Hi, I’m unable to connect to a bluetooth headset. I’ve tried:
- installing
bluezbluez-utilsbluemangnome-control-center
- running the commands in the arch wiki article on bluetooth
- rebooting
- probably a lot of other things that I don’t remember
When I attempt to search for bluetooth devices in blueman, it doesn’t find any. When I attempt to use gnome-control-center, it says “No Bluetooth Found, Plug in a dongle to use Bluetooth.” When I attempt to use bluetoothctl to scan on, it says:
Failed to start discovery: org.bluez.Error.NotReady
When I run systemctl status bluetooth it says:
● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

This would seem to suggest, as far as I can tell with my limited knowledge, that I need to use the power on command in bluetoothctl. But that didn’t help:
[phoenix@phoenix-manjaro]$ bluetoothctl
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# power on
Changing power on succeeded
[bluetooth]# scan on
Failed to start discovery: org.bluez.Error.NotReady
This made me suspect that I should restart the bluetooth service, so I ran systemctl restart bluetooth, then ran bluetoothctl and tried to scan, and it still didn’t work–although it gave two different errors the first and second times:
[phoenix@phoenix-manjaro]$ bluetoothctl
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# scan on
Failed to start discovery: org.bluez.Error.NotReady
[DEL] Controller 3C:9C:0F:7E:97:6B BlueZ 5.55 [default]
[bluetooth]# scan on
No default controller available
Now when I attempt to start blueman-manager it fails to start with this error:
blueman-manager version 2.1.4 starting
blueman-manager 13.17.52 ERROR Manager:118 on_dbus_name_appeared: Default adapter not found, trying first available.
blueman-manager 13.17.52 ERROR Manager:122 on_dbus_name_appeared: No adapter(s) found, exiting
Although something similar happened before so I suspect that if I restart it will get me back into the original situation. Basically I don’t know what’s happening.
