"No Bluetooth adapters found" in Bluetooth settings on Kinoite

I installed Kinoite (latest) a few days ago on an old Samsung R580 laptop, however ever since I installed it I have not been able to use Bluetooth (unfortunate, since I have a bluetooth keyboard I would like to use with it). Whenever I check for the status of the service with sudo service bluetooth status, I get this:

Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status bluetooth.service
○ bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
    Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/system/service.d
             └─10-timeout-abort.conf
     Active: inactive (dead)
       Docs: man:bluetoothd(8)

Sep 14 14:28:35 fedora systemd[1]: bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service was skipped because of an unmet condition check (ConditionPathIsDirectory=/sys/class/bluetooth).

My first thought was to create /sys/class/bluetooth with a sudo mkdir to see if that would fix it, but it gave a “permission denied” (which I took as “don’t do that, this is in sys so you shouldn’t manually modify it”).

I have attempted to start the service with sudo systemctl start bluetooth && sudo systemctl enable bluetooth. When I ran sudo service bluetooth status after this, I got the following:

However, despite being initialized, there is still no adapter found. My next thought is to diagnose the hardware itself, however I am not sure if that is the right path to go down.

Also, people have mentioned in other forums that cold-restarting helped them, however that has not been the case for me. I have cold-restarted several times and sadly that has not fixed it.

Thank you!

We need to know the actual hardware.
lspci -nnk and select the part related to wifi and bluetooth to post here.

Once we have that then we can see which device and chipset is involved and may be able to locate a proper driver. Without a driver that is suitable the device cannot be used.

On my system I see this, and yours should be similar.

05:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX210/AX211/AX411 160MHz [8086:2725] (rev 1a)
	Subsystem: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX210 160MHz [8086:0024]
	Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
	Kernel modules: iwlwifi

lsusb -v gives

  bcdDevice            0.00
  iManufacturer           0 
  iProduct                0

and the output of inxi -Fzxxx shows

With that info the wifi chipset on mine is 8086:2725:8086:0024 and the bluetooth chipset is 8086:2725:8087:2032 (both are on the same card)

Thank you for your reply!

This is my network controller from lspci -nnk:

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) [168c:002b] (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. T77H121.05 802.11bgn Wireless Half-size Mini PCIe Card [105b:e025]
        Kernel driver in use: ath9k
        Kernel modules: ath9k

inxi gives “command not found”. I’ll see if I can add it to my system and post another reply with the info from it.

lsusb -v gives quite the long output, so I am putting that here at the end. I definitely see “Couldn’t open device” on a lot of these, which I am currently looking up.

I just installed inxi and ran inxi -Fzxxx, this is the Network part (there is no “Bluetooth” section):

Network:

Did you try any other distro and see if that has bluetooth? For example opensuse tumbleweed, kde neon, or endeavorOS?

I have not as I am pretty set on Kinoite (it almost perfectly fits my use-case). I might be able to spin up a VM later on and see if it will work on there

Qualcomm has a reputation for poor support in linux. In fact, a search for the chipset for that adapter showed many posts about windows problems and almost no reliable data about support on linux.

The most efficient fix, and usually cost effective, would be to purchase a new wifi/bluetooth adapter. The intel AX200 AX210 series seems well supported and worked flawlessly for me. I installed the intel card and it was instantly active when I booted back up. Intel directly supports linux drivers for its hardware.

You did not show us if you have a laptop or desktop (if you had posted the entire inxi output we would know that), but for either one there are intel cards in those chipset series that just work. Even on a laptop replacing a network card is really easy.

Sounds good, I will look into the adapters. Shame it doesn’t just work out of the box, but it is what it is. Thank you!

A VM probably doesnt help? Correct me if I am wrong, but your host OS would need the drivers and then forwars the network or connectivity to your VM. A live USB of some Ubuntu and some Arch may reveal if there ARE any drivers for that. Arch for latest kernel.
