Thanks for the quick response!
Is a single wireless adapter responsible for both wifi and bluetooth?
Followed your steps:-
Installed Blueman but it failed to detect the adapter.
sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth status output
I didn't knew about the FN key shortcut.. I searched about that and found fn + f12 should turn bluetooth on but didn't happen. What else should I try?
Usually, yes.
What output do you get if you run:
sudo apt-get install rtl8821ce-dkms
You may need to get missing firmware:
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
sudo cp linux-firmware/rtw88/rtw8821c_fw.bin /lib/firmware/rtw88
Thanks for responding!
It seems I had that already installed.
Also it didn't generate any output for the sudo cp command(After I cloned the firmware.git)
Do you have blueman installed?
Keep in mind that sometimes hardware in computers are made by the manufacturer, to only support WINDOWS. This means no matter what you do, you will never get it working in linux. This might be the case for your unit.
As we already know that you do have a bluetooth adapter, and while that message from bluemean usually means you don't have one, we know you do have an adapter, cause you were using it on Windows.
There is an easier way around this issue. Go to whatever your country uses for an online store, they seem to differ global wide. We here use Amazon. Pickout a well rated bluetooth adapter that supports linux. It will be an USB dongle.
Then all you gotta do is plug that sucker into an available USB port, and I can 99% gurrantee you, that Blueman is going to pick that puppy up and say, do you wanna turn it on? And your going to say, heck yes I do, click!
Can you please download the following driver:
Open your Downloads folder, right click the Linux_BT_USB...tar.gz file and select extract here.
Double click into the newly created Linux_BT_USB... directory. Right click an open area and select "Open in terminal."
If the menu does not have that option for Gnome's file manager, then open a terminal with keyboard shortcut ctrl+alt+t
Paste into it:
cd ~/Downloads/Linux_BT_USB_v3.10_20170802_8821CU_BTCOEX_20170516-1616
Now enter in the installation command:
sudo make install -s
Check configuration:
hciconfig -a
Once done, reboot and test...
What does sudo modprobe btusb yield?
Can you try:
sudo apt-get install backport-iwlwifi-dkms
Let me know if you get an error that says includes a BUILD_EXCLUSIVE directive which does not match this kernel/arch. This indicates that it should not be built. Skipped.
What bluetooth devices have you tried connecting to?
Haven't tried any...just following what all you told to install
Can you please try connecting a bluetooth device and relaying the results?
How should I connect..can't turn on the Bluetooth manually and also tried running blueman it couldn't connect.
This is the part I was looking for. Sometimes, turning the device on and then running Blueman will jar the system and cause it to start working.
Ok I tried connecting my wireless buds..it still shows connection to bluez failed
