Linux/fedora n00b here. I have fedora 41 KDE spin installed on my HP EliteBook laptop that has an airplane mode button (the f11 key). When pressed, the radios turn off as expected, but they immediately turn right back on. If I use KDE’s network manager applet and click the airplane mode toggle, that works as expected with no issues.
Booting into standard fedora 41 with Gnome (from live USB) works perfectly.
I also booted Linux Mint to further narrow the cause and it works the same as f41+KDE (i.e. key press kills the radios but they immediately turn right back on). So I tried Ubuntu 24.10 with Gnome, and sure enough, the airplane mode key press works exactly as expected.
There is something different in how Gnome handles the airplane mode key press versus how other DEs handle it, but I don’t know how to tell what’s going on or how to fix it.
I’m happy to post any system info or log output as requested, but I didn’t want to just guess and start posting a bunch of useless data.
I appreciate any help or suggestions!
