No default controller available in bluetooth

ricklinux · July 7, 2022, 4:04pm

The bluetooth service isn’t running. I gave you the command to enable it. Then check the status again.

Sann · July 7, 2022, 4:08pm

I get this:

[usr@DESKTOP-USR ~]$ sudo systemctl enable bluetooth.service && sudo systemctl start --now bluetooth.service
[usr@DESKTOP-USR ~]$ sudo bluetoothctl
Waiting to connect to bluetoothd...

ricklinux · July 7, 2022, 4:09pm

Did you check the status again after enabling it to make sure it’s running.

sudo systemctl status bluetooth

Sann · July 7, 2022, 4:10pm

Yes, same result unfortunately.

Your Ideapad has an Fn-key for turning airplane mode on / off!

Fn + (airplane-symbol looking little different, ‘flying in left direction’)

ricklinux · July 7, 2022, 4:12pm

Yes i asked that too. Airplane mode turns WiFi and Bluetooth off.

ricklinux · July 7, 2022, 4:18pm

You can try the command this way but check this first. What does rfkill show?

rfkill

sudo systemctl enable --now bluetooth

Then check status

sudo systemctl status bluetooth

Sann · July 7, 2022, 4:18pm

When I press this, the WiFi gets turned on and off. It doesn’t seem to have effect on the Bluetooth…

ricklinux · July 7, 2022, 4:19pm

It has to be on as the bluetooth is part of the WiFi chip.

Edit: Nothing is going to work if the bluetooth isn’t turned on and the blutooth service isn’t enabled and started.

You are sure WiFi is turned on?

Sann · July 7, 2022, 4:23pm

Pretty sure, I’m messaging you now on the WiFi .

anon11595408 · July 7, 2022, 4:24pm

uname -r gives the active kernel.

Can you post the output here?

ricklinux · July 7, 2022, 4:25pm

Did you happen to remove something?

sudo pacman -S --needed bluez bluez-utils

Sann · July 7, 2022, 4:25pm

Sure!

5.18.9-arch1-1

anon11595408 · July 7, 2022, 4:26pm

try this:

sudo pacman -S linux-lts-headers linux-lts

then:

sudo reboot

Sann · July 7, 2022, 4:26pm

It doesn’t seem like that:

warning: bluez-5.64-2 is up to date -- skipping
warning: bluez-utils-5.64-2 is up to date -- skipping
 there is nothing to do

ricklinux · July 7, 2022, 4:27pm

Try as @anon11595408 suggests to see if it will work on the lts kernel.
