Can't Make Bluetooth Work

Hi. First of all, i've never been able to make my BT dongle work with archlinux. It works perfectly on debian.

here are my outputs

$ lsusb

rfkill list

$ rfkill list
0: hci0: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: no

(when i do rfkill ublock bluetooth, or unblock 0 it doesn't work at all)

sorry for the mess, i've tried at first the official wiki issues/troubleshooting part, but as it didn't work, then a few more instructions i found over different places. Unfortunately no one could make my bt work.

any other idea?

Re: Can't Make Bluetooth Work

Try with another computer or OS , to verify that isn't faulty.

Re: Can't Make Bluetooth Work

Sorry can't get farther than this. Try to see if there are problems with connman (wiki)
