[Solved] Bluetooth not working.

[severe acorn]

I have no bluetooth like at all. I tried my bluetooth adapter (It's a EDIMAX BT-500 fyi) and nothing is working.

[winged ingot]

could i have some context on the setup? which DE are you using?

[severe acorn]

Gnome

[winged ingot]

whats the output of systemctl status bluetooth?

[winged ingot]

run systemctl enable --now bluetooth and see if that solves your problem

[severe acorn]

Hey that worked

Can I ask some follow up questions?

[winged ingot]

go ahead

also want to quickly mention that the bluetooth service will now automatically start on boot. you shouldnt need to type that in next time

[severe acorn]

1. Do I have to run systemctl enable --now bluetooth every time I boot
2. Is bluetooth just disabled from the get go on Arch

[winged ingot]

guess i answered your first question right away

[severe acorn]

Yeah lol

[shrewd tartan]

@severe acorn sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-audio pipewire-pulse pipewire-session-manager pipewire-v4l2

remove pulseaudio

then reboot

[winged ingot]

its solved

[severe acorn]

Also I don't have pulseaudio installed

[winged ingot]

as for if its disabled by default? i.. guess you could say that? at least the service isnt automatically enabled, because not everyone needs it

its just a default. no clue why though

... solved

meh. systemctl enable --now is the equivilant of systemctl enable which autoamtically starts the service at boot. it also runs systemctl start which just starts the service for the current session (so you dont have to type them both)

you shouldnt really need it. though if you wish to read more on this then feel free to check out..
