Unblocking bluetooth

Having trouble with bluetooth, and I think it might be rfkill - if it shows up in lsmod ?

$ lsmod | grep bluetooth
rfkill 36864 4 bluetooth,cfg80211

So using bluetoothctl:

$ sudo bluetoothctl
[bluetooth]# scan on
No default controller available

But any operations using rfkill fail:

$ sudo rfkill list
rfkill: /dev/rfkill: Operation not permitted

Is this because it’s containerised? How do I override this if so?

Bump (sorry, just really frustrating me this one!)

Im having the same issue, I have had a bluetooth addon working great until now, saw this and have the same question

Same question,

Anyone get anywhere with this? Experiencing similar since 2022.08 update (which promised “first class bluetooth support”).
flicd add-on failed with update (which requires exclusive control of the bt adaptor). In the terminal I can see:

Is this expected? No default controller? Assuming not, so any advice on re-gaining a default controller?
Thanks

I have the same problem :confused: I’ve tried everything. My bluetooth doesn’t work :frowning_face:

Exact same thing here… Did anyone came across a solution.
I am running the OS, so it may not be related to it being containerised

Same issue on HA Yellow trying to use rfkill
