Ubuntu – “rfkill list all” shows nothing in command line

12.04bluetoothcommand lineralinkrfkill

I'm using dual boot of Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 8.1. When I run rfkill list all it shows as follows:

:~$ rfkill list all
:~$

Please Help.

update:

Laptop model: Fujisu Lifebook LH532. It has a WiFi and a Bluetooth device(ralink rt3290). Both of them work fine in windows. In Ubuntu, I made my WiFi working by web help and tried for Bluetooth but still no luck.

Best Answer

It isn't meant to show anything if there is nothing to show. This command doesn't give a message like no wireless devices, which would be an improvement.

From the man page:

list [type]
             List the current state of all available rfkill-using devices, or
              just all of the given type.

So if there is nothing to list, then it won't show anything.

My output of rfkill list is the same as yours - nothing.
