[Solved] Bluetooth driver N/A issue + Nvidia (nvidia-470xx)

nah i think i already updated to the latest the day i get it i checked the offical hp site for any updates and update the bios maybe something updated from F.42 to F.70 or near it i forgot long time like a year and the laptop is like 10 years old so no further update will be released i think

It says F.71 2017 but i thought there might be a 2018 update? Maybe check again. I would also try getting the laptop updated fully. Then try the three package options one at a time uninstalling the previous. For the rt3290sta-dkms i think you need to black list rt2800pci.

ok i will try my best thanks alot i will post any further details when i finish update and installing dkms and testing and another question how to update bios in linux i mean in windows a file installed does it work cross-platform?

Does the laptop have Windows on it?

unfortunatly no i um passing dificult time with windows when using java and shutting down problem slows and else so i delete is entirly and change to linux (and never going back to it!!)

You could try this.

before trying and messing up all my life with 1 button so in the offical hp website:https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-pavilion-15-n200-notebook-pc-series/6529948/model/6762370?sku=F9G27EA&serialnumber=5CD3522NF7

here if u choose linux the bios update F.64 while if u use window the bios update is my current so -_-

I see F.66 for ubuntu linux? Strange… :thinking:

Edit: I can’t be 100% sure with having the model and or serial number on the HP site. They hide everything.

Best to try entering your serial number to be accurate.

yea nvm i give up they are stupid like why they even have the bios for linux in .exe wtf XD so i will just upgrade kernel and try the dkms u mention again if didnt work surrender lol

oh yea i did that and send u the link to see the bios version yourself and i think they just didnt update the linux version one so i got the last bios nvm them

It’s just strange to me why they have a different version number for Linux and Windows. I never seen that before.

what shows …

systemctl status bluetooth

?

the bluetooth service working fine
everytime i boot the pc i manually load the btusb kernel and start the bluetooth service so i am sure its working fine

ok i upgrade my system and try reinstall rt3290sta-dkms and the error not added new line didnt change completly

the output is :

Running post-transaction hooks... (1/3) Arming ConditionNeedsUpdate... (2/3) Install DKMS modules ==> dkms install --no-depmod rt3290/2.6.0.0rev1 -k 6.3.9-arch1-1 Deprecated feature: REMAKE_INITRD (/var/lib/dkms/rt3290/2.6.0.0rev1/source/dkms.conf) Error!

the new line of the error is the last one which is

ERROR: Missing 6.3.4-arch1-1 kernel headers for module rt3290/2.6.0.0rev1.

got it after upgrade which is wierd i think i will try the other AUR too maybe it works because updated
and btw i am manually loading btusb how to make it automaticly

Check if you have linux-headers installed

https://archlinux.org/packages/core-testing/x86_64/linux-headers/

yes i already have them installed and updated to last version

Your kernel version seems off. Currently:

Mainline: linux 6.4.1.arch1-1
LTS: linux-lts 6.1.37-1

What is the kernel you have installed?

huh nah i updated but not to 6.4.1 wait wierd i even get this error when installing nvidia

ERROR: Missing 6.3.4-arch1-1 kernel headers for module nvidia/470.182.03. so now i am speachless so my thinks its old kernel or what

uname -r 6.3.9-arch1-1

what is the problem here

installed sudo pacman -S linux because i didnt want to fully upgrade system but i think this the problem so i am updating to linux-lts now lol

This is not recommended on Arch (-based) systems. Partial upgrade is not supported.

You need to fully upgrade your system before installing any new packages.
