Hello, I am new to Manjaro Linux. After I dual boot my Manjaro Linux with my existing Windows (I am using Toshiba Satellite C55D-C5271), my Wi-FI was working properly but not my Bluetooth. I can enable the Bluetooth from the default Bluetooth manager (I am using KDE Manjaro Linux 64bit, not the minimal version). But, the Bluetooth won’t find any devices. It just keep scanning.
I did some research regarding on this issue. One year ago, I dual boot Linux Mint with my existing Windows in this laptop. I face the same problem. So, for this problem, I follow the same instructions.
I install the driver from GitHub - lwfinger/rtl8723au_bt: Bluetooth driver for RTL8723AE and RTL8723AU (my laptop actually using RTL8723BE, but I guess there is some similarity on the driver, because I cannot find the RTL8723BE bluetooth driver). I followed the instructions on the ‘kernel’ branch (it just tells to do ‘make’ and ‘make install’, and also do ‘modprobe’) and also suggestion from Tweaks for Toshiba Satellite L15W-B (Radius) · Issue #40 · lwfinger/rtl8723au_bt · GitHub to add one line for my vendor ID. I followed that, but the Bluetooth still cannot find a nearby device. I did change my kernel version, but still no luck. I also switch off my Bluetooth in my Windows 10, and rebooted again to Manjaro Linux, still no luck.
I also asked the owner of that repo (lwfinger). He answered my questions, but he cannot help with debugging (Does the driver support Linux Kernel 5.4 (LTS) ? · Issue #74 · lwfinger/rtl8723au_bt · GitHub). Hence, I cannot use Bluetooth until now.
Currently, I am using:
