Bluetooth not working in my system

Bluetooth is not getting enabled from the manjaro settings.
If i click on the toggle button in manjaro setting the toggle button automantically get off suddenly.
I am not understading what is the issue.
Below i have put info about bluttooth in my system.

Anything else to check about the system?
how to debug the bluetooth not working?
how to fix this issue?

Welcome to the forum :partying_face:

Could you supply more info about the system, then the forum users have an idea what kind of hardware you are working with. In this case the Bluetooth part should supply hardware/driver/settings information.

inxi --full --admin --filter --width

on bluetoothctl
What does list or show give as output
Does the option to select [controller] (if found) do anything?

  1. on bluetoothctl hereis what i’m getting -

bluetoothctl
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# list
[bluetooth]# show
No default controller available
[bluetooth]#

I guess this is the issue, there is no driver for this device.

Has it worked in the past?

i have used bluetooth in windows OS same system.
in manjaro i haven’t used bluetooth as it was giving me issue rite from that start wen i removed windows and installed manjaro

One thing to try is to disable fast boot in windows if you dual boot.
Windows keeps the hardware initialized to boot faster. This can interfere with another os on the same system.

No. I have formatted the system while installing manjaro linux.

LAPTOP Details has Bluetooth 5.1

is there any way to install the drivers?

It should be in there all ready: (same BT chip)

You might have more success with a newer kernel. 6.1 or 6.5.

in the given link

“To solve this problem I had to install the linux-kernel 5.15, still in RC (rc3). linux-5.15.rc3 fixed the problem : now bluetooth works”

I have that kernel already

mhwd-kernel -li 
Currently running: 5.15.133-1-MANJARO (linux515)
The following kernels are installed in your system:
   * linux515
   * linux54

anything else to be added apart from this?
i have no much idea about the kernel. can be help me with the specifics?

The kernel is updated regularly, a newer version might recognize the hardware correctly.

so only solution is to wait for the new kernel to get updated?
or a manual update can be done?

Ah no, you can change this yourself.

mhwd-kernel --list

Will list the kernels to choose from. (do not install a *-rt kernel)

6.1 the long term support kernel that will get support for some time.
6.5 is the latest stable version

it is easy to change what you run. You have allready found the right command :slight_smile:

It is possible to have more then one installed and switch at boot time. This way you are able to test/try out other versions and compare.

https://kernel.org/

okay thank you.
i will try installing linux65 and see if am able to use bluetooth connectivity.

Hey I wanted to inform you that. i have installed linux65 stable version
and bluetooth is working now. I’m able to connect my devices and use them.
Thank you very much for ur help…

Some context on why this solves the issue might be relevant:

The Linux kernel is being constantly updated. Some of the updates are selected to go into earlier versions, some not. This might be the case in this situation, it might not. Kernel developers do say that running the latest version is the best version to run, it is the best that they can make at that time, in this case this seems to be true.
