Bluetooth device: Bus 003 Device 005: ID 04ca:3006 Lite-On Technology Corp.
Comes as part of the wifi module: 03:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
The issue: Bluetooth does not appear in gnome-settings.
Installation goes fine, and the issue persists after the reboot into the new installation.
Checking inside /lib/firmware shows:
otheos@pop-os:/lib/firmware$ ls ar*
ar5523.bin
There is no ar3k folder. However checking inside the linux-firmware package here and at the project's github page, the folder (and all the files in it) is present.
In any event, downloading linux-firmware tar.gz package from the project's github, extracting, copying ar3k to /lib/firmware and rebooting, makes the bluetooth work again, and the output now is:
This same issue is reported separately by other users here.
I can provide full logs if required. Sadly I can't attach the .xz file produce from gnome-settings support page here (maybe consider changing compression to gzip).
Now for the weird part: While this issue appears to happen every time (I performed a number of clean installs to check), in one occasion, the computer booted the ISO from USB and (without the ar3k folder being present, of course), the BT worked. I installed, and it still worked without having to copy the ar3k folder from the firmware package. I am still testing to see any patterns that cause this exception to the norm (of failing). So far this only happened once. It is not related to booting Windows, or resetting the bios. I keep testing.
This is on a Packard Bell iMedia S2885 (an Acer really) desktop (i7 4th gen).
