Why is Bluetooth not recognized (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS)?

Framework Desktop

Try as I might, I can’t seem to get the Bluetooth radio to be recognized on my desktop. In Ubuntu, I get the unhelpful message “No Bluetooth Found - Plug in a dongle to use Bluetooth”.

Running these commands yield nothing:
$ sudo modprobe btusb
$ sudo rmmod btusb
$ sudo systemctl start bluetooth

This shows only WLAN, no Blueooth:
$ rfkill list all

I’m at a loss. What else can I try?

Don’t have mine yet, but I think 25.04 with a much newer kernel should work better out of the box. You could try mainline kernel with 24.04. if it has to be LTS. 25.10 will be available in about two weeks too. My guess is that you’ll have to wait for 26.04 if you want a LTS version that supports the new-ish hardware of the FW Desktop without tinkering.
