Updated Fedora, Bluetooth No Longer Working

Framework Laptop 13 Linux

Installed Fedora Workstation 42, Bluetooth was working. Updated it, Bluetooth has stopped working. Can boot from the older version of Fedora Workstaton 42 on the installation USB and Bluetooth works.

Attempted to rollback to the previous version of “bluez” as per another user’s post on this forum, but that did not resolve my issue. Does anyone know what I might be able to do to bring Bluetooth back online?

If you go to the terminal and type

rpm -qa | grep ^bluez

What are the version numbers?

Mine had to be:

bluez-5.80-1.fc42.x86_64
bluez-cups-5.80-1.fc42.x86_64
bluez-libs-5.80-1.fc42.x86_64
bluez-obexd-5.80-1.fc42.x86_64

… otherwise bluetooth wouldn’t work.

Downgrade and reboot fixed it for me.

sudo dnf downgrade bluez

This changed the version from 5.83 to 5.80
