Why is my Debian laptop locked into airplane mode?

Why is my Debian laptop locked into airplane mode?

My Debian laptop (up-to-date) seems to have been locked into airplane mode. It worked fine just yesterday.

Plane symbol in taskbar, no available connections on hover.

Restarting/shutting down the laptop and turning it back on hasn’t fixed it, nor has clicking the plane icon with three fingers on the taskbar (which is supposed to be the toggle), nor just clicking or right-clicking the plane.

A Google search says to run this:

sudo rfkill unblock all
nmcli radio all on

But that didn’t work either (rfkill wasn’t found, and the second command didn’t fix it, though it did seem to run). I can’t find where the toggle for airplane mode is in the GUI or settings app either (KDE Plasma).

I’m able to turn on Bluetooth and connect to my phone's hotspot, but the moment I disconnect the laptop goes back on airplane mode.

There may be a physical WiFi switch. There’s a function key that looks kinda WiFi related (somewhat resembles a cell tower) but pressing it with and without FN does nothing.

How can I fix this?



Top Answer/Comment:

I managed to fix the issue with a cold reset (holding down the power button for 30-60 seconds, waiting another 30 seconds, then turning the laptop back on).
