(rfkill shows hard block for phy0, which is not hard blocked on the live media). The problem occurs when I shut down the machine to boot it back up. (I noticed this because I've done it so many times). Same thing if I INSTALL any distro, it reboots and on the first session WIFi works, and if I keep rebooting it keeps working. Also, if I REBOOT from the live-media into my installed version of eOS (click restart, wait for the usb to being inactive, plug off the usb, the system boots into the hd) WiFi WORKS| The thing is that wireless WORKS when I use the Live Media on my bootable USB stick (which I'm using rn to post this) and it goes flawlessy.

My wireless (wlan) card is not connecting to the internet. Why did I go through so many? Because on every and each one of the, I had the same exact problem and I couldn't manage to find a fix. Recently I decided I wanted to change OS my Samsung NP270E5E, as Windows 10 was getting considerably slow and stuttery and I need it to be smooth enough to let me work without hiccups.Īs I had a bit of former experience with Linux, and as of right now I don't need big programs like Photoshop and similar, I opted for a ligth distro like Kubuntu, then Lubuntu, then Zorin OS and now Elementary OS.
