Airplane Mode is On and can't change ir

**murathoti** · May 11th, 2020

Guys,

I am not new to Unix flavored systems because as part of my job I do a lot of work on these systems. But two days back I installed Ubuntu 20.04 on my laptop alongside Windows 10. As I logged in I saw that the Airplane Mode was on. I tried to switch it off but it was not possible. I also saw that I was unable to switch on the WiFi. The built-in Wireless Adapter (from Railink) is no longer working because of some hardware malfunction and so I use an external Wireless Adapter by Leoxsys. The adapter works very well with Windows but with Ubuntu it is no longer working and this initial problems are making me go back to Windows which I hate to do so. I want to stay put on Linux and enjoy the great features it offers. Kindly let me know what all information do you need from me so that you may be able to give some solution to my problem. I tried a lot of posts in the forum but none of them worked. Kindly help me out.

Regards,
Arthur.

You've probably gone now, but all you had to do was to bump your thread every 12-24 hours. That way you bring it up to the top and show that you have continuing interest. Unanswered threads more than 24 hours old tend to be ignored because of the number of drive-bys we get - people who ask a question and then are never seen again. You left your thread for more than four days before posting again.

Now that I have bumped the thread again may I expect a response now. I suppose a newbie needs more care than this. Anyways thanks for your response, at least I got one.
