No bluetooth adapter found (Ubuntu 18.04 with ubuntu mate)

Hello,
I am dsperately trying to get bluetooth running.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled blueman and blueman-gnome, bluez:armhf, bluez-tools - nothing worked.

When I tried to manage bluetooth via terminal, I failed. Can anybody help, please??

Here are some results of the checks I performed

bluetoothctl show says No default controler available.

hcitool doesn’t find any devices

I know it’s no consolation but I have Ubuntu 18.04 with Mate also and I have the same problem that you do. I am trying to connect a Microsoft (so not a no-name brand) mouse and keyboard and they are simply not showing up in the Bluetooth manager. No matter what I do, they still aren’t there. Maybe it’s an incompatibility between BT 4.0 and 5.0?

Bluetooth 5 is that it’s completely backwards - compatible with Bluetooth 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 devices

So maybe not that

The manjaro images work if you install 5.3rc kernel sudo pacman -S linux-aarch64-rc linux-aarch64-rc-headers
With bluetooth that is
