Staudey

Can you post the output of sudo journalctl -xeu bluetooth.service

xjdwc

Found on the web: sudo systemctl reload dbus and them sudo systemctl start bluetooth

xjdwc

pomon
Tried both commands. The first one gave no errors. The second gave me the same error as before

Job for bluetooth.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status bluetooth.service" and "journalctl -xeu bluetooth.service" for details.

Thanks to both you @pomon & @Staudey for your help. I appreciate your time and effort!

I sense a solution won't be found. Again, thank you both for your help. I'll survive 😆

xjdwc when you make moves like that always good to reboot. at least try it before you write the whole thing off. 2 cents

xjdwc I havent kept up on it think some ppl where having issues with bluez
check make sure its installed (from software center) and some ppl where going back to the previous version
and having it work.
(Dunno just info)

Yeah I start to get pessimistic real fast haha. But I did reboot after each action, but no success.

Thanks, It seems it is related to bluez. I just have no Idea. This is all way above my head.

pomon Well, I found it. It won't hurt to try

You are a machine! Thanks for this, at first I didn't no what I was looking at, then I saw the command to enter.

MAJOR UPDATE** I followed the instructions given in the link: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1009987

Steps I took

Opened Konsole
Entered command:
- sudo install -m 700 -d /var/lib/bluetooth
Restarted Bluetooth? I'm not sure if I did it right:
- sudo systemctl restart bluetooth.service
Rebooted Laptop

After Reboot these are the noted changes

Visible Bluetooth System Tray Entry
Bluetooth Settings No longer Blank (Clicking Enable Does nothing)

Output of: sudo systemctl status bluetooth.service

Output of: sudo journalctl -xeu bluetooth.service

Definitely surprised from the progress/results. Didn't expect any success at all. I'm now optimistic.
Unfortunately though, still no bluetooth. Any Ideas?

Thank you all for your help with this. You are all awesome 😃

pomon

Well, I found it. It won't hurt to try

Ok. Show lsmod | grep bt and systemctl status bluetooth.target
Proposal. Install kernel LTS, switch to it and see if it is BT sudo eopkg it linux-lts

xjdwc

pomon
Output of: lsmod |grep bt

Output of: sudo systemctl status bluetooth.target

I'll install kernal LTS and get back to you about the results

pomon

Some suggest

sudo modprobe -r btusb
sudo modprobe btusb

xjdwc

pomon Some suggest
sudo modprobe -r btusb
sudo modprobe btusb

Still no success. Thanks for all your suggestions. Hopefully a future update magically fixes it.
