Can't Connect or Enable Bluetooth on Plasma

Axios

Brucehankins I ran across that in my travels Had it in the back of my mind
but I cant really remb alot I think they killed the service or something and restarted or something
but after they did that didnt seem to have issue.
Man going from memory sorry not of help I will look back when have time see if I saved it.
Yes there was issues with bluetooth and tlp
But those commands above dont look familiar to what I read.
I thought at the time should I save this. (maybe i did)

WetGeek in Bruce's case it was #2 and I think Axios Axios hit on it: when you introduce a program to control the battery power or conserve it..it may take disable bluetooth thinking it is a power drainer.
my take on this, anyway. likely wrong🙂

WetGeek

brent the TLP thing is strange; seemingly so unrelated.

With no idea what TLP means, I asked my ChatGP client.

Unfortunately, I still have no idea what it means in this case.

That might be something we looked at earlier. I think Tom was using something of the kind in order to extend his battery life. I don't run my laptops without an A/C connection, so it wasn't very exciting for me. The proposed answer makes a lot of sense. There needs to be a way to tell it to make an exception of Bluetooth.

Axios

I would start by looking in tlp.conf anything about bluethtooth related and see about disabling autosuspend for bluetooth
Been reading best answer I can give for starters
of coarse if you disable that prob effect yer battery but if you need bluetooth got do what you gotta do.
Its a lowpower item unless you are paired so its kinda mute then

I just uninstalled TLP. I've got power-profiles-daemon, cpufrequtils, and powertop all working to get me that extra 5 minutes 😂. Really though, I need to read up on configuring tlp more before I reinstall it. Unfortunately my speakers are terrible, so to watch anything at an acceptable volume I connect my JBL Go portable via Bluetooth, so it's a bit of a necessity for me right now. Actual speakers are out of the question because I only use it for media when lounging in bed or on the couch.

According to Arch folks, TLP and power-profiles-daemon are incompatible as they both fight to manage power.

Also check if your Bluetooth adapter is on a USB bus: if so, check your USB settings in TLP.

Brucehankins

clauded yeah, they are in conflict l, I've removed TLP for power-profiles-daemon. My Bluetooth is built in to my m.2 AX200 card.

Two words in Google search engine will give the correct answer: "tlp Linux" (so Staudey won't have to do the work). 🙂

I didn't. I used it as an AI engine.

After thinking about it all day driving..lol
That other than what the main Os and the computer bios setting have on the newer stuff that something like this is like swimming upstream and I am not sure the benefit is that great maybe one of the greatest I could see if on a laptop It might run alot cooler.
Just dont know if the stress reward is there.
I Use this It does change the cpu freq on this ideapad ok but not sure amount of benefits.

Axios I'm going to give this a shot and see if it helps. It seems very similar to what you do with cpufrequtils or cpupower-gui. On my old Pentium 3558U, I can't run anything less than "balanced" because the CPU just doesn't have the horsepower to be throttled and still provide a good experience. I'm curious to see how this works with the Ryzen 3 chip.
