WIFI issue solved, however Bluetooth not yet. This video has helped to solve the WIFI issue:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvzFYP8WjXo A tiny switch at the front side of the laptop had turned off the WIFI function. I switched the switch back to the on positition - from that moment on, it was no problem any more to enable WIFI. Terminal tests points in the same direction...... bas@Camino:~$ iw dev phy#0 Interface wlp3s0 ifindex 3 wdev 0x1 addr 9c:4e:36:aa:5c:d0 ssid ArcoBaleno type managed channel 11 (2462 MHz), width: 20 MHz, center1: 2462 MHz txpower 15.00 dBm multicast TXQ: qsz-byt qsz-pkt flows drops marks overlmt hashcol tx-bytes tx-packets 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 bas@Camino:~$ sudo ip link set wlp3s0 up bas@Camino:~$ Now I check both WIFI and Bluethooth... bas@Camino:~$ rfkill list 0: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no For WIFI ALL blocks have been eliminated now - the hard and the soft ones. There is no hardware problem anymore that blocks possibilities to enable WIFI.Software settings are also OK now apparently. Bluetooth has no hard blocks anymore - no problems from the point of view of hardware. However, there are still one or a few problems in the realm of software - soft blocks. Now, I focus more on Bluetooth. bas@Camino:~$ bluetoothctl -v bluetoothctl: 5.72 bas@Camino:~$ Apparently, there is Bluetooth software present. Another test delivers the following output.... bas@Camino:~$ systemctl status bluetooth ● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Fri 2024-05-10 22:24:26 CEST; 1h 16min ago Docs: man:bluetoothd(8) Main PID: 2378 (bluetoothd) Status: "Running" Tasks: 1 (limit: 4221) Memory: 988.0K (peak: 2.9M swap: 392.0K swap peak: 408.0K) CPU: 110ms CGroup: /system.slice/bluetooth.service └─2378 /usr/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd mei 10 22:24:26 ConnectON bluetoothd[2378]: Starting SDP server mei 10 22:24:26 ConnectON bluetoothd[2378]: src/plugin.c:plugin_init() System does not support csip plugin mei 10 22:24:26 ConnectON bluetoothd[2378]: profiles/audio/micp.c:micp_init() D-Bus experimental not enabled mei 10 22:24:26 ConnectON bluetoothd[2378]: src/plugin.c:plugin_init() System does not support micp plugin mei 10 22:24:26 ConnectON bluetoothd[2378]: src/plugin.c:plugin_init() System does not support vcp plugin mei 10 22:24:26 ConnectON bluetoothd[2378]: src/plugin.c:plugin_init() System does not support mcp plugin mei 10 22:24:26 ConnectON bluetoothd[2378]: src/plugin.c:plugin_init() System does not support bass plugin mei 10 22:24:26 ConnectON bluetoothd[2378]: src/plugin.c:plugin_init() System does not support bap plugin mei 10 22:24:27 ConnectON bluetoothd[2378]: Bluetooth management interface 1.22 initialized mei 10 22:24:27 ConnectON bluetoothd[2378]: src/profile.c:register_profile() :1.55 tried to register 0000111e> lines 1-22/22 (END) Now, I break down this output in two parts.... This is the first, upper part.... «(...) bas@Camino:~$ systemctl status bluetooth ● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Fri 2024-05-10 22:24:26 CEST; 1h 16min ago Docs: man:bluetoothd(8) Main PID: 2378 (bluetoothd) Status: "Running" Tasks: 1 (limit: 4221) Memory: 988.0K (peak: 2.9M swap: 392.0K swap peak: 408.0K) CPU: 110ms CGroup: /system.slice/bluetooth.service └─2378 /usr/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd (...)» This looks goods apparently, unless some expert perceives here a problem. Now, we take a look at the second and last part of the output report.... «(...) mei 10 22:24:26 ConnectON bluetoothd[2378]: Starting SDP server mei 10 22:24:26 ConnectON bluetoothd[2378]: src/plugin.c:plugin_init() System does not support csip plugin mei 10 22:24:26 ConnectON bluetoothd[2378]: profiles/audio/micp.c:micp_init() D-Bus experimental not enabled mei 10 22:24:26 ConnectON bluetoothd[2378]: src/plugin.c:plugin_init() System does not support micp plugin mei 10 22:24:26 ConnectON bluetoothd[2378]: src/plugin.c:plugin_init() System does not support vcp plugin mei 10 22:24:26 ConnectON bluetoothd[2378]: src/plugin.c:plugin_init() System does not support mcp plugin mei 10 22:24:26 ConnectON bluetoothd[2378]: src/plugin.c:plugin_init() System does not support bass plugin mei 10 22:24:26 ConnectON bluetoothd[2378]: src/plugin.c:plugin_init() System does not support bap plugin mei 10 22:24:27 ConnectON bluetoothd[2378]: Bluetooth management interface 1.22 initialized mei 10 22:24:27 ConnectON bluetoothd[2378]: src/profile.c:register_profile() :1.55 tried to register 0000111e> lines 1-22/22 (END) (...)» Is this is a summary of the «soft blocks» that still prevent Bluetooth from functioning properly? Still, I cannot enable it. Does this error report deliver any keys for a possible solution? I tried again this command: systemctl status bluetooth. Output report exactly the same. Now, I look at installed software: bas@Camino:~$ sudo apt list --installed | grep blue [sudo] password for bas: WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts. bluedevil/noble,now 4:5.27.11-0ubuntu2 amd64 [installed,automatic] bluez-cups/noble,now 5.72-0ubuntu5 amd64 [installed,automatic] bluez-obexd/noble,now 5.72-0ubuntu5 amd64 [installed,automatic] bluez/noble,now 5.72-0ubuntu5 amd64 [installed,automatic] libbluetooth3/noble,now 5.72-0ubuntu5 amd64 [installed,automatic] libkf5bluezqt-data/noble,noble,now 5.115.0-0ubuntu6 all [installed,automatic] libkf5bluezqt6/noble,now 5.115.0-0ubuntu6 amd64 [installed,automatic] libspa-0.2-bluetooth/noble,now 1.0.5-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] qml-module-org-kde-bluezqt/noble,now 5.115.0-0ubuntu6 amd64 [installed,automatic] bas@Camino:~$ One line seemingly points at some error: «(...) WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts. (...)» For the rest, the above report seemingly looks OK. Now, I look at the «bluetooth adapter» and connectivity issues. sudo hciconfig hci0 preset bas@Camino:~$ sudo hciconfig hci0 preset Can't get device info: No such device Is this «device» some missing software? Or yet another hardware issue? bas@Camino:~$ sudo systemctl list-units | grep -i bluetooth bluetooth.service loaded active running Bluetooth service bas@Camino:~$ Something is running apparently. Apparently, I am somewhere half way on the way to some solution. However, I still cannot enable WIFI. ** Summary changed: - Cannot enable WIFI & Bluethooth at fresh install of Kubuntu 24.04 LTS. «Hard blocks» or something else? + WIFI & Bluethooth at fresh install of Kubuntu 24.04 LTS. «Hard blocks» gone. «Soft blocks» for Bluetooth only. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2065074 Title: WIFI & Bluethooth at fresh install of Kubuntu 24.04 LTS. «Hard blocks» gone. «Soft blocks» for Bluetooth only.
