Current arch linux
My first attempt to use a bluetooth device, a Logitech keyboard. I inserted its dongle in usb port and from instructions on
I did
pacman -S bluez bluez-utils modprobe btusb bluetoothctl Waiting to connect to bluetoothd... Ctrl-C hciconfig hci0 sspmode 0 Can't set Simple pairing mode on hci0: Network is down (100) Which network is it referring to? hci0? I can't create that till I get the MAC address, for which I need bluetoothctl
Additionally, I have also tried 'bluetoothctl -a' and adding my username to the lp line in /etc/groups, no difference

You have forgotten to start bluetooth.service.
sudo systemctl start bluetooth If you want it to always start, make sure that you enable it.
sudo systemctl enable bluetooth
