[SOLVED] Bluetoothctl - No default controller available

Hello everybody!

I just use a mouse bluetooth 5.0 but from today I'm encountered this problem.

Everything has always worked well until today, when I tried to switch from ly display manager to CDM, failing miserably. So I then also tried to start bspwm directly without display manager but I failed too. I don't know what I did wrong but this is not the point now. I went back to ly and now I can execute bspwm as before. The problem is that, after these "experiments", the mouse no longer connected automatically as it did before and, in addition, it is no longer possible to connect at all because bluetoothctl always responds with "No default controller available".

I searched the web and found, also on Arch Forum, something about a firmware update that may causes this issue, but I think that is not my case because I didn't do any updates today. I have not yet tried a solution that I found that suggests to disconnect the computer's battery for a while because, before removing some screws from my laptop, I would like to ask to the community if there is other soultions.

I already tried

sudo rmmod btusb
sudo systemctl disable bluetooth.service
sudo systemctl stop bluetooth.service
sudo modprobe btusb
sudo systemctl enable bluetooth.service
sudo systemctl start bluetooth.service
lsusb

Re: [SOLVED] Bluetoothctl - No default controller available

I am having the exact same issue. Booted into windows once to fetch an ebook and then boom, no more bluetooth on Arch. Exact same

sudo dmesg | grep Bluetooth

output, exact same

systemctl status bluetooth

output.

rfkill

is clean too, one more thing which, you may find the exact same issue I did OP, any

bluetoothctl

command yields

No default controller available

Now I am on a very different machine. Instead of a laptop I have a desktop with an Aorus B550i PRO AX motherboard on which the bluetooth adapter is integrated. That board has been terrible when it comes to wifi/bluetooth sometimes just disappearing for no reason, then reappearing after a full system reboot as was suggested to you OP. In my case, this involves simply taking the power cord out and pressing the power button to make sure everything in the machine is flat, then waiting for a bit before plugging everything back, which I did. Several times. The result: nothing. This supposedly forces the firmware to restart, but that doesn't seem to be the issue because nothing has changed.

Another difference is that I installed all updates that came my way. Although, the bluetooth stopped working before the whole bluez and bluez-utils were updated, leaving them out as the possible culprits. Best I've seen is that the most recent kernel doesn't play nice with some bluetooth adapters. If that's really all there is to it (which it might not be), then the solutions I've come across so far is to downgrade the kernel until it is fixed or just live without until the next update. I'm really hoping it doesn't come to this but at the end of the day, this is arch. Stuff like this is bound to happen from time to time. I guess we've just been very lucky for a while there.

Re: [SOLVED] Bluetoothctl - No default controller available

Thank you @Muxed0 for the answer.

sad

It works fine for like 6 months or more. It just stop to works after that damned and failed attempt to run bspwm, first with CDM and then without any DM, wich caused a black screen. Damn me.

Here also my

  sudo dmesg | grep firmware
[sudo] password di arch_peter:

Hope can help to find a solution.

So is a problem related to missing firmware? There is not a way to re-load these firmwares or something like this? Sorry if this is a noob question...

I also find this discussion: https://www.linuxquestions.org/question … ost6435453 in which an answer containing the following link: https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/MT7921E.html is indicated as a "solution" but I don't understand what I should possibly do.

Re: [SOLVED] Bluetoothctl - No default controller available

Well, to be fair I too am quite the noob when it comes to this. Both of our devices are indeed Mediatek wireless devices, so the thread you linked feels relevant. Unfortunately, it also looks like this is purely a firmware issue. I'll try just reinstalling arch completely to see if that fixes it, somehow. My bet is on not which means that arch won't be good until they do something about it. Weird that not many have had this issue yet though.

Fresh arch install with linux-zen, same issues. Guess there really isn't much we can do about it.

Re: [SOLVED] Bluetoothctl - No default controller available

sad .

What I still don't understand is why it happened randomly after the bspwm execution failure and not after a firmware update. The problem did not start after a firmware update. I mean: one moment everything works, no firmware problems -> bspwm execution failed -> firmware lost... Where is the connection?

Re: [SOLVED] Bluetoothctl - No default controller available

It's a bug with the 6.9 kernel: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218757

Your options are:
Live without bluetooth and wait for the fix that'll probably arrive with 6.9.2
Patch and compile the kernel yourself with this patch
Downgrade to the latest 6.8 kernel
Create symbolic link to the old firmware in /lib/firmware/mediatek like the newest in the bug tracker comment mentioned, should probably be BT_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1_2_hdr.bin.zst -> BT_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1a_2_hdr.bin.zst

I had the same problem and used the patch, but symbolic linking or downgrading should be the easier options.

Thank you mccord! You gave me some hope again! smile

I would like to try the option of creating a symbolic link to the old firmware but in my

/lib/firmware/mediatek

I have just:

ls -a /lib/firmware/mediatek | grep BT_RAM_CODE
BT_RAM_CODE_MT7922_1_1_hdr.bin.zst
BT_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1_2_hdr.bin.zst

Should I download BT_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1a_2_hdr.bin from the first link you mentioned in your comment?

About the downgrade option I'm scared about this

Tip: If you are unable to boot after a kernel update, you can downgrade the kernel chrooting into the system. Boot using an Arch Linux USB flash installation media and mount the partition where your system is installed to /mnt. If you have /boot or /var on separate partitions, also mount them to /mnt (e.g. mount /dev/sdc3 /mnt/boot). Then chroot into the system using:

# arch-chroot /mnt

Now you can go into the pacman cache directory and downgrade the Linux packages using the command indicated above. Once done, exit the chroot (with exit) and reboot.

From https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Downgrading_packages because now I don't have any USB-key at hand.

Lastly I'm tempted by the patch option but unfortunately I don't understand what I should do because I'm basically a noob, but eager to learn so I will start to search how to do it and if understand something I will try.

In any case, thank you very much!

Re: [SOLVED] Bluetoothctl - No default controller available

For symlinking this should theoretically work
sudo ln -s /lib/firmware/mediatek/BT_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1_2_hdr.bin.zst /lib/firmware/mediatek/BT_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1a_2_hdr.bin.zst
You could also extract BT_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1_2_hdr.bin.zst and rename the resulting bin file to BT_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1a_2_hdr.bin like someone in the other thread mentioned.
There's also someone that has compiled the 6.9.1 kernel with the patch in that thread.

For downgrading the kernel you'd have to grab both linux and linux-headers from Arch Linux Archive https://archive.archlinux.org/
https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/ … kg.tar.zst
https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/ … kg.tar.zst
then installing with pacman -U linux-6.8.9.arch1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst linux-headers-6.8.9.arch1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
edit: I'm not sure if this works cleanly if you are using nvidia drivers! Better to avoid or use nvidia-dkms drivers.

There's also the 'downgrade' package on the AUR that automates downloading from archive, installing and listing the package in IgnorePkg /etc/pacman.conf so it'll not get updated on the next pacman -Syu.

That'll do it. Just extract the file anywhere and

 sudo mv BT_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1a_2_hdr.bin /lib/firmware/mediatek

Now my bluetooth works again. Wonderful!

Edit: well, after another restart it seems like my adapter bit the dust entirely. Maybe this was not such a good idea after all?

I confirm that the "symlink option" with

sudo ln -s /lib/firmware/mediatek/BT_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1_2_hdr.bin.zst /lib/firmware/mediatek/BT_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1a_2_hdr.bin.zst

does the trick and fix the problem "No default controller available". Thank you so much!

To be honest, after creating the symlink and reboot the system, the first mouse pairing attempts were unsuccessful. bluetoothctl gave me errors like "Failed to pair: org.bluez.Error.Authentication" or something like this (I tried yesterday night and I didn't copy the exact output). However, following this forum https://askubuntu.com/questions/1240045 … or-authent I ran this command in #bluetoothctl:

disconnect <device>
untrust <device>
remove <device>

Then

scan on
pair <device>
trust <device>

And I was finally able to pair my mouse to my PC via bluetooth again.
Unfortunately however, after a few minutes of inactivity the mouse went into stand-by or something and disconnected and I was no longer able to connect it, even by repeating the steps above.
Finally, today I turned on the PC, checked that the bluetooth service was running, turned on the mouse, paired with bluetoothctl and everything is working. I do not know what to say. However, I notice that the mouse connection no longer behaves as it did before the firmware bug: even before going into stand-by like yesterday (now it doesn't go there also because I'm using it) the notification often pops up telling me that the mouse is connected , which didn't happen before, but that would be a topic for another discussion smile. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Anyway I have a question about the symlink: if BT_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1a_2_hdr.bin.zst will be added in future updates, will I have to disable the symlink? Otherwise the search for the BT_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1a_2_hdr.bin.zst firmware will always be sent back to BT_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1_2_hdr.bin.zst even if this new firmware (if it still has that name) is present in the firmware/mediatek folder, or am I wrong?

THANK YOU SO MUCH ANOTHER TIME!

Re: [SOLVED] Bluetoothctl - No default controller available

Anyway I have a question about the symlink: if BT_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1a_2_hdr.bin.zst will be added in future updates, will I have to disable the symlink? Otherwise the search for the BT_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1a_2_hdr.bin.zst firmware will always be sent back to BT_RAM_CODE_MT7961_1_2_hdr.bin.zst even if this new firmware (if it still has that name) is present in the firmware/mediatek folder, or am I wrong?

Yes. The symlink will also prevent the installation of any linux-firmware package containing that file.

Ok, thank you!

I'm going to mark this post as [SOLVED] since @mccord provided directions to resolve the "No default controller available" issue.

Just one last thing to make sure this isn't also related to the bug.

As I said in a previous comment, Bluetooth now always works when the PC starts, but it doesn't automatically reconnect to the mouse like it did before. Furthermore, when the system starts, running bluetoothctl and then info <device> I can see that the device is already paired and trusted but not connected. By pressing the mouse button to start the "pair mode" the device connects and disconnects after less than a second and automatically exits the "pair mode". In order to make the connection, each time, I have to untrust and remove the device and then repeat the process "scan on, pair <device>, connect <device>, trust <device>". I have to repeat this procedure at every startup to be able to connect.

This is my

Thank you @Smoerrebroed!
Also the last problem that I reported is fixed but unfortunately I really don't know what I did to reach this situation. Sorry if this question is also a noob question but: is possible that the last kernel update fix it?
Anyway I marked this as Solved.
Thank you all for the tips!
