13.1 64bit Bluetooth adapter not found.

I cannot get the bluetooth adapter to be found and load. I know it should works as it did previously with Fedora install. However I cannot see it in lspic.

Using hcitool didn’t provide any info

[root modprobe.d]$  hcitool scan
Device is not available: No such device
[root modprobe.d]$  hcitool dev

Looking for further info I found this.

[sayth flask-blog]$  sudo lsmod |grep blue 
root's password:
bluetooth             431263  6 btusb,bnep
6lowpan_iphc           18702  1 bluetooth
rfkill                 26772  5 bluetooth,cfg80211,acer_wmi

It doesn’t appear hard blocked at all to my understanding of rfkill

[root flask-blog]$  rfkill list

        Hard blocked: no

[root flask-blog]$  systemctl enable bluetooth.service
[root flask-blog]$  systemctl start bluetooth.service
[root flask-blog]$

What can I do to enable the device?

Hi
Use the command lsusb (it’s a usb device), what desktop environment are you using?

Hi
Sounds similar to this one…

Is your system all up to date?

Looking at that thread similar, except I am on 13.1 not Tumbleweed.

I have tried this on the latest kernel and 3.11.10-7 but they all report no adapter found.

Hi,

I have the similar problem. My Logitech T630 ultrathin mouse cannot be recognized by my computer, which has OpenSuSE 13.1 64-bit installed.
I installed Broadcom driver with command /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware, and command lspci does show the Broadcom wireless controller:
…
75:03.0 PCI bridge: PLX Technology, Inc. PEX 8605 PCI Express 4-port Gen2 Switch (rev aa)
76:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03)
78:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I211 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03)

Command lsmod| grep blue displays:

linux-vcrx:/home/jyhshyong # lsmod | grep blue
bluetooth 396742 5 bnep
rfkill 26487 5 bluetooth,cfg80211

But bluetooth-wizard’s scan does not found any bluetooth device.

I also modified file /usr/share/gnome-bluetooth/pin-code-database.xml according to
http://www.linux-hardware-guide.com/fr/2014-02-01-logitech-t630-ultrathin-touch-maus-usb

The computer just cannot scan any bluetooth device.

@Jyh-Shyong I would just add your details to the bug report I have above if you think its similar or lodge a new bug.

I have had the bluetooth turn on randomly, it came on last night and worked perfect but today its gone again. Unsure what exactly is causing it.

Yes, please do, hopefully someone will take care of this problem.
