Hi there!

I have a strange problem:

This is a Thinkpad T470s (though I found at least the T460s to have the same wifi/bluetooth device, probably a lot more notebooks have it, Lenovo Y520, Dell Precision 5520m, etc..).
I am unable to get bluetooth working. The device shortly appears after either unblocking with rfkill or using the keyboard shortcut with the bluetooth sign.

This is kernel 4.15.1-gentoo.

The wifi device (don't know whether this is relevant):
Code:

3a:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 (rev 78)
   Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265
   Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 130
   Memory at dc100000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
   Capabilities: [c8] Power Management version 3
   Capabilities: [d0] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
   Capabilities: [40] Express Endpoint, MSI 00
   Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting
   Capabilities: [140] Device Serial Number 00-e1-8c-ff-ff-9f-97-82
   Capabilities: [14c] Latency Tolerance Reporting
   Capabilities: [154] L1 PM Substates
   Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
   Kernel modules: iwlwifi


The USB device that appears shortly:

rfkill before:
Code:
localhost ~ # rfkill list
0: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth
   Soft blocked: yes
   Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: no

rfkill after using unblock all at least twice:
Code:
localhost ~ # rfkill unblock all && sleep 2 && rfkill list
0: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: no
22: hci0: Bluetooth
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: no

(If just used once, hci0 and tpacpi_bluetooth_sw remain soft blocked)

That just looks about right, but after some time, I'm back at square one (tpacpi_bluetooth_sw softblocked, no hci0)

dmesg shows this:
Code:
[ 5101.168619] usb 1-7: new full-speed USB device number 28 using xhci_hcd

[ 5103.311499] Bluetooth: hci0: command 0xfc0d tx timeout

sometimes (different command)

[ 5083.536002] Bluetooth: hci0: command 0xfc05 tx timeout
[ 5083.536019] Bluetooth: hci0: Reading Intel version information failed (-110)

and rarely
Code:

That seems legit, sending firmware to a device that disappears is somewhat.. problematic to say the least!
These errors just seem to be variations of race conditions depending on when the device disappears.

Other people seem to be able to get it working:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lenovo_ThinkPad_T460s (no mention whatsoever, but marked as working)
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2354736&p=13618690#post13618690 (Missing firmware was the problem, that's not the case here, obviously)

I am pretty clueless. Could this be some power saving issue? Where should I try to change things?
The kernel says USB disconnect, this really looks low-level, so I don't think anything more than kernel or firmware should be relevant..
Which parts of the kernel config could be of interest?
Code:
localhost ~ # grep CONFIG_BT /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_BT=m
CONFIG_BT_BREDR=y
CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM=m
CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM_TTY=y
# CONFIG_BT_BNEP is not set
CONFIG_BT_HIDP=m
CONFIG_BT_HS=y
CONFIG_BT_LE=y
# CONFIG_BT_LEDS is not set
# CONFIG_BT_SELFTEST is not set

CONFIG_BT_INTEL=m
CONFIG_BT_HCIBTUSB=m

rfkill                 24576  5 bluetooth,thinkpad_acpi,cfg80211


I'll see whether it works in the preinstalled spyware with a GUI.

try with the kernel bt stack completely builtin instead of modular. I do have a system with this bt+wifi device, and it works quite flawlessly this way. You probably also need to add the 2 firmware files to the in-kernel firmware list as well (intel/ibt-12-16.sfi and intel/ibt-12-16.ddc ).

Thanks, but that did not help either.

It works with sysresccd on kernel 4.9.60.
I went through all the hoops to get to the same kernel version (as it is not in portage anymore) and still it wouldn't work.
So I went back to searching in user space.

And guess what, it is no kernel problem. I have an enlightenment desktop with (e)connman which works perfectly (for wired/wifi). However, it also takes control of bluetooth, and it's disabled by default. So whenever connman sees a new bluetooth device it disables it at once. No mention whatsoever in the logs, this is kinda mean.

So, to solve this, either enable bluetooth in econnman (the GUI), do it on the CLI:

Code:
localhost ~ # connmanctl
connmanctl> enable bluetooth
Enabled bluetooth

or disable connman's bluetooth handling altogether:
Code:
localhost ~ # grep OPTS /etc/conf.d/connman
CONNMAN_OPTS="-P bluetooth"

and restart connman
Code:
localhost ~ # /etc/init.d/connman restart


Strangely though, it works with connman in the disabled/default config and the thinkpad_acpi module not loaded (or not loaded before the firmware download has finished! But then only once, till the first disabling event; enabling again does not work anymore). It seems connman somehow needs the ACPI control, though an rfkill interface is available before as well..

Now the hotkey also works as intended.

Thanks everyone for watching/helping!

5 years later (!) I just ran into the same problem. After finding dozens of forum posts suggesting rmmod/modprobe, power cycling, etc I finally found the one that has the right answer! Connman was to blame.
