windows, BIOS, chipset and manufacturer drivers, and tested different TB4 cables under 1m length.

Hey Reddit! I picked up Tales of Arise in the Steam summer sale this week, and I’ve had a fantastic time with the game. I’m currently in the endgame, which is why this post is spoilered, and I’ve just reached Rena.
However, I have a small issue that is currently ongoing. After fighting a subquest boss in the first accessible area, I entered a large circular elevator room that descended and started a battle. I had no trouble with the enemies, but now the fight is still going without any new enemies spawning.
I initially thought it was just because I’m slightly over-levelled and the elevator is on a timer, but it’s been half an hour and the battle is still going.
I can’t flee, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to quickload my last autosave without going to the main menu. I’m also not sure how much progress I’ll lose if I do this. I’m now pretty sure the game is softlocked.
I’m running the game on a Lenovo IdeaPad S540 with an intel i5 with 8GB RAM and a Nvidia MX250 with 2GB VRAM. I have the latest graphics drivers, and this is the first issue I’ve had in the forty plus hours I’ve been playing.
Any help would be very much appreciated
Cheers!

Currently my dailydriver is a Lenovo s540 13" with an Atheros N WifiCard, running the FSF approved distro PureOS. I also have av Lenovo T400 which is running Libreboot. Obviously I care a lot about privacy and Free Software.
I also would really like to make the switch to an ARM based computer, but there is not a lot to choose from, at least not if you want something with descent specs. So my question is this, what do you guys consider to be most open, my current setup (Lenovo s540 with N standard WiFi Card) running PureOS but with a proprietary UEFI BIOS, or a M2 Mac running AsahiLinux with open drivers, but with hardware running proprietary firmware?

I have 2 usb-c ports on my laptop. I have a usb-c hub that I use to connect to most of my peripherals. I had disconnected from the hub and was using my laptop earlier today when my audio stopped working. This has happened to me before and my usual fix is to uninstall+reinstall audio drivers via device manager. I did this, but my restart had a blue restart screen instead of my user color. I didn't think much about it and my laptop continued to function normally with the audio fixed. Now when I go to reconnect to my usb-c hub, my monitor does not detect anything. The usb-c hub works fine with another laptop. The ethernet and usb ports on the usb-c hub also work fine.
Things I've tried:

• Different HDMI cable
• Different display
• Using the other port on my laptop
• Removing all display and usb related drivers I could find in device manager

Nothing seems to work. My usb-c hub also has a VGA port and that also refuses to work. Any ideas on how to fix this?
​
TLDR: laptop restarted and now VGA and HDMI ports on usb-c hub won't function while everything else does
