Hi everybody,
for a long time I had a working bluetooth connection from my pc to my stereo. Recently the connection refused to work. Since I don't use audio regularly I can't tell exactly when it stopped.
What is happening:
- right click on kde bluetooth manager -> add device
- device is discovered
- device asks for pin
- after correct pin is entered I get "connect" shortly followed by a "disconnect"

The only hint I get is the following entry in my /var/log/messages:
Code:
Mar 18 14:03:13 Sonnenblume bluetoothd[2770]: Discovery session 0x7f6f3cc72fa0 with :1.30 activated
Mar 18 14:03:18 Sonnenblume bluetoothd[2770]: Stopping discovery
Mar 18 14:03:40 Sonnenblume bluetoothd[2770]: Unable to select SEP
Mar 18 14:03:40 Sonnenblume bluetoothd[2770]: Connection refused (111)
Mar 18 14:08:11 Sonnenblume bluetoothd[2770]: Unable to select SEP
Mar 18 14:08:12 Sonnenblume bluetoothd[2770]: Connection refused (111)

What does that mean ?
The pin is confirmed by using another device (tablet pc).
The usb bluetooth dongle itself is working fine.(as far as I can tell)

Here's my

emerge --info

I think it was around the Bluez 4.96 time frame, they changed (either accidentally or on purpose) which bluetooth services were started by default. Reason I know is because my BT headphones went dud after an upgrade.

Poking around in the furball that is the Bluez code showed that you could enable them (all) in the [General] section of /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf by adding the following:
Code:
Enable=Source,Sink,Headset,Gateway,Control,Socket,Media

and commenting out the Disable line.

Not sure if that's your problem, but you might try some of those.

Hi,

I had to enable the socket, and compile the uinput kernel module... then it worked again.

Hey you guys are great. It's almost working again :D

Adding the enable line did the trick.
Only minor problem left is that now I always have to start bluetoothd manually after KDE has started otherwise it is not working...

Hmm... here it starts automatically. I guess after adding your devices, /var/lib/bluetooth/*/config should look more or less like this:
Code:
class 0x5a0104
mode connectable
name gentoo-0
onmode connectable
pairable no
and /var/lib/bluetooth/*/trusts
Code:
00:23:D5:3E:33:9A [all]

Can be edited manually. Hope it helps!
