Hi all,
On my new installation I can't connect to bluetooth devices. If I open Bluetooth Manager Search & Device are both greyed out.
I have the following error messages:
Bluez Daemon is not running, blueman-manager cannot continue. This probably means that there were no bluetooth adaptors detected or Bluetooth daemon was not started.
Bluetooth does not appear on my rfkill list.
sudo systemctl status bluetooth yields:
bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service skipped, unmet condition check ConditionPathIsDirectory
My network controller is Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
I've read up on this a bit & tried one or two things which haven't worked such as reverting to the earlier kernel & doing a hard rese
I'm grateful for any advice.
Plus. It may be relevant. I keep getting status notifications that my internet connection (wifi) has just been disconnected. I've never seen that before. It is a very old Acer Aspire. Maybe I have a hardware problem?
[META (with apologies) how do you leave the mark-up for code? Plus: I keep being told that I didn't do the verification correctly for my message when I most certainly did.]
At the start of your code, put the word "code" inside the square brackets, and at the end of your code, put "/code" inside square brackets.
To sort your bluetooth issue, I would begin, if you can, by rebooting your downloaded siduction ISO, and check that to see whether your bluetooth hardware was detected, and whether a systemd daemon was launched in the live session.
Can you provide the output of
$ sudo lsusb -v|grep -A8 -B8 bDeviceProtocol|grep -A8 -B8 BluetoothYou should see something like

bNumConfigurations 1Your PCI Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) wlan card
(VendorID: 168c ProductID: 0032) is most likely bundled with your USB Bluetooth dongle.
Before any bluetooth driver can be loaded, the system must detect the USB device.
As you can see in my case the USB Product ID (ASUS) does not hint at the original manufacturer
Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) (168c:0034) of the card.
If your output is nonempty, we can proceed from there.
