Hello everyone and thank you for reading this topic,
I'm trying to get bluetooth working on my laptop, My setup is a acer aspire v3 laptop (containing BT-4)running archlinux wth gnome-shell
packages that matter (at least i think):
[pascal@Skynet:~]$ pacman -Q | grep blue
bluez 5.21-2
bluez-firmware 1.2-8
gnome-bluetooth 3.12.0-1
Result (this is everything no animations/eye-candy, its frozen in this state):
So I'm doing something wrong. I expect my phone to show up (named "tricorder" for alll the trekkies here )
My googling resulted in many people saying that gnome-bluetooth doesnt work with bluez5. But I havent seen a workaround.
Thanks again!

Might be a stupid question, but have you activated the bluetooth systemd service? Without that, you won't be able to use bluetooth.
EDIT: See the wiki for more information.

*sigh*
I'm ashamed of myself a simple:
systemctl start bluetooth
Dit it.
Thank you!

Don't forget to enable the service as well if you don't want to start the service every time.
ALso, it happens to everyone.
