Bluetooth won't connect

I have an ASUS laptop and has bluetooth built in. I was able to start the service, but when trying to search for a device (my headphones), I get an error stating:

sudo systemctl status bluetooth

I’d take a look at the guidelines under the section Configuration via CLI on Arch Wiki

Hope that helps! :+1:

There has been some major work done on Bluetooth recently.

The previous update (2021-08-09) broke my headset (High Fidelity Playback, A2DP Sink) but the most recent update (2021-08-17) fixed it again and also added the headset protocol so that the microphone can be used (Hansfree Head Unit, HFP).

I keep everything updated in the package manager… Is there another update process? I am more familiar with Ubuntu. I need the equivalent of apt dist-upgrade…

Take a look at pamac on Manjaro Wiki
