Bluetooth doesn’t work on my Garuda Hyprland, I tried various things and found out that my adapter is not being detected so it’s not working .
The following are the things i tried:
- Tried to see if the adapter is recognized or not through bluetoothctl
bluetoothctl
[bluetooth]# Agent registered
[bluetooth]# list
[bluetooth]# devices
No default controller available
[bluetooth]#
- Checked if bluetooth is blocked or not using rfkill list
rfkill list

Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

- Already installed bluez, blueman and bluez-utils and setup.
- Enabled and started bluetooth service using
sudo systemctl enable bluetooth
sudo systemctl start bluetooth

Garuda (2.6.26-1.1):
System install date: 2025-01-26
Last full system update: 2025-02-24 ↻
Is partially upgraded: No
Relevant software: snapper(custom) NetworkManager dracut
Windows dual boot: Probably (Run as root to verify)
Failed units:
- Tried using other kernels like Linux-LTS , Linux , Linux-mainline but doesn’t work on either of them.
- Bluetooth works perfectly in Windows .
- Also tried cold booting the system multiple times
- On live booted Arconet Linux, bluetooth works perfectly fine but bluetooth doesn’t work on live booted Garuda Hyprland.
