Bluetooth connectivity issues

raunakseksaria · 15 April 2024 04:32

Context

I currently have 4 operating systems on my device, and 3 of them are linux. 2 of them are manjaro gnome and manjaro kde, the other being Ubuntu 22.04. All 3 linux operating systems have an issue while connecting to my bluetooth earphones. I have faced this on this and my previous laptop with dual booted Ubuntu as well.

The issue

The thing is, bluetooth connects and disconnects simultaneously, almost immediately whenever I try to connect to a recognised device. For manjaro gnome, the connect slider just gets stuck at its original position, or starts flashing to remain at the original position. I do not use kde much, but it has had the same issue.

The only resolve I know of

By removing device (or forget connection which basically means to remove my earphones from recognised devices), and then repairing with it again, it remains connected. Ubuntu has gone a further step and this fix does not work on it nowadays.

It would seem to me that you simply have a particulary rubbish blutooth implementation. If the problem exists in every OS, it’s more likely to be a hardware or environmental issue.

Without specific information such as an actual error message and related logs, for example, there is not much else to be offered.

Please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements; in particular, the many ways to use the forum more effectively. To that end, these links will likely help:

… and the fourth one is Windows?

This is only a guess - I do not have Windows, but Windows may not be fully shut down (fast startup) and this may contribute to the issue.

Another, more “aggressive” way to start over would be:
stopping the bluetooth service
and then removing the contents of /var/lib/bluetooth
then starting the bluetooth service again and re-pairing your devices

Sometimes, aggression is the only thing some of these low-budget devices will understand…

@soundofthunder
Hey, thanks for the tutorial links. I went through most of them. The error with bluetooth devices is a bit erratic, I will post the log messages whenever next I get the error.
Also, unlikely that the bluetooth implementation on the system is just trash. Its a new dell inspiron device, havent seen a problem with dell’s bluetooth usually, decent processor(i5 1340p), bought within the past 4 months.

@Nachlese
Could u elaborate on what you mean by stopping the bluetooth service?
In case this is what you meant, I have tried

sudo systemctl restart bluetooth

but to no avail.

ps : from what i understand, I dont think it would be of much help because it happens with newly downloaded operating systems as well

Archwiki cites an xkcd comic for Bluetooth headsets

Bluetooth headset - ArchWiki
Although Bluetooth is infamous for being unreliable[1], many implementations have seen massive improvements, making it a somewhat less excruciating experience on well-established hardware like Intel Bluetooth chips.

You could easily pay a premium price, and still have low-end components in the mix; it’s just how the industry works; maximise profit any way possible. Cheers.

if you want to stop it, then the command should reflect that intention

systemctl stop bluetooth.service

to start it again, you may use either start or restart

What you did was stopping and instantly starting it again …

I suggested stopping the service before removing the connection details in /var/lib/bluetooth
just to be sure that removal would not be interfered with somehow by the service still running.

edit:

systemctl command does not need to be run with sudo!
You will be asked for the admin password - run it without sudo.
I just edited my post.

I did this and now it doesnt let me pair my device at all.

edit : @Nachlese I did start it again, as reflected by the log file as well, where it started.
The output of the command you asked me to run is

edit 2:
@Nachlese
I did remove that mac address one only. The third one that is

total 12
drwx------  3 root root 4096 Apr 15 18:33 .
drwxr-xr-x 46 root root 4096 Apr 14 00:33 ..
drwx------  3 root root 4096 Apr 15 18:50 74:13:EA:4F:E2:86

However, I used Nautilus and not CLI (should not be an issue I think?) [I do have hidden files visibility on]

Yet to check the fast boot thing on Windows, will try and tell if that works

edit 3: Reboot made it connect.

Reboot for the win, now and always.

first:
I edited my post - sudo is not needed.

second:
did you start the service again - after you had stopped it?

systemctl status bluetooth.service

Of course it will not be running/active when you just explicitly told it to stop.
That was exactly intention.

ls -al /var/lib/bluetooth
total 16
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 4096 Apr  8  2023 .
drwxr-xr-x 87 root root 4096 Apr 12 07:43 ..
drwx------  6 root root 4096 Apr  1  2023 68:5D:43:58:FC:40
drwx------  6 root root 4096 Apr  3 11:16 84:A6:C8:E1:0E:00

From my actual machine right now.
two addresses - one is an old one from an adapter that got changed at some point …

those MAC addresses (the directories name is the MAC address) is what you should remove, recursively, after stopping the service, then start the service again

That is what I remember having done in the past.
Perhaps you want to reboot.

How about that Windows? fast startup or whatever the feature is called …

and anecdotal:

without discernable reason, it sometimes happens that one of my BT devices suddenly refuses to connect.
(3 pairs of different headphones which get connected to this computer and to my phone as well)

The only remedy was to factory reset them and pair them again.

Hi @raunakseksaria ,
I wonder whether you could post the output of the following terminal command:
ìnxi -v8azy

Regards,

ChrisCanyon · 15 April 2024 22:34

You probably have an issue with dual-boot pairing.
I did not try what they say, but it’s worth trying

Specifically: status: discoverable: no pairing: no class-ID: 6c010c

This suggests to me that, either; you haven’t actually paired any devices yet; or the link from @ChrisCanyon (above) might be a good place to start to resolve the issue.

Hi @raunakseksaria,
In order to solve your problem I ask you again to put the outputs of the following terminal commands:
Maybe, you can post the following terminal commands:
systemctl --user status wireplumber pipewire pipewire-pulse
sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
sudo journalctl -b | grep bluetoothd
sudo pacman -Q | grep pipe

Regards

The idea was that bluetooth was stopped, contents of /var/lib/bluetooth were manually deleted, and then bluetooth was started, which obviously unpairs all previously paired devices, and the log file of that was attached.

It is very highly possible, as this issue is pretty common in my college, where almost everyone in my batch has their machines dual booted. I will definitely look into it, thanks
