Update to bluez packages 5.64-2 causing failed BT startup [fixed]

2022-03-19_10-53

sudo downgrade bluez bluez-utils
and restarting the service sudo systemctl restart bluetooth.service
should be a workaround currently, if you are getting this issue.

Reviving an old thread to say that two of my machines, one with EndeavourOS on the LTS kernel and one with Garuda on the Zen kernel, both experienced a similar issue where the bluetooth icon was missing from the panel’s system tray, and KDE settings would not enable bluetooth.

Bluez 5.76-1 was the culprit on both machines, and running sudo systemctl restart bluetooth.service fixed the issue, at least until the next reboot.

this is still not adding any info to this thread… and is 99,999% not the same issue.

Never makes sense to post on old threads.
It does only one thing pinging everyone posting on this thread …
