Bluetooth adapter not found

olejnjak · 2012-05-23 22:32:23

Hi,

I've been using bluetooth (installed accordingly to wiki). Now after few days I wanted to send some files and suddenly it's not working and in system settings I've got notification, that Bluetooth adapter isn't found.

Looks like it's disabled by hardware but the laptop has only button to disable both WLAN and Bluetooth, but WLAN is working properly. I've also done some searching in BIOS if there isn't something that might fix it, but unsuccessfully, e.g. in Windows 7 it's working and as I mentioned above it has been working in Arch as well.

Anybody idea how to fix this?

Thanks for your help.

Maybe you should mention what hardware you're using?

Yep, sorry my mistake.

Don't know how is it possible but suddenly it started working, the only thing I've done was that I've installed acpi package but don't if it has anything in common.

olejnjak · 2012-05-27 20:34:05

Okay, not solved.

Sometimes it's working sometimes not.

Have you tried rfkill?

Have you checked to see if there's an update available for your BIOS?

Caveat: the *only* reason I mention these two things are that I had a similar issue and these things (together) seem to have resolved it. But my hardware is very different...

olejnjak · 2012-05-28 21:48:11

BIOS is up to date, I haven't tried rfkill, but while talking about updates, I've tried to update system via pacman now it's working so we'll see.

Thanks for your help.

Okay, still experiencing that. But I've found out that while booting I got error.

Bluetooth: Can't change to loading configuration.err

and rfkill says that it isn't blocked but, hcitool dev finds no device.
