[Solved] Bluetooth not detected by bluetoothctl or rfkill

alaskanarcher · 2020-02-18 20:50:50

My bluetooth has stopped working on my laptop on the latest LTS kernel 5.4.20-1.

Not sure exactly which kernel it stopped working on. Still troubleshooting. Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

When was the last kernel/timeframe where it used to work? Try downgrading linux-firmware to that timeframe. This might be a iwlwifi firmware issue.

alaskanarcher · 2020-02-19 19:30:35

@V1del,

Thank you for the suggestion! Rolling linux-firmware back to 20200122.1eb2408-1 restored bluetooth functionality! Now I have something to go on for a bug report!

loqs · 2020-02-19 21:29:37

The linux-firmware just packages https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … mware.git/ please identify the commit causing the issue and report it upstream (not the arch bug tracker).

alaskanarcher · 2020-02-19 21:39:20

OK. I'll try to do that this weekend.

alaskanarcher · 2020-02-20 01:25:12

I went ahead and tried the latest build of linux-firmware-git and could not reproduce the problem. Then I tried the latest official version of linux-firmware and could again not reproduce the problem. something about downgrading the firmware coincided with it being resolved but I'm confused now that I can't reproduce the issue. Marking as solved for now.
