 Posted: Mon Aug 15, 2022 12:04 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Disabling rfkill on the boot |
 |
|
Hello everyone, how are you doing ? 
Just want to ask quick question here, because couldn't find any direct manual on this topic neither in Gentoo wiki nor on this forum, sorry if I missed it somewhere.
How could I disable rfkill by default ?
Because it's soft blocking my wifi and bluetooth everytime that system boots and it's not very convenient to 'rfkill unblock all' eveytime that I turn on my Laptop
I'm using OpenRC init system. Should I configure something in /etc/rc.conf or /etc/conf.d ?
.
Thanks a lot for any insights !

alexgor,
Welcome to the forums.
See /etc/local.d/README
Essentially, you write a script that does
That might be considered a bit hacky, so I'm sure that someone else will be along soon to put me right. :)

This is strange behavior.
Try
| Code: |
cat >> /etc/local.d/rfkill.start << EOF
#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/rfkill unblock all
EOF
chmod +x /etc/local.d/rfkill.start
rc-update add local default

alamahant,
That's feeding a man a fish to feed him for a day.
local should be in the default runlevel already but it does not harm to check.

Thanks again for the help !
Adding rfkill.start script to the /etc/local.d did help. Now rfkill isn't blocking anything after boot. |
