Bluetooth not working after restart

I followed these steps again but nothing happens.

❯ bluetoothctl
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# scan on
No default controller available
[bluetooth]# 

Device is not blocked by rfkill
In the same wiki found this
How to do this step

This might also be caused by power saving measures, in which case adding the kernel parameter btusb.enable_autosuspend=n is a potential solution.

How to do this step

The words "kernel parameter" are a link ... to the page that instructs you on exactly how to do that step.

Re: Bluetooth not working after restart

Added btusb.enable_autosuspend=n from grub but still the problem persist.

❯ cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=966747c5-6662-40f9-8c7f-934d4b63bafe rw loglevel=3 quiet btusb.enable_autosuspend=n

Re: Bluetooth not working after restart

I have the same problem which started recently. The bluetooth controller does not survive a reboot. I found that if I completely power off the machine before restarting, then bluetooth works as before.

It didn't worked even after powering off the machine.

Bluetooth has stopped working completely, but wifi still works.

Re: Bluetooth not working after restart

After rebooting the machine I see this:

Nov 29 09:30:43 skunk-develop kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: command 0xfc05 tx timeout
Nov 29 09:30:43 skunk-develop kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: Reading Intel version command failed (-110)

If I power off, then restart I see this instead:

Nov 29 09:33:02 skunk-develop kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: Legacy ROM 2.5 revision 1.0 build 3 week 17 2014
Nov 29 09:33:02 skunk-develop kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: Intel Bluetooth firmware file: intel/ibt-hw-37.8.10-fw-1.10.3.11.e.bseq
Nov 29 09:33:02 skunk-develop kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: unexpected event for opcode 0xfc2f
Nov 29 09:33:02 skunk-develop kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: Intel BT fw patch 0x32 completed & activated

and everything "just works".

My problem may be completely different to yours though. Just posting my results in case it helps somehow.

Re: Bluetooth not working after restart

I think  its a kernel 5.15 bug https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bug … 32263.html

Bluetooth is working with kernel 5.14

Re: Bluetooth not working after restart

It has been confirmed to be a regression in the 5.15 kernel.

The linux-bluetooth mailing list is already aware of this issue: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215167

Another necrobump, and with essentially an empty post. Please stop.

Closing.
