    [KDE] Bluetooth disabled

    I was running Ubuntu Studio for the past 3 weeks and was loving it, then all of a sudden my Bluetooth stops working. I went into settings > Bluetooth and try to click the enable button but nothing happens - so I redmformat, everything's working fine for a couple hours, then the Bluetooth stops working again. So I figured I'd try Kubuntu 21.10 (pretty sure its 21.10) and from fresh format, Bluetooth is automatically disabled- nothing seems to fix it... any help?

    PC specs? Desktop or Laptop. Bluetooth 'built in' or via a dongle?

      "disabled" in what way? Like won't turn on? Have you checked rfkill?

        I'm gonna guess its a Realtek wifi/bluetooth card, the bane of users everywhere when it doesn't work, and there are 19920014 different possible fixes or tweaks, depending on the exact day the thing was manufactured, as well as the phase of the moon, both then and today.

          Or in some circles, the Schrödinger wifi/bluetooth card. It both works and doesn't work, at the same time, and you only know which state it is in (working/not working) when you actually use it!
