Unable to switch on bluetooth

Open K-EK-G opened this issue 10 months ago • 19 comments

I'm running linux mint 22.1 on a new HP computer and when i try to switch on bluetooth, its applet disappears from the toolbar and it fails to activate. This issue is not present when i use windows.

แต่เครื่องฉันสามารถเชื่อมต่อได้นะระหว่าง Iphone XS กับ mint22.1 ต้องตั้งค่า view แล้วเลือกเปิดทั้งหมด

Post a blueman-applet log as described here https://github.com/blueman-project/blueman/wiki/Troubleshooting#debugging-blueman

  • kill and run blueman-applet from a terminal
  • Switch Bluetooth on
  • Post the terminal output here.

However this sounds lime it's a lower level issue that blueman doesn't handle itself. The log should shed some light on this.

That is not the whole log but this does suggest you are having issues with either the bluetooth service dying or the adapter dying. Neither is something we can fix in blueman. It's probably a good idea to ask on your distributions support forums.

It's the new kernel, revert back to older one and it'll work fine

With exactly the same symptoms (doesn't list any devices, the on button doesn't seem to do anything) on Arch Linux 6.13.2 I get the following terminal info when I launch blueman-applet:

blueman-applet 19.45.28 WARNING  PluginManager:93 load_plugin: Failed to start plugin GameControllerWakelock: Only X11 platform is supported
blueman-applet 19.45.28 WARNING  PluginManager:153 __load_plugin: Not loading PPPSupport because its conflict has higher priority

blueman-applet 19.45.28 WARNING  DiscvManager:122 update_menuitems: warning: Adapter is None

no additional info is printed when I try to turn bluetooth on from the applet.

@akulamartin you did not kill blueman-applet first. Try again after killall blueman-applet.

@japhir post the complete log.

blueman manager start but the switch on the top right does not work. I can turn on bluetooth by entering "bluetoothctl power on" and then I can connect using blueman-manager, but still, the switch is off. If I turn it on, it goes on once I have used bluetoothctl to power on bluetooth, but it seems blueman-manager is unable to turn on bluetooth power itself.

I am using RHEL9.3 with the xfce4 window manager.

I will say that after turning on power using bluetoothctl power on, bluetooth-manager works nicely.

@infirit my issues have disappeared after reboot. Maybe the updating dhcp fixed this?

The error happens at power manager for some reason.

@akulamartin How are you enabling bluetooth? It almost looks like you are double clicking on the toggle in blueman-manager.

There is something odd in the log. The BlueZ dbus service disappears in the beginning as if it just died. Later it shows up again presumably because systemd restarted it.

Same thing on 6.8.0-54 kernel

Yes very strange.When plugin my Bluetooth dongle it's off.The Bluetooth icon is grey.When I turn it on through Blueman it's white for sometime then it the Bluetooth icon disappears.When I turn off Blueman the grey icon comes back.I'll attach a gif showing this.

OK ran into the issue again today.

When I launch blueman-applet it has bluetooth disabled by default. When I click enable it doesn't do anything and no devices are listed. When I run bluetoothctl connect default I get a No default controller available message, which might be at the root of the issue? This is after upgrading the networkmanager package as well as some others, so a reboot will probably fix it.

@japhir the problem appeared to me a few days ago. I managed to fix it by first using sudo rmmod btusb, then sudo modprobe btusb then the Bluetooth would be back like normal. However, every time I open blueman and turn off the Bluetooth, it will again remove my Bluetooth driver btusb. Do you have any new information on that?

machinoro avatar Jun 02 '25 13:06 machinoro

@K-EK-G I solved this issue by installing bluez-tools and bluez-hcidump packages. After that, everything worked normal.
