Update bluetooth.md: Fresh installed 22.04 needed rmmod/modprobe btusb #1217
Conversation
Looks like a bug of the installation. I'm using a VivoBook X421UA_M433UA, the fix was described with a Lenovo notebook. Found the fix here: https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/mtjysf/bluetooth_wont_turn_on/

This anecdote shouldn't get a whole section at the beginning of the Troubleshooting section. The rmmod and modprobe commands might be useful to some, but the rest of this isn't acceptable.
The best way to add this information to this document is to add them under the "useful commands" section with a short description of what they do and why a user might want to try them.

This doesn't need to be a whole subsection right at the beginning of the Troubleshooting section.

| sudo modprobe btusb | ||

Documentation should not contain anecdotes.

Don't use first person perspective. Just describe the behavior.

We prefer to avoid links to outside websites, especially when they're semi-ephemeral like Reddit threads. If that thread gets deleted, we have a dead link in the docs.
