Hi. The Bluetooth toggle doesn’t work. In Settings, when I click it, it returns to the off position. And if I do it from the top rigth menu, it appears as if it’s searching. It’s as if it doesn’t have the drivers. I have Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS installed on my ASUS VIVOBOOK.
Let’s start by checking if the device is being recognized.
Open a terminal and run these commands:
lsusb | grep -i bluetooth
lspci | grep -i bluetooth
You can copy the output and paste it here. Highlight the text and click on the </> icon on the ribbon to add code tags.
Also, check in BIOS/UEFI for any Bluetooth related settings.
Also please give the output of
dmesg | grep -i blue
Thanks
Hi. Tried both lines. With no results
Last night after several reboots, turning off and on, finally went to sleep, but this morning I’ve found the bluetooth working again, and this:
Well, that is interesting.
Step 1:
install inxi, a very useful system information tool, sudo apt install inxi
Step. 2:
after installation, run the following command inxi -r
Copy the output and post it back here wrapped with code tags.
Also please run the command suggested by @Actionparsnip and post the results, if any.
You may need to add sudo to the command.
Ok. when tried sudo dmesg | grep -i blue, got this result

(let me remind you that this morning the bluetooth was working)
When tried to instal inxi sudo apt install inxi, got this result
E: Entrada 1 mal especificada en sources fichero /etc/apt/sources.list.d/third-party.sources (URI parse)
E: No se pudieron leer las listas de fuentes.
Back to basics:
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/third-party.sources
Please post the output the way I did with code tags, highlight the text and click </> on the ribbon.
Thanks.

Perfect!
And now we have the culprit 
If you do not intend installing software packages from the USB or DVD, which most people do not do nowadays, we can safely remove this and then update.
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/third-party.sources
sudo apt update
As a test, try installing inxi again and there should be no issues now.
I dont. If there is something to install, I download it as most people do. So, I’ve executed the 2 lines, and installed inxi, after I’ve executed inxi -r, and got this:

All in all, this post started with a bluetooth problem, and I think we are way from there now.
Thanks for the help anyways.
Summary:
Bluetooth is working 
Apt is updated and installing
However, there are some minor issues with your sources lists, nothing that will prevent you updating or installing, but it might be a good idea to clean it up.
I would recommend the following:
you have extra sources for winehq, you can remove them like this:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq-focal.sources
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq-jammy.sources
This will keep only the noble version.
You should probably check the PPAs to make sure they are tested for noble.
Finally, make sure everything is synced and fully updated:
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
Done. Thanks for the help
