no Bluetooth in Plasma Mobile. - Uturn - 11-07-2021

recently I flashed from Plamo dev to Plamo stable, as dev ist just not relly stable Big Grin .
Now both have currently a bluetooth but. Whilst Bluetooth is available in Settings, it is not possible to enable it.
When installing, manjaro plasma-mobile displayed there was an error in loading something bluetooth related.
A newer image, installed two days later, still is missing bluetooth ability.
Now sure the missing parts could be installed vian pacman.. but I don't know how.

It seems that downgrading kernel does the trick. I ran "sudo pacman -Syuu" and after restart the bluetooth was at least startable again Smile

reinstalled latest stable version. n restart after installtation, it messages 'mandatory config file not found. (plus a difficult to remember file name). Those github releases seem to be a very automated process, else I could not explain how over 10 releases appear without bluetooth functioning, for the trivial reason of one missing file.


RE: no Bluetooth in Plasma Mobile. - acrux - 11-10-2021

So you installed a daily build (there is no stable version Tongue ). If you want something more stable, then I'd recommend to use a beta version and stay at this by updating it with pacman. The latest beta version is Release Beta 8 and it is here.

It seems that when using quick reply or quick edit the link got destroyed.
Corrected in original post.

hmm, yes you're right I guess. I'll flash this Beta 8 and check it's bluetooth capabilites. I thought daily builds are that beta plus any updates added...

Did anyone find a solution to this problem? I have a pinephone Manjaro Plasma and it is up to date stable version and I cannot enable Bluetooth.

Replace the package rtl8723bt-firmware-megi with rtl8723bt-firmware (just install the latter with pacman and it will prompt you to remove the former automatically). The next beta image will have this (and the dev images do already), but updates won't fix a package change for you, you have to do that manually.

Edit: Same goes for Phosh. The package change can be seen here.
