Re: Bluetooth doesnt work

If you're on KDE Plasma it should be as easy as running:

systemctl enable bluetooth

That should enable bluetooth and the icon should appear in the system tray.

edit: also the plasma package comes with bluetooth support with bluedevil so you don't need the bluetooth package you installed so I'd say get rid of that in case of conflict.
