In the upstream report for gnome-shell (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME
/gnome-shell/issues/555) some analysis steps were kindly provided. It
seems that the actual cause is that gnome-settings-daemon's rfkill
plugin fails to turn on airplane mode. Following the instructions, I can
turn it on with the suggested test command:
gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Rfkill \
--object-path /org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/Rfkill \
--method org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set \
org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Rfkill AirplaneMode '<true>'
'<false>' turns if off again.

Title:
Airplane mode key on Asus ZenBook Flip UX561UD laptop not working in
gnome-shell (X or Wayland) but working on console (Cosmic 18.10)
Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Please forgive if filed for wrong package. Problem occurs in X and
Wayland sessions but not on console, so does not seem to be kernel.
Repro on Asus UX561UD with Ubuntu 18.10 up to date:
1. Log into Gnome X or Gnome Wayland session
2. Press Fn+F2 which is the airplane mode key
-> Airplane mode should turn on but nothing happens
3. Switch to console with Ctrl+Alt+F3
4. Log into console
5. Press Fn+F2 again
6. Switch back to GUI session with Ctrl+Alt+F2
-> Airplane mode is on, icon appeared in Gnome task bar
Same for turning it off.
No difference when booting 18.04.1 live image
This laptop seems not the only one with this problem. I got the idea for
trying the console trick from ArenaL5's answer on Askubuntu, but unfortunately
there is no solution there:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/972367/airplane-mode-switch-does-not-respond
Please let me know whatever I can do to help debug this.
All other Fn+Fx special keys on this laptop work (display brightness,
touchpad off, sound etc.) except for keyboard backlight, but that
works with Ubuntu 18.04.1 and I will file a separate bug for this
