There is no "Add new device" bluetooth option

[Roadhog360]

Hey there, so I just installed EndeavorOS on a brand new Framework 16 laptop and so far everything runs smoothly, except for one thing. I went to go get my Bluetooth and it is telling me to click an option that does not exist:

Where is this Add New Device… dialogue? Is it in the room with us right now? I cannot find this button anywhere. Whether the “enabled” tick is toggled in the top right does not introduce it, this Add New Device… dialogue is simply nowhere to be found. Searching Google or this forum, cannot find any related issues, I can only find people not finding any devices when scanning, or other issues but nothing quite like this one; in my case there is simply no option to scan.

Here’s what fastfetch has to say about my system:

Appreciate any answers, thanks in advance

did you enable bluetooth? its not enabled out of the box.

at command line type
sudo systemctl enable --now bluetooth

[pebcak]

Is bluetooth.service enabled and running?

@thefrog beat me to it

[Roadhog360]

Yes, that’s it. I thought the issue was something else, perhaps KDE should be a bit more clear instead of asking me to click a button that isn’t there… It appears when the service is enabled.

bluetooth is disabled as a feature in EOS this has nothing to do with KDE.

[Roadhog360]

Will this stay enabled in future boots?

[thefrog]

yes
