Bluetooth not working. [SOLVED]

Hi,
I recently got a new laptop (lenovo thinkpad t460). When i try to power on my device using bluetoothctl i get the error: "No default controller available" This is weird because it seems the bluetooth module and service loads fine.

systemctl status bluetooth.service

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

Re: Bluetooth not working. [SOLVED]

Hi, did you turn on bluetooth in the firmware (BIOS/UEFI)?
lspci?

Also, I would like you to take a look at the next post for some clues..
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=213841

edit: if the post is not helping, trow (dmesg | egrep -i 'blue|firm') too.

Re: Bluetooth not working. [SOLVED]

Hi qinohe,
I read some other posts suggesting to turn on bluetooth in the bios. But there doesn't seem to be any bluetooth related settings in my bios at all. Blocking and unblocking with rfkill or removing and re adding the btusb module also didn't do the trick sad.

Re: Bluetooth not working. [SOLVED]

Also show lspci or and lsusb, but I suspect we should see the device with lspci.

edit: btw. you also seem to have the joy of some ACPI bug..

I think on this device my wireless networkcard also handles the bluetooth. So it should be  "Intel Corporation Wireless 8260".

Re: Bluetooth not working. [SOLVED]

Okay had to look up that card, you not only one having problems with it..

Are you modules loaded, I bet they are but anyway please show 'lsmod|grep blue'

In post #3 - platform regulatory.0: Direct firmware load for regulatory.db failed with error -2;
You can solve this by installing CRDA (regulatory domain agent for wifi..) - not important fo BT btw.

Re: Bluetooth not working. [SOLVED]

I installed CRDA and the error message in dmesg went away. Didnt have any wifi problems but it's always better not to have any errors.

Re: Bluetooth not working. [SOLVED]

Yes, it's just a message, if you change to a different REGDOM say UK to ZA than it sets the correct REGDOM and also prevents using unused channels.

Bout the BT, it all seems okay..
Could you run 'lshw' - you may need to install (community) and paste the BT part, thanks.

Re: Bluetooth not working. [SOLVED]

I got lshw installled and this is what it said about the bluetooth and video devices are unclaimed. So i checked if there was a /dev/video or a /dev/v41/........ and it seems my webcam is also not working.

Re: Bluetooth not working. [SOLVED]

That is not how it should be, your BT should be claimed, also that version: 0.0.1 don't seem right could be but it's the first version ever...
Your driver software needs to be installed, but I have no idea what packet that should be...

Maybe someone with about the same hardware can give you more clues.

This is what a working bluetooth should look like:

*-usb:0
            description: Generic USB device
            product: BCM920702 Bluetooth 4.0

            version: 1.12
            serial: 4DB2658DDBEA
            capabilities: usb-2.00
            configuration: driver=btusb speed=12Mbit/s

Re: Bluetooth not working. [SOLVED]

That's pretty strange since wifi worked out of the box and it's on the same card. And the btusb kernel driver is also loaded.

Re: Bluetooth not working. [SOLVED]

You mean the driver for you wifi is installed, that on itself says nothing about the BT on that same card
They are 2 different drivers that may be made available as one packet, but that's not the case here apparently.
Btw. I would say btusb kernel module is loaded...   (see) module vs driver, there are differences...

Re: Bluetooth not working. [SOLVED]

I just booted an ubuntu usb to check if the bluetooth works there. It does. So now i look around in ubuntu to check what im missing to make the bluetooth work on this device.

Re: Bluetooth not working. [SOLVED]

I'm sorry you need to 'shop' around but these duo cards are 'notorious' for bad performance or not working at all..
But, if it works on Ubuntu it should work on Arch you would say...

Compare the output of the commands you used to investigate on Arch in Ubuntu for some clues.
