|
|
Hello.
I have updated world today, and seen that bluez has been upgraded to 5.12. This has broken blueman (expected), but I don't know how to connect to my headset with another way. I have tried bluetoothctl, my adapter and the headset are recognized, paired and trusted ok. I have a bluetooth mouse too that works perfectly.
I have noticed this in /var/log/messages:
Jan 30 18:37:15 smug bluetoothd[1390]: a2dp-sink profile connect failed for 00:18:91:D0:7A:24: Protocol not available
even though my headset is A2DP-able.
How can I fix this? I have tried the commands given on the AUR bluetooth page (mainly how to use bluetoothctl), I have tried installing gnome-bluetooth and pulling gnome-bluetooth-applet-git from AUR, I have the applet icon but I still can't connect to my headset.
Thanks for any help. |

Hi,
It looks a little bit like an error I had in the past. See here: Can't open input device
Is the uinput kernel module loaded? |

Hello,
Thanks for your answer. I have uinput compiled in the kernel. With bluetoothctl I have

[bluetooth]# connect 00:18:91:D0:7A:24
Attempting to connect to 00:18:91:D0:7A:24

and at the moment I try to connect to the device, in /var/log/messages I get

I have reemerged pulseaudio in case it helped, but it didn't: when restarting pulseaudio I got

Is it true? Can anyone confirm? I can't find any information. |

I thought the blueman project was dead, 1.23 is very old... but it looks like 2.0 is coming...

I recently did a big update. I remember blocking Pulseaudio-4 because I ran into the total Bluetooth mess. I was running Pulse-2.x for a while just to keep everything working.
I just did the big gnome/pulse/bluez update. I unmerged blueman and tried bluedevil (QT/KDE); really they're just frontends and bluetoothctl works pretty well by itself.
I get these errors constantly when trying to reconnect my headset:
Code: | Mar 28 10:45:55 [bluetoothd] a2dp-sink profile connect failed for 34:DF:2A:09:A5:D0: Protocol not available
Mar 28 10:46:01 [pulseaudio] [pulseaudio] bluez5-util.c: Properties changed in a device which information is unknown or invalid
- Last output repeated twice -
Mar 28 10:48:47 [pulseaudio] [pulseaudio] bluez5-util.c: Properties changed in unknown device
Mar 28 10:48:47 [pulseaudio] [pulseaudio] bluez5-util.c: Properties changed in a device which information is unknown or invalid
|
I'm running pulseaudio-5.0, bluez-5.15. Anyone get this whole chain working? |

Have the same problem. Everything "just works" after a reboot but things stop working after a suspend/resume cycle, with exactly the same kind of errors as reported here.
Using bluez-5.18, pulseaudio-5.0-r1, gentoo-sources-3.12.13. _________________ emerge --quiet redefined | E17 vids: I, II | Now using kde5 | e is unstable :-/ |

Same problem here with:
- net-wireless/bluez-5.21-r1
- media-sound/pulseaudio-5.0-r2
- 3.14.14-gentoo
That thing sucks! The bluetooth subsystem is required for some equipment for disabled people and it is broken for a long time. It seems nobody really care about it. Any bug reports?
And I must add the gnome gui to manage that thing is just a big joke. Anyone really tests this stuff before releasing it in the field?
I reported the problem as bug 520710 _________________ Achille Talon Hop! |

It seems the problem disappeared after I did a pulseaudio restart as suggested in the bug report. However, the only remaining problem is the connection doesn't establish itself automatically when I power on the bluetooth audio device, I still have to manually connect (not pairing, just connect) the device. _________________ Achille Talon Hop! |
