Scanning does not find any bluetooth devices

i’ve tried the above method, so far – no avail.

if you have any more ideas, i’d be happy to keep exploring.

Did you try creating an iwlwifi.conf file in `/etc/modprobe.d directory?

ADD

options iwlwifi bt_coex_active=0

yes, i did!

the problem persists, as follows:

Waiting to connect to bluetoothd...[bluetooth]# hci0 new_settings: powered bondable ssp br/edr le secure-conn
[bluetooth]# Agent registered
[bluetooth]# [CHG] Controller 44:85:00:96:7D:D6 Pairable: yes
[bluetooth]# power on
[bluetooth]# Changing power on succeeded
[bluetooth]# scan on
[bluetooth]# SetDiscoveryFilter success
[bluetooth]# Failed to start discovery: org.bluez.Error.InProgress
[bluetooth]#

i really don’t want to reinstall the whole system due to a bluetooth issue, as i use it rarely, but still sometimes need it

Tried?

rfkill unblock all

Edit: Have you also tried to restart bluetooth?

sudo systemctl restart bluetooth

Edit: Have you also tried to restart bluetooth?

yep, my bluetooth is off by default

rfkill unblock all

tried this just now, everything’s the same

Do you dual boot with Windows?

nope, this is a clean install of endeavour os.

as discussed earlier, removing bluez+bluez-utils, shutting my machine down, leaving it unplugged to rest for 20 mins, then booting back up solves the issue temporarily.

so far, no permanent solution has been found – i came across this issue back in july

Sounds like a power management issue. Maybe turn off powersave.

/etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

options

options iwlwifi bt_coex_active=0
options iwlwifi swcrypto=1
options iwlwifi power_save=0 d0i3_disable=0 uapsd_disable=0

this works.

odd, as powersave was apparently enabled by default, and for awhile after installing the os bluetooth seemed to work fine.

will test around and see.

marking this as solution! thanks all.
(extra thanks for direct link to wiki, i can only find info on there if i know exactly what i’m looking for)
