You have been subscribed to a public bug: Laptop is an HP Pavilion dm4-3170se. Dual booting Windows 7 and ubuntu. In Windows, system boots with wireless disabled and then pressing the wireless enable button twice enables WiFi.
In ubuntu, system boots with wireless disabled and wireless enable button has no functionality either directly or in combination with the fn-key. Module hp_wmi may be the culprit? But disabling this has no effect on hardblock. reference forum post for more detailed info: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2392934&p=13772159#post13772159 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: linux-image-4.13.0-43-generic 4.13.0-43.48~16.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-43.48~16.04.1-generic 4.13.16 Uname: Linux 4.13.0-43-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.17 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu May 31 10:19:32 2018 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-05-19 (11 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20180228) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: linux-hwe UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: Incomplete ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug xenial -- wireless hardblocked and wireless enable button not functional https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1774442 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
