A few words about the status of this bug.

I do respect your wish to NOT «reopen» it. However, the qualification
«resolved» is simply not right - the bug is far from resolved. That's why, I
have changed the status of the bug to «reported» instead of «resolved».

However, as you suggest, I am sharing now this bug «downstream». It is not
possible, according to you, to solve the issue at the level of KDE.
«Downstream» means in my case: experts and experienced users of Kubuntu -
especially those who deal with WIFI and Bluetooth. I have already started a
conversation with a few amongst them about this issue. However, before sharing
this report more widely amongst Kubuntu experts and users, I need to make this
report more complete. That's why, I have added some extra screeenshots as well
as this 3 May update.

I need to add here two things more. First of all, it has become clear to me
that at my system, there is a similar problem with Bluetooth. That's why, I
deal with it in more detail in this update.

Finally - terminal reports indeed do point at «hard blocks» for both WIFI and
Bluetooth. Also a few Kubuntu expert users I spoke with so far, think in the
same direction, which I understand. On the other hand - Only a few weeks ago, I
have been working with Kubuntu 22.04.4 LTS at exactly the same laptop with the
same hardware and the same BIOS settings. Then, WIFI worked out of the box and
Bluetooth with some hiccups.   I am really not sure whether «hard blocks» are
the core issue. More about this here below in this paragraph.

WHAT IS THE CORE ISSUE? HARD BLOCKS AND/OR SOMETHING ELSE?
(..)»

@ Kubuntu expert users.

After checking the settings related to WIFI (and Bluetooth), I ended up filing
a bug report at KDE:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486368

According to the feedback I got from KDE experts after doing so, the problem is
real. However, those experts say it cannot be solved at the side of KDE. It
needs to be solved «downstream», so at the side of Kubuntu in our case. My
question in this context: how and where exactly can I file a bug report in such
a way, that it will be read and dealt with by Kubuntu expert users who deal
with WIFI and Bluetooth?

A complete update I'll publish here in a few hours.



THE PROBLEM IN BRIEF.


So far, I do not manage to get WIFI enabled by the useful steps at a fresh
install of Kubuntu 24.04 LTS, at  this laptop:
Lenovo Thinkpad X230 i5, along with 4 GB RAM, 250 GB SSD. A quick internet
search clarifies me that I am not the only one who deals with this problem.

I do work now with wired internet. However, this wired connection does not help
me to get the WIFI enabled. Ticking the box for enabling WIFI is not possible.
The same applies for Bluetooth. You can see it at the screenshots I have sent
along with this bug report:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486368

That's why, I have looked for methods to get both WIFI and Bluetooth enabled
via the command line. I do get useful info like that. However, so far, I do not
manage to get WIFI and Bluetooth enabled. Here below, I share with you a
command line output report.

The button combination FN -F5 is seemlingly aimed at toggling WIFI. However,
nothing happens. When alternating this button combination with the terminal
command connmanctl enable wifi, I keep getting this feedback: wifi is not
available.

bas@Camino:~$ connmanctl enable wifi
wifi is not available

Weird detail: at Kubuntu 22.04.4 LTS, I did not have such an issue. WIFI worked
simply.

Of course, I'll check all such options at such forums. However,  when I worked
with Kubuntu 22.04.4 LTS at exactly the same device, I WAS able to work with
WIFI - then, it was no problem to enable it.

I understand and respect this opinion. However, please clarify me: what means,
in my situation, «downstream»? Kubuntu?

I understand and respect this opinion. However, clarify what means «downstream»
in this situation - Kubuntu, the system where I stumbled on this bug? If some
useful info will come in from there, I'll share it here.  May be, also other
Kubuntu users will subscribe to this bug - I am not the only one who

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - UPDATE THURSDAY 2 MAY 2024.


Bug 486369, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486369, has been remarked as a
duplicate of this one. However, the text of that «duplicate» bug is much more
complete then this one before me submitting this update. Anyway, it was not my
intention to submit two bugs about the same issue. But because of some mistake
at my side, I unintentionally submitted two bug reports.

Here below, I share an edited and updated version of the bug report that is
complete in my opinion, hower a «duplicate».


SUMMARY
==
So far, I do not manage to get WIFI enabled by the useful steps at a fresh
install of Kubuntu 24.04 LTS, at  this laptop:
Lenovo Thinkpad X230 i5, along with 4 GB RAM, 250 GB SSD. A quick internet
search clarifies me that I am not the only one who deals with this problem.

I do work now with wired internet. However, this wired connection does not help
me to get the WIFI enabled. Ticking the box for enabling WIFI is not possible.
You can see it at the screenshot I send with this report.

That's why, I have looked for methods to get WIFI enabled via the command line.
No result. At this output report, you can see why:

https://www.baeldung.com/linux/disable-wireless-network

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
=
1. The graphical check down under - trying to tick the box to enable WIFI. See
also attached screenshot.
2. Command line checks summarised here - see here above. See also the two links
for more info.


OBSERVED RESULT
==
Both checks did NOT end up in enabling WIFI.

EXPECTED RESULT
==
Enabling WIFI should need to be possible via either command line or the
graphical approach.

Yesterday, Wednesday 1 May 2024, a comment came in about this passage in my
report:

> bas@Camino:~$ rfkill list
> 0: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth
> Soft blocked: yes
> Hard blocked: yes
> 1: phy0: Wireless LAN
> Soft blocked: no
> Hard blocked: yes

This is the comment I point at:

«(...)

If it is hardblocked, it cannot be enabled in software. E.g., see
https://askubuntu.com/questions/98702/how-to-unblock-something-listed-in-rfkill

Unfortunately this seems like a downstream configuration issue and I would
suggest asking for help on the distribution forums.
(...)»

I get this point.  It needs to be resolved  «downstream», at Kubuntu related
forums in my case.  However, I still consider this bug as unresolved. That's
why, I reopen it. 

I gonna ask for advise at two of such Kubuntu forums. I'll point  at both of
them at this bug report. If some useful advise comes in, I'll share it also
here.

Yours.

Bug ID: 486369
   Summary: WIFI cannot be enabled at Kubuntu 24.04 LTS
Classification: Applications
   Product: systemsettings
   Version: 5.27.11
  Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
  Severity: normal
  Priority: NOR
 Component: kcm_networkmanagement
  Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
  Reporter: basro...@gmail.com
CC: jgrul...@redhat.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
So far, I do not manage to get WIFI enabled by the useful steps at a fresh
install of Kubuntu 24.04 LTS, at  this laptop:
Lenovo Thinkpad X230 i5, along with 4 GB RAM, 250 GB SSD. A quick internet
search clarifies me that I am not the only one who deals with this problem.

I do work now with wired internet. However, this wired connection does not help
me to get the WIFI enabled. Ticking the box for enabling WIFI is not possible.
You can see it at the screenshot I send with this report. 

That's why, I have looked for methods to get WIFI enabled via the command line.
No result. At this output report, you can see why:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. The graphical check down under - trying to tick the box to enable WIFI. See
also attached screenshot.
2. Command line checks summarised here - see here above. See also the two links
for more info.


OBSERVED RESULT
Both checks did NOT end up in enabling WIFI.

EXPECTED RESULT
Enabling WIFI should need to be possible via either command line or the
graphical approach.

Often, when trying to select an address from the address book, KMail crashes. I
need to restart and retry several times before I can pick an address from there
and send the mail. 

To this report, I attach three .txt files. Each file is a report generated by
the command line, after starting Kmail from there. By doing so, I try to
provide you with info from three crashes that have happened today, 7 March
2017. However it may be  I have been stumbling on this problem already a few
months.
