1

Which Linux distro are you using?
Manjaro Sway
Which release version?
latest

Which kernel are you using?
I tried 6.3.17, 6.12.10, 6.11.9 (on 6.11.9 after restart bluetooth start working but then system freezed and I had to reboot it - then it stopped working again)
Also 6.12.19 linux-lts

Which BIOS version are you using?
probably latest

So the problem is that I can’t access bluetooth controller, bluetoothctl just says that there is no controllers at all

	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no

The strangest part is Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to get device id (-108) but I wasn’t able to find a solution in google

update: I reconnected Wi-Fi module and it started working. For 2 days.

Then laptop just freezed once again and after restart - no default controller for bluetooth.

Feels like something is wrong with hardware, like it’s glitching because of the voltage or something.

I tried to reconnect Wi-Fi module once again but it didn’t work out.

Random freezes with Arch Linux (requires hard reboot)

I’m running into the same issue on Arch Linux with my Framework Desktop.
Have you been able to work around the issue @Dmitry_Kisel?

Edit: A simple reboot fixed this.

Ran into the same issue on my Arch. BT did work but after a kernel update, it stopped working. I though this might work better with an officially supported distro so I move to Fedora. After install, BT worked but after a system update, I’m now back to no bluetooth working :joy:

Guess I can move back to my trusted Arch again, knowing that bluetooth doesn’t work on Fedora either…
