Bluetooth not Connecting

I've Garuda KDE Ultimate dualboot with Windows, (the following issue was also in KDE Dr46onized)
After booting both OS alternatively after installation and connecting bluetooth in windows, I couldn't connect my bluetooth devices, after some research i got the solution and i did it too, i.e., replaced the bluetooth pairing key in garuda and restarted (Did every possible ways i saw on official arch page and also others).
But the solution was executed correctly with each process/step.
But I couldn't get successful result and still I can't connect to any bluetooth device (just fails everytime, but when i go to "add" even there it will show as wizard failed, restart wizard. But it will get paired as i saw in other device's)
I've even tried the below solution. But didn't work. [Solved] KDE Dr460nized Bluetooth protocol not available

I suspect windows is interfering with bluetooth

:wave:,
I am sorry that your thread got burried under other issues and you had to ping us on telegram.

Tbh, I am usually in hurry and when you said

I thought the issue was solved :sweat_smile:.

And please ping on forums to revive the issue instead of telegram

So coming on topic, did you try bluedevil, the default software on KDE?

This was my first steps.
I have did everything that i can, and only after this I raised this issue here.
After all these i got to know that dual boot arch based systems have bluetooth issue.

Did you also try

sudo pacman -S pulseaudio-bluetooth

And reboot?

Are you dual booting with windows? Windows always try to block the resources for other os.

yes it is installed

yes, and i have tried replacing the pairing key, i changed some config files of bluetooth that was given in other issue. But still i cant connect, (but yes it won’t give error for pairing)

@Naman @librewish Pinging again after some days expecting to get any solution to use this GarudaLinux (arch-based) soon with my bluetooth working properly.

Start here:

In the latest iso, it was fixed , imo

That probably just needed a rebuild for Pulseaudio 14.

If packages don’t get rebuilt then using ChaoticAUR packages by default is going to create issues. :thinking:
