Hello linux4mint,

thank you for the informations. You have an Ralink wifi and the right driver is loaded. So the problem can be, that something blocks your wifi. Please show the result of the following command:

Code: Select all

rfkill list all

By the way: when you paste terminal outputs as text here, you can highlight the text, press the </> button above the text box, so it will appear in a better readable codeblock. You can also edit your previous post in that way.

[linux4mint]

Dear HAWR

the output is

Code: Select all

$ rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: yes

Thanks

Hello linux4mint,

it is a hard block. When I've found the right manual, you have a wireless key at F12 or around with the typical wireless sign. Please try for example Fn+F12 (or the key with the wireless sign) to enable wifi.

Another possibilty is, that wifi is disabled in Setup Utility/BIOS. Please reboot and when the new boot begins, press immediately Esc and then F10.

Already tried , but nothing happend.. the strange part is, the wifi can easily working on Windows 10 OS...

Didn't find any option to enable the same on BIOS settings..

By the way my Laptop model is Hp 15-r007tx.

Hello linux4mint,

do you have a dual boot with Windows 10? If yes, it is possible, that Windows holds the wifi in an unclear state, so it isn't accessible in Linux. You should
try disable "Fast Startup" in Windows:

Make a complete shutdown and wait a few minutes before powering back up again and boot to Linux.

Already disabled the same in my Windows OS.

another thing i have marked in my Linux Mint os is my Bluetooth connection also not working along with Wifi....

Thanks

Hello linux4mint,

did the wifi worked, when you've tested it in the live system before installing Linux Mint? Did it work directly after the installation? I ask because of a possible problem with the 5.3 kernels.

I've seen a case with a hard blocked wifi, where the solution was to shutdown the laptop, remove the power cable, remove the battery, wait about 10 minutes and start again.

[sleeper12]

It wouldn't hurt to try:

Code: Select all

 rfkill unblock all 

Or

Code: Select all

 rfkill unblock wifi

Already used these commands...
Nothing happened..

Thanks

Can you try the suggestions here? It is very similar to your device issue.

[sleeper12]

Does 'rfkill list all' still say hard blocked? Maybe it's unblocked now & there's a different problem?

Did you try what HAWR suggested:

'I've seen a case with a hard blocked wifi, where the solution was to shutdown the laptop, remove the power cable, remove the battery, wait about 10 minutes and start again."

You might also try holding the power button down for a minute before you start again.

Dear sleeper12,

I have already performed several-time this procedure, but nothing happened.
