After installing VirtualBox and rebooting, I lost the ability to use wifi and bluetooth. How can I fix this problem
Can you boot from an older kernel?
Do you have live usb to boot from?

For anyone coming new to this thread, prior context is here:
Hey, so I checked the BIOS and it tells me that me secure boot is disabled.
I tried using wired internet and it works! I now need help on how to precisely rollback this problem. Thanks
This command would remove all packages that you installed form the newly added virtualbox repository:
dnf repository-packages virtualbox remove
But it may not be enough to rollback all changes. Some kernel modules are also installed via dkms, I’m not sure which, but
dkms status
will tell you. THen you can use
dkms remove ModuleName --all
to remove them.
I am pretty sure it upgraded linux stuff as well. Should I not regress to an earlier version.
dnf history list
and
dnf history rollback
can help you see what has been done and roll it back. This will still not fix a configuration file corrupted by a post-install script though.
For dnf history list, I got this:
I wonder if intalling kernel-headers kernel is part of the problem
Unlikely, the kernel header are required for compiling kernel modules, but they are not involved in the running system in any way. In any case, removing them will not worsen the situation
I tried the first command, it said that it was an unknown argument
Also dkms status doesn’t print anything.
