My Mini came with Windows 11. I booted from a USB and tried Ubuntu. Wifi did not work, but bluetooth did. I then went to Windows 11 and connected my bluetooth device. It worked well also.
Then I installed Ubuntu alongside Windows 11. The wifi worked, but that is when the bluetooth problem started. I was not able to turn on bluetooth. It would not let me toggle the switch. I went back to the USB boot for Ubuntu, and this time I full installed Ubuntu 22.04. To my dismay, I can toggle the switch, but it will not turn on, even if it lets me toggle it. It does not change color and nothing happens related to bluetooth.
This is the error I get when I try:
Mini-S: ~$ sudo hciconfighci0: Type: Primary Bus: USB BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0 DOWN RX bytes:210 acl:0 sco:0 events:5 errors:0 TX bytes:20 acl:0 sco:0 commands:5 errors:0I tried the following and got this:
MINI-S:~$ hciconfig hci0 upCan't init device hci0: Operation not permitted (1)My bluetooth is still not working.
Here is more information:
