No bluetooth device

Just a notice first. For future reference please use quote or code tags for pasted code as it helps with readibility and it avoids the anti spam module to kick in.

I see a Hewlett-Packard Atheros AR9285 Malbec Bluetooth Adapter in the lsusb output. Did you attach another Bluetooth USB dongle ? Or is this the one ?
Oh it seems like it is taking a look at lspci it seems that it is one of this shared cards wifi + bt (though one attached via pci express the other via usb)

Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter

The ath3k is also loaded as the lsmod command indicates. And it used for bluetooth. So everything is setup right from the driver perspective.

Can you check with the following command if the bluetooth service is running

Code:

systemctl status bluetooth

If it the Active: is not set to active (running) or Status: "Running"  can you try to start this service with the command

Code:

systemctl start bluetooth

(It might ask for your password to do this)

After starting the bluetooth service try using your bluetooth via systemsettings again.
If this works and you want the bluetooth service to be enabled by default execute

Code:

systemctl enable bluetooth

I hope that solves the issue for you.

thank you for your patience, leszek!
