To start looking for a solution, what are the results of the commands :

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep  -i bluetooth

and

Code: Select all

rfkill

EDIT : fix the second command

For rkill, it's my error, the command is rfkill

According to dmesg, the firmware rtl_bt/rt18761bu_fw.bin is missing

This is the same problem as https://askubuntu.com/questions/1423752 ... link-ub500

In the web page, the files to install are here : (see EDIT below)
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Realt ... 61b_config
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Realt ... tl8761b_fw

You need to rename then (rtl8761b -> rtl8716bu) and copy them in a new folder in /lib/firmware (for example RTL8716BU)
Reboot and with luck the bluetooth works.

EDIT :
Other files extracted from https://archive.org/download/mpow_mpbh4 ... BLinux.tgz (see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8761usb)
Delete the fake .gz extension
