Public bug reported:
Problem 1:
After fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04 on a MSI P75 Creator laptop, the key
combination Fn-F10 which toggles the Airplane mode is not working anymore,
while it was working on Ububntu 22.04.
It is not a hardware problem, as this is dual boot machine and under Windows 10
everything works as expected.
When pressing the Fn-F10 key combination:
0. rfkill command does not show any change in the state of both radio devices –
wifi and bluetooth.
1. the command showkey -s|-k does not output anything
2. the command xev does doesnot output anything
3. the command evtest has the following output:
~# evtest /dev/input/event7
Input driver version is 1.0.1
Input device ID: bus 0x19 vendor 0x1 product 0x1 version 0x100
Input device name: "gpio-keys"
Supported events:
Event type 0 (EV_SYN)
Event type 5 (EV_SW)
Event code 3 (SW_RFKILL_ALL) state 0
Properties:
Testing ... (interrupt to exit)
Event: time 1725492041.076456, type 5 (EV_SW), code 3 (SW_RFKILL_ALL), value 1
Event: time 1725492041.076456, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------
but there is no change in the state of the radio devices
I think this functionality should be supported by this service:
# systemctl status | grep -i rfkill
│ │ └─8671 grep --color=auto -i rfkill
├─org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Rfkill.service
│ └─3043 /usr/libexec/gsd-rfkill
# fuser /dev/rfkill
/dev/rfkill: 1 1223 3043
I tried this, but got an error:
# gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Rfkill --object-path
/org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/Rfkill --method org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set
"org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Rfkill" "AirplaneMode" "true"
Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name
org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Rfkill was not provided by any .service files
Note: when booting to kernel recovery mode, the key combination seems to
work. rfkill command output shows that the radio devices are going in
soft blocked state and back as expected.
Problem 2:
After going to Suspend mode either by pushing the power button or the Fn-F12
key combination and resuming back the laptop to working state, the radio
devices – wifi and bluetooth are in airplane mode and there is no way to make
them work and actually the bluetooth device seems to be gone.
# rfkill
ID TYPE DEVICE SOFT HARD
1 wlan phy0 unblocked blocked
e.g. rfkill show that only the wifi adapter is recognized.
Due to problem 1 above there is no way to unblock the wifi with the key
combination Fn-F10.
I believe this is not a hardware problem as the same functionality works
flawlessly on Windows 10 on the same machine.
