What I’ve Tried:
I tried to download manually firmware from intel repository

wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/intel/ibt-0190-0291-pci.sfi
wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/intel/ibt-0190-0291-pci.ddc

and run update-initramfs -u
after reboot, dmesg output changed to these

[    2.579735] Bluetooth: hci0: Found device firmware: intel/ibt-0190-0291-pci.sfi

You might also need this file in /lib/firmware/intel
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/intel/ibt-0190-0291-usb.sfi

I can confirm that downloading this file, then sudo systemctl restart bluetooth worked for me.

4

Nope.
The errors are the same.
Which chipset do you have?

bluetooth worked with 24.04 and 24.10 but now there is not even a lspci entry.
I added the git (sfi-file) recommended above, sysctl restart … , not working.

I confirm that with 24.10 I didn’t have problem with bluetooth.

I do have a lspci entry for bluetooth.

I think the problem is in linux-firmware package or in the kernel.
This is the content of /lib/firmware/intel (before download manually files from git repo.

Today, I just went for coffee with the laptop, bluetooth is on and works. Connected the mouse.
I don’t even know when it happens. The ubuntu angels work even when you don’t restart …

8

uhm… interesting.
could you share your laptop specs?

thanks

yes, it is grey, 1200g weight, 2x USB-C on the left …
What specs do you need?

it seems the same to mine laptop. but in lspci output I don’t see Bluetooth.
what is the output of lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 bluetooth.

thanks!
