  • Bluetooth Not Working on MacBookPro14,1 (2017 MacBook Pro)

    From Osama Albahrani@3:633/10 to All on Sunday, March 15, 2026 07:20:01
    Hi,

    I just installed GNOME Debian 13 on a 2017 MacBookPro (MacBookPro14,1)
    and I cannot turn on bluetooth. `bluetoothctl devices` tells me "No
    default controller available".

    Any ideas?

    Best,
    Osama
