Bluetooth on Lenovo IdeaPad 3 is disabled on boot by default.

[stchman]

I recently purchased a new Lenovo IdeaPad 3 with Ryzen 7 5700U, Radeon graphics, NVME, etc.

All works well running Linux Mint 20.2 using the 5.11.0-37 kernel (had to use it as some devices didn't work properly like screen brightness control).

When I pair my Bluetooth mouse (it paired no problem), I have to turn on the Bluetooth using the icon in the system tray. I have checked the following.

/etc/bluetooth/main.conf and AutoEnable = true

I them tried:

sudo systemctl is-enabled bluetooth

this command returns enabled


I was able to effect that Bluetooth will be enabled when I log i. I created a startup with the following:

rfkill unblock bluetooth

This results in bluetooth being enabled after I log in, can I use the same command in GRUB?


My question is, are there any grub or BIOS settings that can help?

Thanks.

Moved to Mint

I did a little more research and was able to create a service using systemd. This allowed the rfkill command to be executed during the boot process and paired the mouse sooner.

I will mark the thread solved.
