Lenova Yoga 11s - Bluetooth hardware not found?

English Hardware
1

I tried Ubuntu and was not able to get bluetooth to work.
Now I am trying openSUSE and I cannot get it to work either.

Anyone have this working on the Yoga machines?

Hi
Can you install the package rfkill and show the output from the command line;


su -
zypper in rfkill
rfkill list
3

linux-nb5y:~ # rfkill list
0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

Hi
OK, so soft blocked (means a Fn+) should turn it on, lets try with rfkill first;


rfkill unblock 1
rfkill list
5

linux-nb5y:~ # rfkill unblock 1
linux-nb5y:~ # rfkill list
0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

So it should be working now?


hciconfig

Not sure.
I don’t see anywhere there is bluetooth?

Should I have an icon or something?
Do I need to install the software?

Hi
So do you see info from the command;


hciconfig

What desktop environment are you using, GNOME, XFCE, KDE etc?

9

When I type hciconfig nothing happens.
Just goes to the next line in the terminal.

Using the latest openSUSE with KDE

Hi
Hmmm, maybe need to check the bluetooth service as you should see something like;


 hciconfig 
hci0:    Type: BR/EDR  Bus: USB
    BD Address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx  ACL MTU: 1022:8  SCO MTU: 121:3
    UP RUNNING PSCAN 
    RX bytes:1006 acl:0 sco:0 events:47 errors:0
    TX bytes:915 acl:0 sco:0 commands:45 errors:0

If it shows down, then restart the bluetooth service;


systemctl restart bluetooth.service
systemctl status bluetooth.service

You should see it running and not showing any errors?

11

Maybe it’s a firmware issue. Do you have the kernel-firmware package installed? If not, install it

zypper in kernel-firmware

I get nothing with hciconfig

pete@linux-nb5y:~> hciconfig
pete@linux-nb5y:~> systemctl status bluetooth.service
bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service

Did you read my comments regarding firmware?

14

i did check the firmware and it said it was up to date with no changes.

I found the KDE Bluetooh application.
It states “adapter not found”

I have a USB adapter I am going to see if I can get a response from.

15

I have a USB bluetooth working without issues.

Still cant get the internal bluetooth to work.

I think that Suse thinks it is a USB device?

I think that Suse thinks it is a USB device?

Most are in fact connected to the USB-subsystem.

/usr/sbin/hwinfo --bluetooth
