[SOLVED] so i have a bluetooth dongle on the usb port

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
