I have a dual booted system with Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I can easily connect to my home WiFi with Windows but with Ubuntu I get the following error:
Activation of network connection failed.
My home WiFi is protected with mac filter and I have added the mac address of my pc.
I tried solution of this post with no luck.
One thing I noticed when I turn off my WiFi in ubuntu the system turns on Flight mode automatically and when I turn off Flight mode bluetooth gets turned on.
I know I didn't post much info the reason being I am new to ubuntu so don't know what else to include please help.
Edit:
As requested in comments (command: lspci -knn | grep Network -A3

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [10ec:b723]
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [103c:81c1]
Kernel driver in use: rtl8723be
Kernel modules: rtl8723be
command: sudo modprobe -r rtl8723be && sudo modprobe rtl8723be
print nothing
and command rfkill list
prints following:
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
tried second time and got this as output:
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
note that I can connect to my mobile internet through hotspot without any problem.
lspci -knn | grep Network -A3
then edit your question above and copy&paste the result in there.sudo modprobe -r rtl8723be && sudo modprobe rtl8723be
and it that doesn't fire up then post the result ofrfkill list
for us.
