An old Lenovo laptop I have acquired has a bluetooth device:
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 045e:0745 Microsoft Corp. Nano Transceiver v1.0 for Bluetooth
Using systemctl to query the bluetooth service returns this error
systemctl status bluetooth
○ bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; preset: disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: man:bluetoothd(8)
May 14 08:13:43 lenovoR500 systemd[1]: Bluetooth service was skipped because of an unmet condition check (ConditionPathIsDirectory=/sys/class/bluetooth).
Disabling fast boot in the BIOS has no effect. It isn’t in the rfkill list:
rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
inxi shows the device:
Device-1: 4-2:2 info: Microsoft Nano Transceiver v1.0 for Bluetooth
type: keyboard,mouse,HID driver: hid-generic,usbhid interfaces: 3 rev: 2.0
speed: 12 Mb/s lanes: 1 power: 100mA chip-ID: 045e:0745 class-ID: 0300
I have a usb Bluetooth dongle which is immediately recognized when I plug it in; but I would like to use the internal device.
WiFi has no issues. Stopping and restarting the bluetooth service has no effect.
Any help would be appreciated.
