Bluetooth daemon errors?

Hardware Support
1

This is my first topic on the forum about this, I have an Ideapad slim 3 with a 2 in one network adapter with the model number and make: "Realtek RTL8852BE". Whenever I try to turn on Bluetooth to utilise my Bluetooth peripherals, it keeps graying out the button and flat out refusing to work. I have a patchwork fix, but that only works once and I have to restart my laptop to perform it again. Is there any drivers on release for zorin os 18 pro for network and communication adapters?

also, for reference. The photos included. Would greatly appreciate any help with this <3

Welcome to the Forum!

  • Are Secure Boot and Fast Boot in BIOS disabled?
  • If Windows is still installed: Is Fast Start-Up in Windows disabled?
  • Does Your System run in Wayland or X11? You can check that with echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE and when it runs in Wayland, I would suggest to try it with switching to X11/Xorg. To do that go to the Login Screen. Click there on Your Profile so that the Password Field appears. When it is appeared, You should see a Gear Icon in the bottom right Corner. Click on it and choose the Option ''Zorin Desktop on Xorg'' and then log in.
  • Could You post the Output of the Terminal Commands sudo lshw -C multimedia and rfkill list please?
  • Did you take a Look in the ''Additional Drivers'' Tab in Software & Updates if there is a Driver offered?
  • Open /etc/bluetooth/main.conf and check if AutoEnable is set to true (should be in the 3. Textblock from the bottom):

  • Check in Your BIOS if there are maybe Bluetooth Options and if they are disabled

What is your fix?

Well, I had to reconnect my USB dongle every reboot, but solved it by a ultra-simple trick: delay the bluetooth service start by 5 secs.

To do it, just edit settings:
sudo systemctl edit bluetooth.service

Look for [Service] section and add this line:

[Service]
ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 5

CTRL+O to save, Enter, CTRL+X to exit.

Then reload to apply new settings:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload

I found it on Reddit. Maybe it could be added to Zorin default settings, because there isn´t any issue delaying bluetooth service from start, and it does fix issues.
