Armbian 23 XFCE working ok on rock 5B - just no Bluetooth

#1

Hi,
I’ve used this distro :
Armbian_23.02.2_Rock-5b_jammy_legacy_5_10_110_xfce_desktop
on an SDcard and it boots fine…only few hours ago still.
quite happy with the snappy behaviour.

Only lil bugs is: Foreign language selection doesnt work at install time - rather use Us locale for a trouble free isntall.
…and Bluetooth is not detecting devices around.

Could plug 2 hdmi 24 dif Brands monitors set on 2 Vertical frequencies - Cool.

Any clue to Have the Raxda Wifi/BT card to work would be cool.
enjoying the silence

A8 Module Bluetooth:
sudo su
nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
then add these lines somewhere (at the bottom of the file is fine):

blacklist pgdrv
blacklist btusb
blacklist btrtl
blacklist btbcm
blacklist btintel

Then press Ctrl+X, then Y.
sudo apt install bluez or bluetooth – not needed to install since latest armbian version
systemctl status bluetooth CTRL+ C
systemctl start bluetooth
Then reboot .

Hope it works
