 |

Hi. I have an Acer Aspire E 15 laptop.
I have followed this Bluetooth Guide, but I have no sign of bluetooth.
| Code: | # dmesg | grep "Bluetooth"
[ 0.192306] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.22

Yes, I have enabled multiple brands on kernel, but saw no difference.
| Code: | $ bluetoothctl
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# list
[bluetooth]# power on
No default controller available
[bluetooth]# quit
|
But when I boot a live-CD, Bluetooth works fine, what make me think that isn't a hardware problem.
Where did I went wrong?
Edit__________________________________________________________
I found out that my hardware is Atheros (LSUSB), then I recompile the kernel end install blueman wich is not at the guide; I tested it with my Philco speakers and worked.
Thanks.

Now I have the same problem again: after a restart, my notebook show the icon no more and the blueman doen't open its window.
I really can't understand what is going on.
Thanks any help.

Your dmesg output points to a problem:
| Code: | [ 1.657996] Bluetooth: Patch file not found ar3k/AthrBT_0x31010000.dfu
[ 1.657998] Bluetooth: Loading patch file failed |
Have you seen the following post, which seems to indicate that -- providing /lib/firmware/ar3k/AthrBT_0x31010000.dfu actually exists -- the above error can be solved by ensuring all the applicable Bluetooth entries in the kernel config are set: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1040890-start-0.html
Are the Bluetooth-related modules loaded after you reboot? What does the command 'lsmod' return?
What does your kernel configuration currently contain for Bluetooth?:
| Code: | | grep CONFIG_BT_ /usr/src/linux/.config |
Also, if Bluetooth works when you boot a LiveCD, it would be worth comparing the output of the lsmod command in both cases, and the output of the above-mentioned grep command in both cases.

If lsmod show no module loaded it's because you have put every configuration options you have enable in the kernel image itself. That's mean that the needed firmware and patch files for the hardware the kernel support must be in kernel image otherwise, the initialisation of those devices will fail. This can explain why your bluetooth device do no work. At initialisation time the kernel do not find the needed patch file as pointed by Fitzcarraldo in your kernel messages.
As a rule I put everything Linux do not need to boot properly in modules. If you do so with bluetooth it should work if the needed patch file is install where the kernel search for it from your real root directory.

I don't have bluetooth enabled in my kernels, but even once you get that sorted, Xfce4 may not automagically display an icon for it. I had to emerge one of the xfce-xtra/ plugins to even get a volume control in my panel.

That's what I did. The system can better choose the right module, instead of put it all into the kernel.
Now it looks ok, no more missing icon.
Thanks folks!

The wiki's article doesn't tell about blueman; rc service and bluez aren't enough for bluetooth to work properly and I decide to give it a try and worked for me. I found out that all the tray icon's functions are managed by blueman, not by bluez.
Thanks for answering.

I'm trying to get away from gnome desktop to something less resource-hungry and explore xfce4
I also stumbled upon unavailability of bluetooth manager in xfce4 default install. I tried to emerge blueman:
| Code: |
PF16W6Y2 ~ # emerge -av blueman
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Is there a way to have both gnome and xfce4 functional on one system? |

Try to disable bluetooth use flag to gnome-base/gnome-core-apps, gnome-base/gnome-control-center and gnome-base/gnome-shell and remove net-wireless/gnome-bluetooth
