Original report
What happened
After updating to linux-omarchy 7.2.5-3 (linux-firmware 20260810-2), the
internal Bluetooth USB controller (Apple vendor:product 05ac:8290,
"Bluetooth USB Host Controller") fails to initialize on boot:
kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: command 0x0c03 tx timeout
kernel: Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: Reset failed (-110)
bluetoothctl show reports "No default controller available", and the
Bluetooth icon disappears from the Omarchy bar tray. Reloading the btusb
module (modprobe -r btusb && modprobe btusb) reproduces the same
failure. A full USB re-enumeration of the port (toggling
/sys/bus/usb/devices/<port>/authorized 0→1) does clear it for that boot,
but it recurs after reboot.
When the controller does come up in this degraded state, Bluetooth audio
(tested with a SteelSeries Arctis 3 headset, A2DP) is choppy/stuttering
until the USB re-enumeration workaround is applied.
Expected
Bluetooth controller initializes cleanly on boot like before the update.
System
- Hardware: MacBookPro11,4 (Apple Inc.)
- CPU: Intel Core i7-4770HQ
- GPU: Intel Crystal Well (integrated)
- Omarchy: 4.0.4-1
- Kernel: linux-omarchy 7.2.5-3 (previously working on earlier kernel)
- linux-firmware: 20260810-2
- bluez: 5.87-2
Steps to reproduce
- Boot the system.
- Run
bluetoothctl show— no controller listed. - Check
journalctl -b | grep -i hci0— see the reset timeout above.
Workaround currently in use
A post-boot hook that checks for the controller and, if missing, forces a
full USB re-enumeration of the Bluetooth port via pkexec before restarting
bluetooth.service.
