Issue: If I select Restart option then the system cannot boot past grub menu. It will restart again and will loop till grub. If i power down and start, then system boots fine.
Bought this laptop yesterday, and installed EndeavourOS today. Except Bluetooth(seems driver issue from what i can gather from internet), all looks ok.
Any help is appreciated.
For the Bluetooth, see if the following could help:

Thanks for the reply mate.
That’s the first thing I did. Then, I started hunting for solution on google and " Mediatek Corp. Device 7961" chip has issues with bluetooth on linux. Sadly can’t find a solution.
Running this OS on old laptop and all is perfect.
Are you dual booting Windows and EndeavourOS? Make sure that the fast start up feature in Windows is disabled & secure boot is disabled in Bios.
After use bluetoothctl to try to get the bluetooth working if everything is installed and enabled for it.
Thanks for the reply.

Negative on Dual boot. Before install EOS, I had disabled fast start up & secure boot from Bios.
After use bluetoothctl to try to get the bluetooth working if everything is installed and enabled for it.
I tried following things:-
While using bluetoothctl, i got “No default controller available”.
Next I tried rfkill list all,

Any ideas.
PS: Purple theme looks really awesome on this site.
You have to use bluetoothctl to get it to connect. Its a whole process using bluetoothctl commands to start scan, pair, connect, etc etc.
Edit: Sometimes it just takes going through the process and remove it and set it up to work.
Thanks for further reply.

I tried a whole lot of basic troubleshooting for getting Bluetooth up and running from what i can find on google but nothing for it.
Any idea about bootlooping in grub menu if i just reboot machine. Not a deal-breaker as just power off and start, but to know a solution will be nice.
And again thanks for taking out time to help me out.
Did you check that bluetooth is turned on on this laptop?
Also have you tried installing gnome-bluetooth and see if that works.
Did you check that bluetooth is turned on on this laptop?
It worked on windows, but cannot make it work on linux.
Also have you tried installing gnome-bluetooth and see if that works.
Yes, It’s installed.
So I just want to ask because your Topic Title Is a little off to me and your explanation. Is your problem with WiFi not working because this is your WiFi.
Network: Device-2: MEDIATEK vendor: AzureWave driver: mt7921e v: kernel port: f000
bus-ID: 05:00.0 chip-ID: 14c3:7961
Your bluetooth is
Bluetooth: Device-1: IMC Networks Wireless_Device type: USB driver: btusb v: 0.8 bus-ID: 3-4:2
chip-ID: 13d3:3563
Report: rfkill ID: hci0 rfk-id: 0 state: down bt-service: enabled,running rfk-block:
hardware: no software: yes address: see --recommends
Your title is about the Grub menu in a bootloop if you restart! So does your WiFi work? But Bluetooth doesn’t? And is the bootloop still happening?
I found this regarding the MediaTek mt7921e chip.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=267837
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/72138?project=1&order=dateopened&sort=desc
Your WiFi is MediaTEK and I’m not sure if the bluetooth chip co-exists also on the same? Or is a separate chip
Anyway I just wanted to confirm if your WiFi is working and if it is only BlueTooth that isn’t working.
Edit: It seems that the device id’s are the problem in all that i read here.
If you booted windows it may have claimed the BT adapter which happened to me when i needed to use my windows USB for a firmware update. It locked me outta the wifi/BT for a month or so (maybe a couple idr) till i decided to see if it worked in windows then it released it when i shut down instead of rebooting.
as for BT not showing in the gnome settings make sure
bluez-tools
bluez
bluez-libs
bluez-utils
are all installed and just reinstall them for good measure because it wont hurt anything to try it.
Im assuming youve tried
sudo systemctl disable bluetooth
sudo systemctl enable bluetooth
@n1729m you may also need to get the latest linux-firmware git package for that as Michael at phoronix needed to on the ASUS ROG Strix G15 but it will likely be unreliable for the moment as its still seeing active work.
EDIT: Looking at your PCIe IDs Im betting you have the G15 advantage dont you?
This article may help you somewhat
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ryzen9-5900hx-linux&num=2
This chip also has open issues related to disappearing or just not working
EDIT: Looks like some fixes coming in 5.15, If you trust me I could try building a kernel patched for you with a potential fix or if you have some sort of network connection and want to you could build it yourself.
This is the needed patch for it coming in 5.15

You can easily apply it and build a kernel using TK-Glitches pkgbuilds
This i believe is related to your Mediatek chip preventing boot actually, the bluetooth and boot issues i think are related as it has been reported the mediatek chip will prevent you booting at times.
Thanks for the reply mate.
Your title is about the Grub menu in a bootloop if you restart! So does your WiFi work? But Bluetooth doesn’t? And is the bootloop still happening?
Sorry, for not being clear.
Wifi works, but bluetooth doesn’t. Both are on integrated chipset.
If I restart, then the grub is displayed > timer times out > manufacturers logo and grub again. Keeps repeating until I manually power down and start again.
No issues, if i power down and start.
Hope this clarifies my issues.
As @Echoa pointed out fix is coming for it in kernel v5.15 and both of you provided what may be a potential fix for me.
I am going to manually compile it with patch included and see if it works.
Really appreciate you and @ricklinux for taking out time to help me mate.
This is the needed patch for it coming in 5.15
Thanks for pointing me in right direction. Will complie the kernel with the fix.
Understood.
Yeah man, I found it in stock so I went ahead. Beast machine with gorgeous EndeavourOS is perfect for me.
And again really appreciate you guys helping. It means a lot.
Yes i pointed that information out also in my post if you click on the links above. I just wanted to make sure i understood that it’s just the Bluetooth not working. Sometimes it hard to tell from the log if it’s on the same chip or not but i assumed it was. The 5.15 kernel will be around Halloween when it’s released so sometime after that it will make it’s way here.
Yes, you did and I really appreciate you for taking time and helping me to hunt down solutions.
That’s on me for not being clear. I just suck at explaining things. But now i know, so if next time I need help I will try to explain to more concisely.
Happy to know. I jumped ship’s from windows 2 months back and I’m really grateful to myself that I choose EndeavourOS. Any issues i had, i solved them with your’s and Arch wiki.
Also shoutout to your “Welcome” app.
I really hope that the mediatek chip will work down the road with newer kernel.
It seems like its getting a decent amount of use in newer laptops so i imagine it will. Just a matter of time.
