you mean you ran ujust toggle-bluetooth-modules already and restarted?

#

what's the output of lsmod | grep btusb?

#

and systemctl status bluetooth.service?

raw flame
raw flame

@raw flame you've been able to use bluetooth on other distros?

#

also @raw flame can you rfkill list all and paste the output

raw flame
#

i was able to use bkuetooth on secureblue yesterday

#

today i woke up and its gone

ebon harbor
#

what actions were taken between yesterday and today

#

and are you able to boot into yesterday's deployment?

#

also

raw flame
#

shut down my laptop

ebon harbor
#

can you provide rpm-ostree db diff

#

after you provide rfkill list all

raw flame
#

this is both

ebon harbor
#

weird

#

the device isn't even showing up

#

can you give all of this

#

rpm-ostree kargs

#

rpm-ostree status

#

and cat /etc/modprobe.d/99-bluetooth.conf

raw flame
#

this is all

raw flame
ebon harbor
#

lsusb | grep blue pls

#

also dmesg | grep -i blue (as root)

#

raw flame
#

i cant do sudo anymore

raw flame
ebon harbor
#

by itself

raw flame
raw flame
raw flame
raw flame
#

#

modprobe bluetooth

raw flame

ebon harbor
#

and hciconfig

raw flame
ebon harbor
#

this is either failing hardware or something transient

#

this is going to sound dumb but

#

have you tried rebooting already

#

😅

raw flame
#

yep

#

ill retry sgain

raw flame
ebon harbor
raw flame
#

it was working fine just yesterday night

ebon harbor
#

hm let's try something

raw flame
#

im up for anything tbh

ebon harbor
#

rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/secureblue/silverblue-main-hardened:20250810

#

@raw flame this will time travel you back 5 days 😛

raw flame
#

alright

raw flame
#

or do i have to toggle it on again

ebon harbor
ebon harbor
#

probably not though

#

check if 99-bluetooth.conf is there

raw flame
# ebon harbor `rpm-ostree db diff` ?

yeah

#

im at a loss

#

doesn't seem to be an image change that caused it

raw flame
ebon harbor
#

could be anything, including a hardware issue

#

as another check

#

you could try booting an endeavouros live usb or something

#

and seeing if bluetooth works on the live usb

#

if it doesn't, then this is a hardware or bios config issue

#

if it does, then it's a secureblue issue

#

that would at least narrow it down

raw flame
#

issue is i basically dont have aflash right now

ebon harbor
#

ah

#

hmm

raw flame
#

should i try reverting back to silverblue?

ebon harbor
#

you could rebase yeah

raw flame
#

thsnks

ebon harbor
raw flame
#

alright

raw flame
#

@ebon harbor uh so it works now lmao

#

no idea how i just rebooted like 10 times

ebon harbor
#

what changed

#

lol

#

yikes

#

that sounds like flaky hardware 😬

raw flame
#

thats tragic

#

thanks for the help

ebon harbor
#

np

eternal cave
#

maybe try UEFI/power-saving/power management settings?

#

sometimes things persist across reboots with Linux that Windows would reset

#

disabling Quick Boot/Fast Boot in favour of Diagnostic/Standard Boot fixed a vaguely similar issue for me with wifi i think years ago

#

Now I'm experiencing the same issue....

Turned out to be a glitch (possibly in HW) and Bluetooth icon came back again after shutting the computer down for minutes and booting it back up
