Bluetooth keyboard issues

Support
1

Posted as a general issue because I am not certain if this is specific to the MATE community build or a Manjaro-specific issue with my laptop.

I have a Lenovo IdeaPad S340-15API that isn’t picking up on my Bluetooth keyboard. This isn’t a problem in Microsoft Windows.

All I had done so far was disable SecureBoot and set AutoEnable to true in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf. Is there something else I have to do on this machine, either through the UEFI or with Manjaro itself to make the keyboard be detected?

It’s the same keyboard that I know works with absolute, damning certainty because it’s the same keyboard I had used to write countess forum posts like this in the past on my previous (and still-used) Dell Inspiron N7110.

FWIW the controller is as shown after a quick lshw:

vendor: Qualcomm Atheros Communications
physical id: 2
bus info: usb@3:2
version: 0.01
capabilities: bluetooth usb-2.01
configuration: driver=btusb maxpower=100mA speed=12Mbit/s

Shows up as a USB device, which I find odd (it lists under category usb).

Funny enough I was also able to get my keyboard working in Garuda Linux with KDE, though the WiFi doesn’t work with that OS, whereas with Manjaro it does. But now I can’t use my keyboard.

  1. Please read this:
    How to provide good information
    and press the three dots … below your post and press the :pencil2: to give us more information so we can see what’s really going on.
    Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies… :grin:
  2. An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information for us to be able to help you. (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
    Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text.
  3. Is your Bluetooth connector picking up any other BT devices? (Headset / phone / … ?

Other Bluetooth devices are being detected, yes. I just don’t understand why the keyboard isn’t being detected, unless it’s some weird AMD PSP thing.

Yeah, believe it or not, this issue is occurring in Manjaro MATE but not Manjaro KDE. I think it’s time I just admit defeat on this one and go with the KDE build instead.

Trying the KDE build from live right now, gonna end up installing and using that. But the MATE build issue with Bluetooth needs resolution anyway, so that’s a problem y’all can solve while I am making new problems for myself.
