Cannot connect my boat bluetooth earphones.

RounakDutta · 2022-10-07 09:29:05

I installed the "bluez bluez-utils pulseaudio-bluetooth " packages. I also loaded the "btusb" kernel module and also enabled(and started) the "bluetooth.service" but whenever I use bluetoothctl it shows this -

[rounak@archissexy 14:56 ~]$ bluetoothctl
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# devices
No default controller available
[bluetooth]# scan on
No default controller available
[bluetooth]#

Can anyone help me ?

EDIT: I tried out this - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/blueto … _available but it didn't work

btusb would be loaded by default if you had actual BT hardware. What bt hardware do you think should exist on your system? Outputs of

lsusb
lspci
sudo dmesg | grep -iE 'btusb|bluetooth'

If it's a realtek controller or so there are chances that you're SOL.

Thanks a lot for helping me out!!

Here is the -
Output of "lsusb" - http://0x0.st/oyVl.txt
Output of "lspci" - http://0x0.st/oyV6.txt
Output of "sudo dmesg | grep -iE 'btusb|bluetooth'" - http://0x0.st/oyVG.txt

EDIT I temporary added the "btusb.enable_autosuspend=n" As written in archwiki but it didn't work.

There's nothing suggesting you have any BT hardware nor wifi hardware for that matter, why do you think you should be able to use bluetooth? What system/laptop/mainboard/vendor is this? On the slight chance you have simply disabled the HW in your UEFI/firmware check your firmware on an option to enable this and/or check whether you have a physical button killswitch (though I'd find it weird if that would completely remove the HW from the bus)

Yeah you don't have any radio chip. You'll need to buy an external bluetooth dongle.
