Another bluetooth not working on debian 11

#1 Post by edi0th »

Hi everyone,
when I was on debian 9, bluetooth worked fine. I upgraded with 10, and at this point, bluetooth stopped working. I tired fixing it, but failed, and abandonned. Now I upgraded to 11, hoping that it would work, but it's still the same... : /

I've got a thinkpad T450s, with the Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 Network controller that is supposed to control bluetooth.

I'm not sure of wich output show to you in order to help me figuring this out, so here are some but if you need anything else let me know : /
I've got iwlwifi installed, bluetooth is not disabled in bios, and don't have any hardware switch.

dmesg | grep firmware

But it returned

     Active: inactive (dead)

I had issue for a while with the bluetooth as well, eventually those were fixed through an update.
I remember I was able to "talk" through terminal but not to connect to anything, also check the Arch Wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth
You may try to reinstall the package firmware.

Bluetooth has been always an headache on Linux...

EDIT: Did you check the bios setup? Is it a laptop?
