I have a Ubuntu 18.04 + windows10 dual boot. Recently my ubuntu crashed and i had to run boot-repair using a live disc. Since then my wifi on ubuntu hasn't been working. However the wifi works fine on windows.

enter image description here

I made sure the WLAN is enabled in BIOS. I am using lenovo ideapad 500-15ISK. I can't turn it on from the UI, no matter how many times i try.

Also, some off my hot keys like volume up/down, mute, touchpad disable and airplane mode don't seem to be working.

I reckon if the reason for hard block is a constant airplane mode signal to the network card somehow

here is the detailed output of my network card: https://gist.github.com/fireballpoint1/52f897a9621b75468fe9d99902def3d0

I had repaired the crash using a live disc and the wifi was working fine for that. Is it possible to do something using a live disc to repair this ?

  • If the technique at the duplicate doesn't work for some reason, I'll retract the duplicate and we'll take another look. – chili555 Apr 03 '19 at 21:53
  • Make sure hotkeys are enabled in your BIOS, then hit the F7 key. See if that toggles airplane mode. – heynnema Apr 03 '19 at 22:03
  • @chili555 yeah i tried that already. didnt work. please remove duplicate tag – fireball.1 Apr 03 '19 at 22:10
  • @heynnema I tried enabling and disabling them, the hotkey makes no difference. Even my volume keys don't work – fireball.1 Apr 03 '19 at 22:11

    Try my solution at https://askubuntu.com/a/1104240/300665 remove blacklist ideapad-laptop from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf – Jeremy31 Apr 03 '19 at 22:22
