Hi
I reinstalled openSUSE Tumbleweed on my laptop, this time with GNOME and now Bluetooth doesn’t work/not found. It worked before when I was using KDE.
Please tell me what commands I should run to provide additional info and I appreciate any help!
@hdir did you try moving the slider at the top right to on? If that doesn’t work, as root user can you show the output from rfkill list.
It’s disabled and can’t be moved. I’m outdoors right now and I’ll provide the output from that command as soon as I’m home.
Here’s the output:
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
Some more information:

I’m on a laptop and interestingly this command doesn’t seem to recognize the bluetooth module.

Can you try bluetoothctl?
@hdir I see gnome-control-c[4199]: BluetoothHardwareAirplaneMode: 0 can you check there isn’t a Fn key combination disabling? But as @marel indicates, bluetoothctl may glean more info.
I just did and I was able to pair my phone and earbuds via bluetoothctl, however the GNOME GUI still says “No Bluetooth Found”?
So I guess that Bluetooth by itself is working and just something is wrong with gnome’s ui - is there a way to fix that?
I tried the Fn combinations and it doesn’t seem like it’s disabled that way, given that bluetoothctl works - just not the GNOME GUI.
@hdir I have a bluetooth dongle here on Tumbleweed and MicroOS Desktop and GNOME settings work…
I have the following bluez related packages installed;
i | bluez | Bluetooth Stack for Linux | package
i | bluez-auto-enable-devices | Configuration that automatically enables all bluetooth devices | package
i | bluez-cups | CUPS Driver for Bluetooth Printers | package
i+ | bluez-firmware | Bluetooth(TM) Firmware | package
i | gnome-bluetooth | GNOME Bluetooth graphical utilities | package
i+ | kernel-firmware-bluetooth | Kernel firmware files for various Bluetooth drivers | package
I’m also running pipewire, no pulse-audio.
I already have all of these packages installed, yet it still doesn’t seem to recognize bluetooth in settings and the quick menu.
@hdir so if you use bluetoothctl power on, the slider moves?
No, it doesn’t move. It still says “No Bluetooth Found” and the slider disabled.
@hdir all very strange… and does bluetoothctl list show the device? Does the device show in the output from lsusb?
It’s an integrated chip with both Intel WiFi and Bluetooth and yes it does show.
Anyway, I decided to switch to KDE and now it works here.
