| rohang02 | Trying IRC for the first time. | 10:40 |

| KdeKris | Where or what is the command given when I turn on or off the hardware switch for wireless? | 15:07 |
| KdeKris | The laptop I'm working on has f12 as the wireless hardware switch, but "rfkill list" shows that wireless is hard blocked. No matter what key combo I try, it won't unblock. I'm pretty certain that I need to manually assign the key combo, because it isn't assigned in settings anywhere. | 15:09 |
| brainwash | so, you already know the command "rfkill" | 15:09 |
| KdeKris | yes | 15:10 |
| brainwash | and "rfkill unblock wlan" has no effect after using the hardware switch? | 15:12 |
| KdeKris | None | 15:12 |
| KdeKris | the hardware switch is the f12 key, and has an orange led on it that doesn't change, no matter what I try. It's supposed to turn blue when enabledd | 15:13 |
| KdeKris | enabled* | 15:13 |
| brainwash | no idea then | 15:14 |
| KdeKris | The volume keys are f9 f10 and f11, and they work perfectly. | 15:14 |
| brainwash | searching the web for your laptop model + f12 gives no helpful results? | 15:15 |
| KdeKris | None that I haven't tried. My browser history for the last five hours is nothing but searches related to this. | 15:16 |
| kumool | I'm having the same problem, no clue what to do | 15:17 |
| brainwash | the switch should work before you even boot any system, or? like, when you open the BIOS/UEFI config screen | 15:17 |
| KdeKris | "rfkill list" shows that phy1: wireless LAN is soft block toggled on and off when I hit f12, but hard block never changes. | 15:18 |
| brainwash | well, maybe ask in #ubuntu or ##hardware | 15:18 |
| brainwash | it's not something specific to xubuntu or xfce | 15:19 |
| KdeKris | I asked here, because I think I need to assign the key manually to toggle the hard block. However, I need to know what command is run in the background when the key is pressed. | 15:20 |
| KdeKris | Oh well, I'll try again tomorrow. It's the end of my shift, and I need to go to bed. | 15:23 |
