change permalinks to 'Postname' cause Page Not Found

I have a query to fetch all post from a custom post type device and I want to display 3 post per page. using the next and previous link, I able to navigate the next page where another 3 post can see. it work perfectly with the default permalink which is

  //the default permalink of wordpress
http:mywebsite/?p=123

and I need to change it into Post name for SEO purposes which is like this:

http:mywebsite/sample-post/

and then suddenly the problem appear.

I've searching and reading more blog/article but I can't find any helpful suggestion. I'm so stuck with this problem it give me a headache.

by the way I used this query:

   <?php
     if (have_posts()) : {
     $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
     query_posts('showposts=3&post_type=advice'.'&paged='.$paged);} ?>

      <ul class="adviceLandingPage">

      <?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

       <li>
         <span><?php the_title(); ?></span>
         <span><?php $excerpt = get_the_excerpt(); echo string_limit_words($excerpt,20); ?></span>

       </li>

       <?php endwhile; ?>
          <li class="navigation">
             <?php posts_nav_link(); ?>
          </li>
       </u>
     <?php endif; ?>

thank you for any suggestion.

Edit:

when I navigate to the next page, where I assume to see the next 3 post, this is the error Page not found.

and this is the .htaccess after changing the permalink to %postname%

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /bryan/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /bryan/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Switch the Permalinks Setting This is where you go to your WordPress Dashboard → Settings → Permalinks. Then, you need to choose Post Name and click on the button Save Changes. Yes, that's all.

What happens if I change my permalink structure?

Changing WordPress permalinks can negatively impact your search rankings, break any existing links external sites might be used to funnel traffic to your site, and break existing links you might be using on your site that lead visitors to that page.

Run the following commands

NB: The $ Is not part of the commands

$ sudo a2enmod rewrite

$ cd /var/www/html

$ ls -al

$ sudo touch .htaccess

$ sudo nano .htaccess

Modify your .htaccess file to look the snippet above

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

$ sudo chmod 644 .htaccess

$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

Make sure the AllowOverride All is set

<Directory "/var/www/html">
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
