Hello,
I have an HP 15-r030sq on which i started to see some problmes. From not opening anymore after sleep mode, to not connecting to wireless.
I installed Linux Ubuntu on it and i'm having a hardware problem where i can't connect on the internet on wireless because the "Airplane Mode is ON" and when i try to turn it off i get a message "Use hardware switch to turn off". I tried the harware key which is "F12" with no luck. I tried with some command lines but even that did not worked. I saw a solving method where it sayd to cover some pins on the wireless module that turn on/off the airplane mode but i could not find the pinou spreadsheet. Can someone help me out solving this issue? Thank you very much. I will post the wireless module picture aswell.
Best regards,
Mircea

Hi

When troubleshooting wireless, it's important that your system is fully updated by opening a terminal, CTRL+ALT+T. Using a wired internet connection, please run:
Code:
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
and reboot if necessary.
If the issues persist, it is recommended that you install pastebinit, by running:
Code:
sudo apt install pastebinit
This will enable the wireless script to, upon your approval, upload the obtained data to pastebin, creating at the same time a link to it in your terminal, permitting you to paste it to a forum thread.
Once that's done, download and run the wireless info script, which will gather information to help diagnose your system. You can run it using this command:
Code:
wget -N -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info/raw/master/wireless-info && \
chmod +x wireless-info && \
./wireless-info
It will create the file "wireless-info.txt" at the location it is run from, and depending on its size, an additional archive called "wireless-info.tar.gz". If you prefer, you can post the file directly to pastebin yourself. Sensitive information like MAC addresses and WPA/WEP keys are masked automatically.
If you aren't able to connect to the internet with the affected system, including via a wired connection, just navigate to
