Hi,
I’ve tried twice now from fresh EndeavourOS installs on the Raspberry Pi 5. Bluetooth fails to start up, and hence there’s no BT icon in the taskbar.
I’m using the LXQt desktop in X11 mode.
I try reinstalling all the necessary packages, and starting the BT service:
sudo pacman -S bluez bluez-utils blueman
sudo systemctl start bluetooth.service
journalctl -b | grep bluetooth:
