[solved] USB Bluetooth dongle not working.

Solution: There wasn't enough power to the port so I changed ports.

I'm trying to get a bluetooth dongle to work. I didn't have any difficulties getting the bluetooth on my laptop to work (also running Arch), but this dongle is giving me grief.

I followed the installation guide in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth

Result of `journalctl -b |grep bluetooth`:

Mar 17 18:19:20 Lain-Arch bluetoothd[22149]: Bluetooth management interface 1.14 initialized

Which isn't right according to the USB dongle troubleshooting section. I then unplugged the dongle and plugged it back in (since I loaded the kernel module and started the service after plugging it in). The output from `journelctl -b |grep bluetooth` did not change.

I then try `hciconfig -a hci0` as stated in that section, but I don't have it installed. According to the wiki `hciconfig` was replaced by `bluetoothctl`.

Its at this point that I'm in the dark, since wiki appears to be outdated.

In `bluetoothctl` I tried `list` but that returned nothing. I tried `devices` but that also returned "No default controller available".

I have no clue what's going on here, but the dongle advertised that it was Linux compatible out of the box.

When I plug it in with `journelctl -f` running I get

The thing is drawing more power than the port can provide.
The host does not happen to be a raspberry pi, does it?

No, it was pugged into a hub, but it was the only thing in use so I would have expected full power.

Changing ports fixed the issue of it now being detected, but I'm still having problems getting my DS4 to work with it. Oh well. One step at a time.

Thanks!
