I don’t have an internal bluetooth adapter on this motherboard, hence the use of the adapter.

Thanks for your inxi again. Is this inxi fresh after a reboot?If i do disable my BT on startup (i have to enable manually like you)

No, you can check in garuda-inxi

↻ means reboot system to use new settings, kernel and so on.

Yeah sorry, below is a fresh inxi after updating and rebooting.

So far my findings are :

  • Bluetooth is indeed enabled on startup
  • But it gets disabled right after that when Steam autolaunches
  • If i remove Steam from autolaunch list, bluetooth stays enabled (but gets disabled as soon as i maually start Steam)
  • The issue seems to be related to the -steamos3 option of Steam which i currently need for some games to work properly with gamescope.

=> The issue is most likely related with Steam itself and more precisely to the -steamos3 option that probably does some seamos-related hardware things that cause the bluetooth to get disabled.

Try this:

Blacklist the btusb module at startup.

Then auto launch steam at startup.

After steam has started, manually load the btusb module:

sudo modprobe -v btusb

Please post the output of the modprobe attempt.

I doubt this will help, but it’s worth testing as the order the btusb module is loaded can affect if Bluetooth will actually work.

I’ve tried that right now :

  • Blacklist btusb in /etc/modproble.d/blacklist.conf
  • Keep Steam autolaunch
  • Reboot
    => Bluetooth doesn’t show up at all in the system tray
  • Wait until Steam has finished starting up
  • Run sudo modproble -v btusb
    => Command succeeds and bluetooth shows in system tray (but is initially disabled)

Output of modprobe:

sudo modprobe -v btusb

did you try startup without gamescope?Did this issue can be related to it.

30

Gamescope is used only when i start a game itself, not when starting Steam.

So at the moment bluetooth gets disabled, gamescope has never been launched yet.

31

i have also steam but my bluetooth dosnt get disabled on startup.
did you try to watch in the controller settings may it conflict with it.
maybe you backup your games and reinstall it ?..

Nah i think it’s really linked to one very specific option of Steam -steamos3 that i need to use these days.

If i just remove this option the bluetooth problem disappears.

I’ll mark this thread as solved as i don’t think we can find anything more than just that and i can live with two clicks after each reboot to enable bluetooth.
