Description ali.sherif10 2018-12-27 14:07:44 UTC
Description of problem:
Bluetooth in HP laptop doesn't work, because the driver isn't in the kernel or packaged.
There are some guides in the internet, but they aren't integrated in kernel and aren't guaranteed to work.

Actual results:
I can't use bluetooth.

Expected results:
I can use bluetooth.

Additional info:
Laptop: HP Pavilion g6.
Ralink wifi works, but the wifi button is always red (It's supposed to be white, while wifi is enabled).

Distribution: Fedora 29 KDE Spin (64 bit).
All packages are updated.

The problem isn't fixed in Ubuntu, OpenSUSE and Arch also.

For completeness, could you post the output from these commands:

$ uname -r
$ lspci -nnk -d 1814:  # include the colon

From the attached screenshot, the vendor:device id is 1814:3298, which is mentioned in this bug report from 2013:

Bug 907594 - Bluetooth adapter not found in 3.7 kernel but OK in 3.6

I tried to format text by adding "```". :)

Comment 7 ali.sherif10 2018-12-29 10:26:40 UTC
bluetoothctl lags, until I close it by CTRL+c.

# dmesg | grep -i bluetooth  # Only gave output after su.
[85022.921931] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.22

Now, it worked as non-root.

Thanks for posting the uname and lspci output. You don't need to format anything -- maintainers are used to looking at that stuff ... :-)

> Now, it worked as non-root.

If you are in group "wheel", you can run many administrative commands without being "root":

$ groups
joeuser wheel

Thanks for reporting that. I opened a bug for the "bluez" package:

Bug 1662536 - bluetoothctl hangs when there are no bluetooth devices

...

Getting the LEDs to work is a separate problem. I suggest opening a new bug for that.

Comment 12 Steve 2018-12-29 16:19:04 UTC
BTW, it might be faster and easier to buy a USB bluetooth adapter at a well-known online retailer.

This one has Linux support:

Plugable USB Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy Micro Adapter (Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Raspberry Pi, Linux Compatible; Classic Bluetooth, and Stereo Headset Compatible)
