Bluetooth not working after a fresh install

Issues & Assistance
1

After my struggles with trying to fix my laptops network dying after sleep (thread here) and eventually somehow hiding garuda from efi, I installed a fresh ISO of the garuda KDE edition on my laptop.

All seems well and similar to my previous installation, except that I cannot use bluetooth anymore at all. When opening the bluetooth panel it just shows "No bluetooth adapters found" (in finnish). If I then try to "add a new device", it just shows the bluetooth connection/discovery dialogue, but doesn't seem to find anything.

rfkill doesn't show it as blocked:

ID TYPE      DEVICE                 SOFT      HARD
 0 wlan      ideapad_wlan      unblocked unblocked
 1 bluetooth ideapad_bluetooth unblocked unblocked
 3 wlan      phy0              unblocked unblocked
 4 bluetooth hci0              unblocked unblocked

bluetoothctl seems a bit weird though:

>bluetoothctl
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# list
[bluetooth]#

Any help would be appreciated! :slight_smile:

Probably a kernel bug

Try linux-lts

try, sudo systemctl start bluetooth then if it works, sudo systemctl enable bluetooth

Lts refuses to boot, or takes a really long to do so :thinking:, mainline doesn't fix it either.

E: Mainline boots, however.

Doesn't seem to work, systemctl status bluetooth reveals something though:
