How do I properly check my bluetooth version on my DIY Framework 13 laptop using Ubuntu 22.04?
I have a choco corne split bluetooth keyboard that is not showing up on my laptop (it connects to my iphone and another windows computer).
Thank you.
I suggest ‘blueman’. It provides a great deal more detail and control than Ubuntu/Gnome’s default feature.

Thank you for the suggestion. Even with blueman my laptop cannot detect the keyboard. It’s really frustrating because the keyboard connects to iphone/windows computer, and my laptop can connect to bluetooth mouse and airpods. I don’t know why this is happening between them.
That’s unusual. Have you placed it in pairing mode?
I have. I’ve even tried going in the terminal and using Bluetoothctl to see if it shows up there (making sure I set power on, scan on, discoverable on, default-agent), it still doesn’t show up. I don’t know if I should try updating Ubuntu itself or reflashing firmware on the keyboard.
ZMK firmware, right?
Hmm, I believe that would likely be a nice!nano with a Nordic nRF52840 or other Nordic nRF52*, nRF53* based board.
You could google for other people running into problems with a nRF52840 paired to BT/wifi card you have in your Framework.
Shouldn’t hurt to upgrade to 24.04 LTS. Maybe there were bugs in the older BT drivers that are fixed in 24.04 (along with exciting new bugs added perhaps!).
You could always give clearing the keyboard’s settings and / or reflashing firmware a shot. I wouldn’t think it would help, being that the BT device seemingly isn’t showing up at in ubuntu. But hey, not hard to do, so worth a shot.
