but no matter what i install from the repo, the bluetooth will not run. it runs on manjaro and on windows so it should work here also. not bluez not blueman notgnome-bluetooth nothing nada zilch zero
and so some open rc commands.... nothing there either
root #rc-service bluetooth start
rc-service bluetooth start
* rc-service: service `bluetooth' does not exist
root #rc-update add bluetooth default
rc-update add bluetooth default
* rc-update: service `bluetooth' does not exist
seems like there ought to be an easier way than fussing over these details for a fresh install to get bluetooth working
rfkill list bluetooth
