        So i would like to post a log file, i really don't know where to get it. It seems my Bluetooth is broken. After flashing 5 times a new Retropie img on different sd cards and using different power sources. I hope someone can still help me.. So frustrating because yesterday there was no problem.

          @trekdrop Run sudo dmesg > /home/pi/dmesg.log and then post the contents of the dmesg.log file to pastebin.com to take a look.
          Did you do any configurations before this happened ? Did you disable the BT via a config.txt line or disabled the WiFi inadvertently ?

            @mitu said in Bluetooth inactive.:

            sudo dmesg > /home/pi/dmesg.log

            I will flash a new img now and send the dmseg.log file. No i never touch the wifi or Bluetooth settings.

            https://pastebin.com/93bjnADz This one is ad first boot.

            https://pastebin.com/xarec375 This one is second boot.

              @trekdrop There's no indication in the dmesg output that you have a Bluetooth enabled device and I see you're using a wired connection (but the WiFi gets detected). I don't think that a new image would help - can you try running sudo modprobe bluetooth from the command line and then run sudo dmesg | tail to see if any error messages show up ?

                  @trekdrop There doesn't seem any error messages after inserting the BT module - does scanning work after running sudo modprobe bluetooth ?

                    @mitu said in Bluetooth inactive.:

                    sudo modprobe bluetooth

                    Still the same.

                    And if do this:

                    pi@retropie:~ $ systemctl status bluetooth
                    ā— bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
                    Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; vendor preset
                    Active: inactive (dead)
                    Docs: man:bluetoothd(8)

                    Still dead.

                    I some where found i need to cold or warm reboot the pi.. I don't know how to do it.
                    Just trying everything here :D

                      @trekdrop Warm reboot - normal reboot, cold reboot - shutdown then remove the power.
