I can't get my bluetooth to work in Arch. [SOLVED]

TechNerd22 · 2022-07-17 08:19:23

I just installed Arch alongside Windows 11 on my main computer, but my Bluetooth will not work at all. Blueman doesn't open, system settings is saying Bluetooth is not enabled and won't let me enable it, and bluetoothctl says No default controller available. How can I fix this? Bluetooth works fine in Windows 11, and at one point I had Ubuntu on this computer and Bluetooth worked there.

I have Arch with the KDE Plasma desktop environment and my Bluetooth card is an Intel AX201.

Update: Solved! I had to unplug my computer for 30 seconds then plug it back in, that got bluetooth to work again.

I've tried the troubleshooting steps in the wiki. None of them got my bluetooth to work.

As for enabling it, I'm just using the Plasma system settings app. I wasn't using the terminal.

I have the solution:
Open the terminal and write:

sudo systemctl enable --now bluetooth

And now u can put on the bluetooth
