Usually you can find info about what packages were upgraded in /var/log/apt/history* and /var/log/aptitude*. The aptitude logs are a little easier to tell what happened, but the aptitude logs are specific to aptitude, whereas the apt logs give info about any action where a front-end like aptitude or apt uses the apt backend. ...Marvin
Re: Bluetooth and Webcam stopped working after upgrading to Bullseye
Since I don't have the old kernel anymore, I think my last chance, beyond using an external bt dongle, is to downgrade iwlwifi. I'll try it as soon as possible. Thank you all for the help.

Alexsander, Let's go back to the initially provided information ... > * Alexsander [231001 07:03]: > > Hi! > > > > It seems that Bluetooth adapter and Webcam from my Samsung Series 5 > > ultrabook stopped working after upgrading from Bullseye to Bookworm. > > It's an old NP530U3B-AD1BR. > > Bluetooth is a Centrino Advanced-N 6230 and Webcam is a > > WebCam SC-13HDL11431N. > > > > It'd be great if someone could point where I can start searching on > > how to > > solve this. This is just a guess. Since this is a pretty old chip. It is still listed here: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi#supported_devices but maybe they've thrown out support for this chip in the newer kernel/iwlwifi version. At least, i can not find it listed in my debian 'trixie' package: # apt-cache show firmware-iwlwifi Package: firmware-iwlwifi Source: firmware-nonfree Version: 20230210-5 ( long list ...) * There should be a 'dmesg' notification from the bluetooth subsystem, if the chip was detected but not supported. Grep for 'bluetooth' or 'iwlwifi'. * You could try to boot into the old kernel which was active before the upgrade (if that's still installed) and see it it makes a difference. * You could also try downgrading iwlwifi and firmware-linux and if that works, put these packages on 'hold'.
Re: Bluetooth and Webcam stopped working after upgrading to Bullseye
Samsung, picking the "best" hardware that's nowhere supported is why they are SCAMSUNG. Is there a Bluetooth adapter in there like a WiFi card? Yank it out, replace, et voila! :) Oct 1, 2023 1:03:19 PM Alexsander : > Hi! > > It seems that Bluetooth adapter and Webcam from my Samsung Series 5 > ultrabook stopped working after upgrading from Bullseye to Bookworm. > It's an old NP530U3B-AD1BR.

Hi Marvin! I checked and /lib/firmware does contain many iwlwifi-*.ucode files. Also, /lib is a symlink to /usr/lib, but my /usr and / are on the same partition. lsmod does show iwlwifi. "modprobe -r iwlwifi" gives me "modprobe: FATAL: Module iwlwifi is in use." Alexsander On 02/10/2023 12:57, Marvin Renich wrote: * Alexsander Farias de Oliveira [231002 08:27]: Hi!

Re: Bluetooth and Webcam stopped working after upgrading to Bullseye
Hi, Marvin! I did it just after sending the first message. By reaching this recipe https://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi I remembered that detail about apt repository. Unfortunately, after installing firmware-iwlwifi, lshw no longer even lists the bluetooth device any more.

Have you enabled non-free-firmware in /etc/apt/sources.list? If you read the release notes, they should give you good enough instructions. If you have not, and the release notes aren't sufficient, ask again here. If you have already done that, then I'm not sure I can help. ...Marvin
