I can't turn on WI-FI because Airplane Mode is Hard Blocked
How do i turn off Airplane Mode?
I had to step away from my Laptop for awhile so instead of powering it off i suspended it. When i woke it up Airplane Mode was on and I'm unable to turn it off, or turn WI-FI on.
I ran a diagnostic and here are the results, I'm new with Ubuntu and wasn't sure which part of the diagnostic results to post, so i posted everything.
