gnome install - no bluetooth (SOLVED)

#1 Post by gychang »

I installed using debian-live-11.1.0-amd64-gnome+nonfree.iso. Everything seem working but no bluetooth. I know I do have the adapter that was working in ubuntu. In settings, under bluetooth, no adapter found...
lspci, I get this.

firmware-atheros?

Code: Select all

# dmesg | gep firmware 
to confirm.

I followed instructions here: https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList#Usi ... ext_editor
and added contrib and non-free components to sources.list followed by apt update and reboot but still nothing on the bluetooth tab in setting.

You need to install firmware-realtek and firmware-atheros.
