Wifi and bluetooth disabled at boot

[Jamairo]

Sorry if I opening a new topic while this subject was already discussed elsewhere. I tried looking for it, but did not found any solutions.

So I encountered a problem with wifi and bluetooth. After (re)boot wifi and bluetooth stay turned off. I have to manually activate both. I dont want that. It saves me 2 second of my precious life after every reboot. Would love to spend them differently.

Also when I tilt my screen in tablet mode, both wifi and bluetooth are turned off. I have a HP ENvy x360 14 inch.

Is there any fix for this error? I'm on the latest build of Zorin OS of course

Thanks for helping me to resolve this problem. I just switched from Windows 11 and really loving it already, a part from a occasional freeze up when a lot of firefox tabs are active.

Keep up the good work, lads

Hi and welcome.

Please open a Terminal (just type the word terminal in the menu search bar and press the Enter key). Once there copy the following command by using the copy to clipboard icon to the right, go to your open Terminal window, right-click and paste then press Enter key. Post back the results please.

inxi -n

For bluetooth:

inxi -Eaz

In this thread It seems to be a airplane mode which is turned on at boot. But unfortunately no solution found there:

HP Envy 15 x360 Airplane mode enabled at startup

Hi there, I have the aforementioned laptop and I'm running 18 Core on it. Zorin starts up with airplane mode enabled and the only way to turn it off is with the keyboard shortcut. The "nmcli radio wifi on" does not disable airplane mode/enable wifi. Clicking the airplane mode toggle in the control panel does not work either. What I'm wondering is if there is a way to issue the keyboard command at startup to disable airplane mode. Thanks!

Perhaps it would help to add those commands to autostart. Go to startup applications and click on add:

Name it as you like, e.g.
Disable airplane mode

And as command set

rfkill unblock all && nmcli radio all on

Then reboot and test.
If it doesn't work, try it with this command

sh -c 'rfkill unblock all; nmcli radio all on'

Here is a picture from an older Zorin version. I would try the other commands first as shown but there you see how the app looks.

Airplane mode enabled automatically on power up

open startup apps add a new startup and write the following command in the command box nmcli radio wifi on, it should look something like this picture, then click add. now ur airplane mode should be disabled at the bootup [Screenshot from 2023-05-14 22-15-57]

Welcome to the Forum!

Are Secure Boot and Fast Boot in BIOS disabled? Does Your System run in Wayland or X11? You can check that with the Terminal Command echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

Open the File Manager and type in the Bar /etc/bluetooth/ and press Enter. Then open the File main.conf with the Text Editor and look if there is AutoEnable set to true

It says wayland after the command

The main.conf says AutoEnable=true

@Jamairo

It says wayland after the command

Then try it with switching to Xorg and see if it behaves different.

To switch, go to the Login Screen. Click there on Your Profile so that the Passowrd Field appears. When it is appeared, You should see a Gear Icon in the bottom right Corner. Click on it and choose the Option ''Zorin Desktop on Xorg'' and then log in.

Did you try it with adding the commands to startup applications?

Create a new entry there and then click on "Add" and reboot and test. If it doesn´t help, remove it from autostart.
You can also try it just with the command rfkill unblock all.
