Atheros AR 9285 - Bluetooth not detected on newest kernels

gardev · 21 January 2021 11:00

Hey community,
Recently I installed garuda linux dragonized version.
Before I was using windows OS . In that my bluetooth worked fine but when shifted to garuda , the time I open Bluetooth from Notification section it says NO BLUETOOTH ADAPTERS FOUND .
Also when i tried enabling it from system settings , the time I click on enable nothing happens.

Solutions I Tried :

I installed bluez using the following command:
sudo pacman -S bluez bluez-utils
I also installed blueman :
sudo pacman -S blueman
I then enabled blutooth service:
sudo systemctl enable bluetooth.service
Also I started the service:
sudo systemctl start bluetooth.service

Still NO effects.

Then I tried to open blueman i.e, bluetooth manager

The time i click on it It's icon appears on the screen but the window does not even open

My Specs:

ASUS K53U Laptop
6 gb ram
320 GB HDD
Amd C-60 APU with Radeon HD Graphics
64 bit OS

The Network controller driver - as mentioned in the system settings

RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller(Realtek)
AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)
(Qualcom Atheros)

waiting Ahead for Your Solutions

Use three ~ top/buttom instead "

gardev · 21 January 2021 11:14

** use three ~ top/buttom instead **
what do you mean??

Read wiki link, Please

librewish · 21 January 2021 11:16

Try linux-lts kernel

sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux-lts

Then reboot and from advanced options in grub menu choose lts kernel to boot.

See if it helps as recently there have been reports that latest kernel has some ongoing issues with Bluetooth

gardev · 21 January 2021 11:18

Ok I am going to try this

gardev · 21 January 2021 11:22

IT'S Saying this:

The following packages are out of date, please update your system first: alsa-

Do you want to continue anyway? [y/N]

What to enter , yes or no

SGS · 21 January 2021 11:28

First
Ctrl + C

sudo pacman -Syu

then

SGS · 21 January 2021 11:57

A post was split to a new topic: What do I choose from these?

gardev · 21 January 2021 12:03

Nothing new happened after this.

My problem is still in the existence

Any other solutions please !!

SameExpert · 21 January 2021 12:22

Is bluetooth working in live USB?

gardev · 21 January 2021 12:23

Nope bro .

SameExpert · 21 January 2021 12:38

Check BIOS settings once.

gardev · 21 January 2021 12:51

In bios, what do I check

SameExpert · 21 January 2021 12:55

I don't know, as I don't own an ASUS device. As per this link from ASUS itself, one possible solution is to reset BIOS (though it is for Windows it may also work for Linux too). Try looking for anything related to Bluetooth.

I think it is the opposite.
I wait for what I have asked for. New report from your current system, after booting linux-lts kernel.
