My Machine: Dell Vostro 5470 using Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon.
As usual, problems came when I start to fresh install the Linux Mint. I upgrade from LM 19.3 to LM 21.1 and directly got the problem. After doing some Terminal ninja’s then the Bluetooth ran well until I upgrade the kernel to the latest (please don’t ask why I do that). The same problem with the Bluetooth is coming back and I cannot find the answer for around a week. So here is some solution that you can try.
Btw, the problem with my machine is the Bluetooth is not active after I check using “sudo systemctl status bluetooth.service”. If you have the same problem as me then you can try step #3.
Another thing, the list is not mean they are continuing steps. You can choose which one you want to use.
- Check if there is the system blocks my Bluetooth using “rfkill list -all”. If it is blocked then unblock using “rfkill unblock Bluetooth”. Read more at https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/bluetooth.html.
- Some people said they can solve the problem using this step: (reference: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/bluetooth-icon-disappeared-from-panel/25783/2)
- Shutdown
- Unplug all power cables
- Long-press the power button (still unplugged) for 10 seconds.
- Plug in and power up.
- This part work for me: (https://askubuntu.com/questions/779911/bluetooth-status-inactive-dead)
- Check Bluetooth status using “sudo systemctl status bluetooth.service”
- Enable Bluetooth using “sudo systemctl enable bluetooth.service”
- Final step “sudo modprobe btusb”
I hope it can help.
Please do not ask me anything related to this because I have no idea what happens and why it was like that 😀
