bluetooth not working linux 7.1.3

Yoruu_. · 2026-07-19 17:35:10

hello this is my first time trying arch linux and everything seems fine , but when i tried to connect my bluetooth dongle it refused to connect
i have been searching all over the web and tried a few patches but nothing works sadly
now i'm out of options and i hope there is a solution
rfkill was soft blocked and i unblocked

sudo btmon output

We'll have to figure

* what else might be wrong on the bus

Please post your complete system journal for the boot after trying to pair some BT device

sudo journalctl -b | curl -s -H "Accept: application/json, */*" --upload-file - 'https://paste.c-net.org/'

and also

lsusb -tv

Does the dongle show up in

rfkill

?

Yoruu_. · 2026-07-20 13:49:47

it shows in rfkill , when i boot the pc its always soft blocked so i unblocked it

you asked for this

Do you have https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … odeswitch/ and also did you re-plug the dongle after installing the patched driver (keep it unplugged for some seconds)

Yoruu_. · 2026-07-20 15:38:08

both links you sent me i actually checked yesterday night
and yes i kept it unplugged for 30 seconds
and yes i have usb_modeswitch

This might be a goosechase, but I wonder if the patched driver works with the LTS kernel.

Yoruu_. · 2026-07-20 17:46:34

sadly i tried lts and nope
both no

topcat01 · 2026-07-20 18:26:52

Maybe it's time to contact the developer of the patch.

seth · 2026-07-20 19:42:48

both links you sent me i actually checked yesterday night

I figured (at least for the linked patch) - it was just for reference about what's going on on your system.

this is the journalctl after patch

Acutally it's a filter - do you still get the modeswitch errors?

Since this is a dongle and radio draws quite some power:

/:  Bus 002.Port 001: Dev 001, Class=root_hub, Driver=ohci-pci/5p, 12M
    ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
    |__ Port 004: Dev 004, If 0, Class=Wireless, Driver=btusb, 12M
        ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

Does it work if you plug it into the USB 3 hub?

Yoruu_. · 2026-07-21 10:27:02

sadly not working on USB 3 hub too

Yoruu_. · 2026-07-21 13:18:27

i'm sad to announce that i tried to use sudo pacman -Syu again
kernal updated hyprland broke
something about libhyprutils.so.12 not found i think
tried reinstalling hyprland to no avail
any suggestions currently i will not be able to test since i'm locked out of arch (currently on windows)

seth · 2026-07-21 14:59:08

pacman -Qs hypr

currently on windows

3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

Edit: this is relevant since radio is the primary victim of this condition, though in theory I'd expect re-attaching the dongle to clear the state but who knows…

dear seth ,fast startup was off for 4 years , as as said my pc is old as shit and used to crash alot in the past, and having fast startup enabled bricked it 2/4 times cuz the pc lost power
and as i said , i cannot get into linux currently as hyprland refuses to start after i updated to linux 7.1.4
and before u say the lts version sir that updated too and also has issues with hyprland
file missing is libhyprutils.so.12

seth · 2026-07-21 16:06:51

i cannot get into linux currently as hyprland refuses to start after i updated

What does hyprland have to do w/ "get into linux"?
=> 2nd link below

Yoruu_. · 2026-07-22 11:46:50

nothing i just forgot i can use ctrl+alt+f4
doesn't matter
anyway , as i said its not fast sturtup problems from windows i have that disabled long ago

seth · 2026-07-22 11:58:37

seth wrote:

pacman -Qs hypr

and the actual hyprland error you get might be relevant.
(The 2nd link below actually just shows how to boot the multi-user.target)

About fast-start: since windows keeps enabling it w/ updates, have you recently check that it's *still* disabled?

Yoruu_. · 2026-07-22 13:47:03

i wish it was hyprland was relevent but the error was just a missing utils file due to update (i forgot i installed it usin cmake meaning i had to recompile it all after update )

error while loading shared libraries: libhyprutils.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

as for windows i'm using windows 10 (pc can't handle 11 ) , which didn't have an upgrade for a long time , i will check again regardless
oh yeah and about the 2nd link i read that

So is that situation now sorted out?

Resp. post a complete system journal to illustrate the new status quo.
