LibreElec 8.9 on Asrock Beebox N3050 - No Bluetooth

Myown · August 15, 2018 at 8:25 AM

Hi All

I'm new here...just installed the LibreElec 8.9 Alpha on my Asrock Beebox (N3050). Most things are working fine. Except my bluetooth device.

Kodi don't find any bluetooth adapter. This is strange because i think this is a standard device and WiFi works fine...

It would be great if someone can help me. May be not all drivers are added yet in the alpha...

Thanks and regards

Open a SSH session to your Beebox, and give us the URL of the following command:

Code

dmesg | paste

Then we can see if Linux itself cannot find the BT adapter, or that it's perhaps a driver problem.

It looks like the kernel finds the BT device and loads firmware. If this is a clean install did you enable the BT service?

Yes, bluetooth service is enabled.

But in the bluetooth option it says: no bt device found.

what does "bluetoothctl" show?

This shows:

Agent registered

I just made a new installation...but same same. I enabled bluetooth service but still no bt device found

Does anyone have a idea or solution for this issue?

Thanks a lot for your help

The dmesg log shows the iwlwifi driver loading and the 3160 device being registered. Bluetooth things appear to be started .. but there are no abnormal errors showing.

Nothing in "bluetoothctl show" ?
