Airplane Mode

Hi Michel
Nope still can't turn off airplane mode. I'm thinking I may have to wait until a new update with the fix in it comes out. For now, I have been tethering my cell to the laptop and that allows me to get on the internet.

@Aravisian, would these commands help him ?

sudo rfkill list all and sudo rfkill unblock all

Or

sudo rfkill unblock wifi

Hi Michel
Just tried all three commands with no luck, like I said maybe I will have to wait until a new update comes out and maybe will fix the problem.

Hi
Does anyone know if Zorin is coming out with an update that will fix the Airplane Mode problem? It seems I'm not the only one with this problem. I can still get online but only if I tether my phone to my laptop for now I can live with it.

Hi Michel
I am quite embarrassed, I do not remember hitting that switch wow! I think I owe everyone an apology in the forum. I watched the video that you asked me to watch Michel and flipped the switch and the airplane mode shut off. I must have hit the switch while I was putting the laptop back in the case and not realizing it. Because I got the new update around the same time. Well if anything, I learned some things about Linux and Zorin if it means anything. Thank You for some lessons that I have learned for You and Aravisian. Maybe in the future, if someone has the same problem bring up the switch on the side of their computer that just maybe not realize the switch got hit and switched off.. Anyway Thank You for your patience in this matter.

Hi Michel
What bothers me is it is a flush-mounted switch and to move the switch? again WOW. :grin:
