After a smooth installation of Ubuntu, was there a problem with the hotkeys for de- and activate the wifi. When the FN and Wlan key are pressed, activated airplane mode. That would have been fine with me if it hadn't been for the reactivation problem. It was only possible to solve the WiFi interface using rfkill and put it back into operation.

Change the hotkeys of a Lenovo system under Gnome, the Dconf editor is used, which can easily be installed via the respective store. Starts the editor and navigates to the following entry:

/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/

To solve the problem, the item rfkill-static entry is processed as follows:

['XF86WLAN']

After that it was possible to control the WiFi interface via the hotkeys without any problems.
