Oh.

I thought we were testing to see if stuff worked with Debian 9, is that not the case?

I'm very sorry but I really don't know how to use Bluetooth so you may have to ask elsewhere, but I'm happy to keep trying here if you want.

mx · 2017-11-30 08:15:10

the problem i had with debian 9 was the same problem i had with bunsenlabs (it says i need an adaptator)

Have you tried a live session of either the latest ubuntu or fedora to see if bluetooth works there?

mx · 2017-12-01 11:01:24

I am trying with the last Ubuntu, and when i try to configure bluetooth, it says ..
not adapter found

What makes you think you have bluetooth on this laptop?

What is the laptop make and model? Are there bios options to disable bluetooth? Can you post up the terminal output of 'lspci' and 'lsusb' and 'rfkill list' (you will probably need to install the rfkill package).

[EDIT] Oh, and what was the output of 'sudo bluetoothctl'?

That's actually a good question... I checked it out and it seems that my laptop have bluetooth,

mx@mx:~$ dmesg | grep -i blue

mx@mx:~$

(i got the instructions to check it out here)

What is the laptop make and model?

my laptop is an Aspire E1-571G

Are there bios options to disable bluetooth?

No idea, and don't know how to check it.

Can you post up the terminal output of 'lspci' and 'lsusb' and 'rfkill list' (you will probably need to install the rfkill package).

I don't understand what i have to do to do that.

Oh, and what was the output of 'sudo bluetoothctl'?

mx@mx:~$ sudo bluetoothctl
[sudo] password for mx: 
[bluetooth]# 



mx@mx:~$ sudo bluetoothctl
[sudo] password for mx: 
[bluetooth]#

Check your BIOS menus for anything that says "bluetooth" — a BIOS menu is what you can see before BunsenLabs' booting screen (sometimes you have to press a function key during booting to bring it up).

Can you post up the terminal output of 'lspci' and 'lsusb' and 'rfkill list' (you will probably need to install the rfkill package).

Run the three commands in a terminal and post whatever appears.

To install the rfkill package, use:

sudo apt install rfkill

I didn't see anything there.

^ That `rfkill` output shows that you have no working Bluetooth on that machine (I think).

From my system (I had to load the modules first because I blacklist them):

so? do i have to get any extra device to have bluetooth in my laptop, then?

Head_on_a_Stick · 2017-12-02 13:40:51

Any support would be dependent on the kernel so you should try that handy `rfkill` command under Debian stretch in the "live" environment (make sure you use the ISO image with the non-free firmware that your Intel card needs) and see if a Bluetooth device shows there.

If it does then maybe you could install Debian 9 and get stuff working there or install BunsenLabs and try the backported (newer) kernel version that is available.

EDIT: my answer is presuming that your laptop does in fact have a Bluetooth antenna but that the stock kernel doesn't have a driver for it.

Can you please confirm that your laptop does have a Bluetooth antenna?

Surely such a detail would be clearly indicated in the machine specifications?

Have you ever had Bluetooth working on this machine?

Could u please, tell me which ISO image shall I try with?

I looked on a website and it says that my laptop have bluetooth antena

WiFi / Bluetooth 4.0

Torrent here:

https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unof … so.torrent

Transfer it to your USB stick with:

sudo cp debian-live-9.2.0-amd64-xfce+nonfree.iso /dev/sdX

Replace X with the letter assigned to your USB stick (do not add a partition number), be very careful here because you can wipe your hard drive if you use the wrong letter.

Steve · 2017-12-02 14:32:54

You may need a bluetooth usb dongle if rfkill is not listing a bluetooth controller.

My rfkill list says this on my laptop, so i have inbuilt bluetooth capability, i dont use it and wireless Lan, only ethernet for me.

^ Ha!

/usr/sbin/rfkill list all

Stock Debian doesn't include {usr,}/sbin in a normal user's PATH.
