When I turn on my computer (macbook 2016 on latest Fedora) sometimes the bluetooth wont be on, and if I click to turn it on it will stay off. Only solution is to reboot, then it works (most of the time, there is a small % chance it will still be off). Bluetooth service is on and active, its not blocked either, so Idk what to do. Restarting it via console wont do anything. Any idea ? Thanks !
This sounds like a race condition where bluetooth is trying to start before the adapter is fully configured.
It should be possible to delay bluetooth start until after the device is configured but without more info about your system I cannot provide the details.
Please post the output of inxi -Fzxx (using the preformatted text tags with the </> button on the toolbar) so we can tell the hardware and then move forward toward a solution.
Maybe one of the macbook experts here can provide more guidance.
So the problem has been fixed by installing this driver (leifliddy’s bluetooth driver for macbook 12). The problem hasnt showed up since
