Manjaro does not detect my Bluetooth adapter

[kamarada]

I remembered I needed to tweak some kernel setting with openSUSE a long time ago. It seems it is an specific issue of this laptop (Acer Aspire E15 laptop, model number E5-573-54ZV).

I needed to blacklist the acer_wmi kernel module:

echo 'blacklist acer_wmi' > /etc/modprobe.d/btconfig.conf

Then rebuild initramfs:

mkinitcpio -P

And, finally, reboot.

That’s it! My Bluetooth adapter is working now!

But it may be worth checking what software is installed:

pamac search blue | grep -i installed

Just for reference, maybe it is useful for someone reading this thread in the future:

@BG405 thank you!
