Issue with bluetooth deamon

Hello there

I was using for a while now a PCI card with both wifi and bluetooth
It worked out of the box and without issue for months and stoped out of the blue

Wifi is still perfectly fonctionnal, so no reason to think the card is fried
Must be a software update which caused the issue

I waited a bit to see if it solved itself with upgrades, but it didn't

 ~]$ systemctl status bluetooth.service
● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; vendor>
     Active: inactive (dead)
       Docs: man:bluetoothd(8)

nov. 10 12:23:28 Goliath systemd[1]: Condition check resulted in Bluetooth service being skipped.
nov. 10 12:24:16 Goliath systemd[1]: Condition check resulted in Bluetooth service being skipped.
nov. 10 12:24:48 Goliath systemd[1]: Condition check resulted in Bluetooth service being skipped.
nov. 10 12:25:19 Goliath systemd[1]: Condition check resulted in Bluetooth service being skipped.
nov. 10 12:25:24 Goliath systemd[1]: Condition check resulted in Bluetooth service being skipped.
nov. 10 12:25:50 Goliath systemd[1]: Condition check resulted in Bluetooth service being skipped.

Any idea about how to investigate and solve this issue ?

I miss my bluetooth headset during teleworking

Re: Issue with bluetooth deamon

That log is useless...
Post the full journal for the latest boot with a pastebin client (preferably ix.io or any plaintest one).

Did you try the lts kernel?
I choose to blame the kernel first for this in specific.

Hello Gaku

I'll try to be as usefull as can be;)

I tried the lts kernel on your recommandation but i can't start the X server (an issue with the nvidia kernel module)

A log of a latest boot being fetched by the "dmesg"  command ?

Re: Issue with bluetooth deamon

You need to install nvidia-lts if you intend to test with linux-lts . Full journal is usually something like

sudo journalctl -b

Re: Issue with bluetooth deamon

Thanks V1del, works way better with nvidia-lts package 

Here is the resultat of the "journalctl -b" command in ix.io, as requested

EDIT : Boot with the lts kernel, but no difference with the stable kernel

Re: Issue with bluetooth deamon

No mention of btusb, do you have a time frame of when it stopped working? It might be an issue with the component both kernels have in common and that might be an incompatibility in the linux-firmware package.

Re: Issue with bluetooth deamon

I'm having a hard time giving you a precise answer

I'd say around 2 weeks or so
Maybe the patch for the Blurtooth vulnerabilité ?
I gather it was implemented on both LTS, stable (and mainline)

Is there a way to install previous kernel easily on arch ?

EDIT : Interessting fact, I had lost the mouse wheel with the latest kernels but it works just fine with the lts
