  • I have tried to apply the suggestions of the arch wiki, but those did not get it working
  • Also tired these suggestions in the blueman repo github
  • Maybe it has something to do with Bluetooth: hci0: Opcode 0x c03 failed: -110 within the journalctl output. I have read that this error code has something to do with missing device ids, but my device id was added with the kernel patch 2cdff8ca4c8414401bcbc9701229e971797b1340

please post the output of

lspci

and also the output of the inxi below

:+1: Welcome to Manjaro! :+1:

  1. Please read this:
    [HowTo] Provide System Information
    and press the three dots … below your post and press the :pencil2: to give us more information so we can see what’s really going on.
    Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies… :grin:
  2. An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information for us to be able to help you. (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
    Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text.

What is your actual problem?

… your bluetooth controller appears to be not only found
but working as well

adaptor is present
service is running
no errors except perhaps for this:

but that is not an error

What is your actual problem?

Toggling bluetooth switch in the gnome settings does not cause the desired side effect of enabling bluetooth. After this initial set back, I tried:
$ sudo bluethoothctl

Agent registered
[bluetooth]# list
[bluetooth]# power on
No default controller available

This information pointed me to the arch wiki and the blueman github repo for troubleshooting. Unfortunately, I had no success with the steps which were outlined there.

but that is not an error

I assume this warning is provided because I am using wayland.

Do you need more information?

5

I’m not convinced that you should use sudo.
After all, I assume you want to pair and use your devices as a regular user/in your user account.
Operating tools as root to achieve that might not be conducive to the desired result.

Thank you for helping. I used elevated privileges to eliminate the chances that this could be an error due to insufficient permissions. Executing bluetoothctl with my non-privileged user account generates an identical output.
