Hi,
I have a generic unbranded BT dongle which isn't working.
lsusb|grep -i Blue

I've removed blueman so only "bluetooth" service is running:
systemctl list-unit-files|grep blue
bluetooth.service enabled enabled
dbus-org.bluez.service alias -
bluetooth.target static -
bluetoothctl:
bluetoothctl
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# show
No default controller available
so no controller is detected.
I've installed linux-firware & I'm a member of group "bluetooth".
Any suggestions?.
Thanks
