[SOLVED] Bluetooth not detected

Hi, my blueooth adapter is not detected on arch. It worked out of the box in Manjaro.

My system:

inxi -FAZ --no-host
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = "en_US:de",
        LC_ALL = (unset),

        LANG = "en_DE.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.

I read https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth

rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no

Can someone point me to the right way?

Re: [SOLVED] Bluetooth not detected

Which kernel on Manjaro? Bluetooth service started? Make sure you do not have a HW switch that disables BT completely and maybe post

pacman -Qs bluetooth
lsusb #usbutils
sudo dmesg | grep -iE 'bluetooth|btusb'

Likely unrelated but still possibly problematic, your locale is broken, this can happen due to some weird implementation details in Plasma, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Locale … g_language
