Unable to start bluetooth service

Desktop Environments Gnome

@Schmitz
Have you made sure that fast startup on Windows in power management is disabled.

Edit: That is different than fast startup in UEFI settings. You have to boot into Windows and disable it.

@Schmitz
There are also a few newer UEFI (Bios) Firmware updates that will give you the latest AMD AGESA 1.2.0.8

I would update to the latest version.

it’s already disabled

I don’t have WIN installed, but when I had windows I disabled fast boot.

This is a very stupid suggestion, but have you cleaned all your cache and stuff from this post here A Complete Idiot's Guide To Endeavour OS Maintenance / Update / Upgrade ?

I remember I got similar problem once, and after I went through deleting orphans and all the stuff in this post and rebooted, everything just worked.

28

Okay, for now I ran out of ideas. I will let you know if some sort of enlightenment is coming over me in the next days.

29

yes, I actually made myself a little script to help me with this, trying to learn a bit of bash scripting.

[schmitz@schmitz-x570aorusultra ~]$ cat /usr/local/bin/orphans
#! /bin/bash

check_orphans() {
pacman -Qdtq
}

echo "Looking for orphans..."

check_orphans

if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
   echo "Orphan packages found"
   echo "Would you like to remove orphaned packages?"
   echo "1 - Yes"
   echo "2 - No"
read answer

case $answer in
1) echo "Confirmed, removing orphans"
sudo pacman -Rs $(pacman -Qdtq);;
2) echo "Aborting";;
*) echo "Please select a valid option"
esac
else
   if [ $? -eq 1 ]
then
   echo "No orphans found."
fi
fi

echo "Removing unnecessary cache.."
sudo pacman -Sc

if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
   echo "Done."
else
   echo "Failed."
fi

alright, thank you for all the suggestions. If I have a breakthrough myself I’ll post it here. Maybe it will help others as well.

how about paccache -r and paccache -ruk0?

Edit:
Didn’t scroll down on your script. I see it, I see it.

What does this show

bluetoothctl
33 
[schmitz@schmitz-x570aorusultra ~]$ bluetoothctl
Waiting to connect to bluetoothd...

Did you set bluetooth on in Gnome?

35

Try

sudo modprobe btusb
36

No, because that toggle button on the top right is disabled, doesn’t do anything on click.

Hmm? :thinking:
