=== brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [10:40] Hello. [10:40] Trying IRC for the first time. [10:55] hello [10:57] hello Iolo [11:56] hello [15:07] Where or what is the command given when I turn on or off the hardware switch for wireless? [15:09] 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] so, you already know the command "rfkill" [15:10] yes [15:12] and "rfkill unblock wlan" has no effect after using the hardware switch? [15:12] None [15:13] 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] enabled* [15:14] no idea then [15:14] The volume keys are f9 f10 and f11, and they work perfectly. [15:15] searching the web for your laptop model + f12 gives no helpful results? [15:16] None that I haven't tried. My browser history for the last five hours is nothing but searches related to this. [15:17] I'm having the same problem, no clue what to do [15:17] the switch should work before you even boot any system, or? like, when you open the BIOS/UEFI config screen [15:18] "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] well, maybe ask in #ubuntu or ##hardware [15:19] it's not something specific to xubuntu or xfce [15:20] 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. [15:23] Oh well, I'll try again tomorrow. It's the end of my shift, and I need to go to bed.
