hi there, first time around: I’ve browsed through the archives and it seems similar problems have been reported by and then but I cannot solve the issue nonetheless:
-
newly installed leap 15.4 on 6y old thinkpad T460s
-
KDE plasma 5.24.4
-
in system settings → bluetooth, bluetooth is listed as “disabled”
-
pushing the “enable” button does not have any effect (does not switch the reported status to “enabled”)
-
system tray icon “bluetooth” is hidden. when hitting “add new device” it goes into infinite “scanning” loop and (unsurprisingly) does not find any devices.
-
‘rfkill’ lists devices “tpacpi_bluetooth_sw” and “hci0” (both of type “bluetooth”) as SOFT and HARD unblocked.
with which I am at my wits end…
simple question: how can I get bluetooth enabled and functional?
thank you,
joerg
