RaspPi 4B bluetooth unaccessible

The built in bluetooth of the pi doesn’t seem to be detected in endeavouros (gnome) for me. I installed the OS rather cleanly with no issue, however bluetooth is unavailable. and not being detected.


Have you enabled? Do not have an arm device, but on the normal EnOS it is not enabled by default.

sudo systemctl enable --now bluetooth.service

I do that but it still doesn’t work, and it’s on raspberry pi 4b so yes it’s ARM.


@AAcat

@xircon is correct. Like EnOS X86_64, EnOS ARM does not enable bluetooth by default.

Things are a little different with Raspberry PI 4b. In a terminal window, you need to use vi or nano to edit the following config file,

/boot/config.txt

then comment out this line by adding a # at the beginning of the line. from

dtoverlay=disable-bt

to

#dtoverlay=disable-bt

you may have to use systemctl to enable bluetooth again.

Then reboot.

That should take care of your problem, if not get back to me.

@AAcat Where are my manners? I forgot to welcome you to the forum.
