Re: Bluetooth is not working anymore

Ah, too bad, just a heads up, there's no bluetooth on your default downloaded Arch ISO unless you create one yourself with archiso, use the releng profile and add the needed bluetooth packages to the ISO yourself (see) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Archiso. This way of creating a 'test' ISO can prove invaluable in multiple ways;)

Re: Bluetooth is not working anymore

I think I have this same issue aswell. Problems started after recent kernel updates. Have tried all troubleshooting steps I have come across without any luck.

I have tried the most recent kernel and the lts-kernel

I think someone should raise a bug, either OP or navtey.

Re: Bluetooth is not working anymore

Just had a very similar strange issue with bluetooth, just like op. I'm not sure yet how I fixed it but I have done this:

dmesg | g blue
to find the firmware I needed, it was brcm/BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e8.hcd

downgraded linux and bluez
linux 5.8.10.arch1-1
linux-firmware 20200817.7a30af1-1
linux-headers 5.8.10.arch1-1
bluez 5.54-1

followed readme on here https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware to install firmware file.
sudo chown root:root <firmware file>

If I had to guess (very wildly) I'd say linux 5.9 has some new stuff and we need a new bluez version to go with it. I'll try to find the minimal fix and post back, maybe it's just bluez, etc...

PS: the main symptom for me was `journalctl -f | grep hci` then plug/unplug the dongle. it would disconnect shortly after being plugged in

Edite: Above is outdated, I'm able to use latest everything BUT need to `systemctl disable bluetooth-mesh` for BT to work

Re: Bluetooth is not working anymore

Hello everyone. I tried this and it worked for me.
My issue: I was facing EXACTLY all the errors mentioned by OP.

Current install: Manjaro CLI install (bluetooth broken)
Reference: multi boot Arch install (bluetooth working fine)

When I compared between the two, I found these two services were enabled on my Manjaro installation, but disabled on my Arch linux installation:

blueman-mechanism.service
bluetooth-mesh.service

Disabled them and rebooted.

sudo systemctl disable blueman-mechanism.service
sudo systemctl disable bluetooth-mesh.service

Now the services are as below:

~ >>> systemctl list-unit-files | grep blue                                                                                                                                           
blueman-mechanism.service                  disabled        disabled     
bluetooth-mesh.service                     disabled        disabled     
bluetooth.service                          enabled         disabled     
dbus-org.bluez.service                     alias           -            
bluetooth.target                           static          -            
~ >>>                  

And voila, bluetooth is up!

~ >>> bluetoothctl

EDIT: For verification purpose, I re-enabled the services and bluetooth adapter was having trouble again.
I disabled them and it is fine now. Checked on kernel 5.9 and 5.4.

Re: Bluetooth is not working anymore

I can confirm
Disabling blueman-mechanism.service and bluetooth-mesh.service and rebooting after that fixed the issue. I'm running 5.9.6-arch1-1 kernel

Re: Bluetooth is not working anymore

Setting the services as #33 is showing fixed the problem for me as well. I'm now able to operate the bluetooth again, though, some errors are shown:

kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: Reading supported features failed (-16)
bluetoothd[355]: profiles/input/hog-lib.c:report_value_cb() bt_uhid_send: Invalid argument (22)

bluetoothd[355]: profiles/input/hog-lib.c:report_value_cb() bt_uhid_send: Invalid argument (22)

The kernel message appears immediately during the boot time, the bluetoothd one as soon as I connect the mouse.

Here too, but I had no blueman-meachnism. I disabled/stopped only bluetooth-mesh.service

For completeness the log of bluetooth-mesh.service, it basically tells you it's removing the Bluetooth adapter : )

Re: Bluetooth is not working anymore

Got the same problem after recent update (previous was 2 or 3 weeks earlier). Yesterday all was fine.
Unfortunately, disabling blueman-mechanism & bluetooth-mesh and rebooting didn't help.
Here's the output of some commands:

Re: Bluetooth is not working anymore

This is quite annoying indeed. Atheros Wifi/BT combo card, ath9k module, an only way I could makeit work again was downgrading kernel back to 5.9.14. Not a proper fix, but if needing bluetooth badly, it's worth a shot.

It's been helpful, thanks!

I encountered the same issue on desktop where Manjaro and kernel 5.15.12-1, and dual adapter Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX200 set.
It resolved with downgrading to 5.10.89-1. Another tricks not helped.

btw, on another machine (laptop) with Manjaro and kernel 5.15.12-1, and dual adapter Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX200, bluetooth works like a charm without downgrading.

Re: Bluetooth is not working anymore

There have been a lot of BT fixes in 5.16.1 and 5.15.15, people affected might want to test these.

FWIW I'm realising this is nearing a two year necro. If have these kind of problems on new current kernels make a new thread and post new up to date logs.

Closing.
