    Bluetooth adapter not found in Manjaro XFCE with Ralink corp. RT3290 Bluetooth controller

    in I/O Devices

    I am using Manjaro OS with XFCE dual boot along with Windows. When I use Windows, Bluetooth on my laptop connects and transfers data successfully. However, when I try to connect from Manjaro, it says "No adapter found"!
    I have also noticed that the "Adapter" and "Devices" tab are greyed in Bluetooth Manager.

    My laptop has Ralink corp. RT3290 Bluetooth built into it. On entering $bluetoothctl, I wrote the command

    [bluetooth]# power on

    It gave the output "No default controller available".

    Can anyone help me fix this?

      I found the solution in this post:

      https://invik.xyz/linux/RT3290-Bluetooth-on-Arch/

      All u have to do is run these commands:
      $sudo pacman -S bluez bluez-utils

      $sudo pacman -S dkms linux-headers

      $yaourt -S dkms rtbth-dkms-git

      $sudo sudo systemctl enable bluetooth.service

      Create config file using your favourite editor. I have used gedit.
      $sudo gedit /etc/modules-load.d/rtbth.conf

      Type the following within the file.
      rtbth

      Save and exit.

      Then reboot.

      This worked for me
