Bluetooth: hci0: Malformed MSFT vendor Event: 0x02

Support
1

Hi folks,
I have a problem: I did something on the Latop for the last time some time ago, which is a hint that I can’t remember what happened back then or what I did. Now I try to start and the boot process stops, curser flashes. This was the original output when booting.
“Bluetooth: hci0: Malformed MSFT vendor Event: 0x02”

I changed the kernel, deactivated Bluetooth, nothing helps really…
Now the following is shown.

How would you proceed? Step by step.
I’m a newbie, so please don’t be too critical.

Welcome to the Community! :smiley:

It looks like the last lines are missing as I don’t see any errors there (bear in mind, it’s nearly bed time for me, sun is about to come up).

Are you able to successfully boot into a Live session (e.g. via USB, in this particular case with the .ISO you installed from)?

The posted screenshot displays no errors.

I’m afraid you have provided no actionable information.

Hi @alwisi and welcome to the Manjaro community.

Here’s your Step by Step:

1. Read and understand:

As a new forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements; in particular, the many ways to use the forum to your benefit.

To that end, some or all these links may be invaluable:

Last, but not least, the Update Announcements, which you should check frequently for important update related information.

An issue may be directly related to a particular update; these announcements should generally be checked before posting a request for support.

I hope this is helpful.

Cheers.

2. Please provide at minimum some system information:

inxi --admin --verbosity=8 --filter --no-host --width

3. This tutorial may be useful to recover booting:

I hope this helps.

MSFT refers to Microsoft. Do you have Secure Boot enabled? If so, disable it. Manjaro does not support it — even though it can be made to work — and it doesn’t actually do anything good anyway.

The question is: does your bluetooth actually work? My manjaro pc is broken now (but a new one comes wednesday) but i am pretty sure i had this too and it worked.

6

No, I checked it, UEFI Secure Boot is off.

7

How can I proof it. I can’t start my laptop, boot procedure stucks at this point. In comand line?

8

Thanks a lot! I will do this! I am on the road now and have no access to my laptop to try things out, so that is a good preparatuon.

That message is not the reason for not booting, the worst it can do is problems with bluetooth, if at all.

Something way more critical is not starting. Provide full log as asked above, dor example from a live system journalctl -b -1 -p 3

If you are still able to boot the Manjaro Installer DVD/ISO/USB, then you’re able to test in the Live environment whether Bluetooth works or not.

From that live environment, you can also follow directions in the link given earlier; or provide requested information as needed.

This is where the forum links (also given earlier) will be important, so you can discover how to post information from the Live ISO.

Good luck.
