bluetooth not working

[pallid pivot]

have you checked https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth ?

then you might want to try connecting via the cli (bluetoothctl) first.

@pallid pivot bluetoothctl

power on

device on

scan

do you have bluetooth hardware?

photo please

try running rfkill

not in bluetoothctl. Just in a shell.

in bluetoothctl, try running default-agent

idk, maybe. I don't really know bluetooth drivers. The fact that it is showing in rfkill makes me want to say no

try stopping bluetooth. (sudo systemctl stop bluetooth) and running it in debug mode (sudo /usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd -n -d)

@pallid pivot run these commands as sudo:```
$ rmmod btusb
$ rmmod btintel
$ modprobe btintel
$ modprobe btusb

@pallid pivot try adding yourself to the bluetooth group: sudo usermod -G bluetooth -a <username>

that might fix it

@pallid pivot reboot

whoops, create the group first. sudo groupadd bluetooth

@pallid pivot try the -git version

just try running bluetoothctl with sudo. That will show if it's a permission issue.

then reboot after installing the git version
