Gday @khanozai , Welcome to the community!
Can you tell us more about the bluetooth?
usb/pci?
The make & model of the bluetooth?
Your machine spec's/make & model?
i am using Sony VAIO Model: SVF14A15CLB. and full new on linux.
plz give me command to find for now i am unable to find. i am new on zorin os.
here you go. share the output of these two commands.
lshw and lspci
This May have a solution worth trying:
My Problem was just a naming issue :-
$ dmesg | grep -i 'bluetooth'
if you are facing some naming problem,the output of above command should be somthing like this ->
Bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for brcm/BCM43142A0-0489-e062.hcd failed with error -2
Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: Patch brcm/BCM43142A0-0489-e062.hcd not foundThe Problem here is in this folder : /lib/firmware/brcm
$ ls /lib/firmware/brcm/*.hcd
The above command gives output of some *.hcd file (in my case BCM.hcd).
But my kernal is looking for BCM43142A0-0489-e062.hcd.
All you need to do is make a copy and rename.$ cp /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM43142A0-0489-e062.hcd (in my case)
Restart the PC and will see the frimware is loaded.
BAM!!
Now you can see bluetooh is working.
Done.
Open the terminal & copy & paste the below command:
cp /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM43142A0-0489-e062.hcd
Then restart your machine & try the bluetooth.
bro Ocka give mr command i put and share the result .
