From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Bluetooth issues (lemmy.fish)

Using latest fedora 41 with Plasma Mobile, I can't get Bluetooth to work. Nothing shows up running bluetoothctl list. It's an intel wireless 7265, which shows up as a network controller under lspci, but the bluetooth part doesnt. hciconfig returns nothing.

Steps I've taken:

sudo modprobe bluetooth

sudo dnf install bluez bluez-utils

sudo systemctl start bluetooth

I'm having deja vu where I followed all these steps before, but somehow I'm stuck here. Thank you for any help.

Make sure that the driver for the module is built into the kernel. dmesg | grep bluetooth should reveal something there.

Also, make sure the module is not blocked in rfkill.

dmesg | grep -i bluetooth says this after loading bluetooth with modprobe:

Bluetooth: Core ver 2.22

NET: Registered PF_BLUETOOTH protocol family

Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized

Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized

Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized

Bluetooth: SC0 socket later initialized

Rfkill only lists my wlan device which is unlocked.

Does not look like the driver is enabled in the kernel you are running then. :(

question! do you think installing the fedora vanilla kernel would solve this? I've used different distros that supported this bluetooth driver, so I assume it's already in the kernel and ready.

I cannot into computers, but draining the capacitors before rebooting has fixed this issue for me in the past. Not sure if this is even possible on your device given you're running Plasma Mobile

Make sure you have Bluetooth enabled in your firmware

By the check, I meant that I'd already had it enabled and checked that.
