Thank you for the welcome and the info! I hope that my additions provide enough information for some assistance. I love Manjaro and I think this is the only snag.

Yochanan · 25 September 2020 18:43

For some reason your Bluetooth adapter isn’t being detected. I imagine it’s part of the Intel chipset.

What’s the output of lsusb?

Yochanan · 26 September 2020 15:20

It exists!

What about:

sudo dmesg | grep -i bluetooth

I see you’re using the 5.4 LTS kernel. Have you tried 5.8?

clarkkozak · 28 September 2020 18:37

~ $ sudo dmesg | grep -i bluetooth
[    3.752402] thinkpad_acpi: rfkill switch tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: radio is unblocked

I have not tried 5.8 kernel! I’ll give it a go.

clarkkozak · 28 September 2020 19:25

Just tried 5.8. Same error behavior.

The_Quantum_Alpha · 4 October 2020 05:13

Howdy!

Try the following command! sudo pacman -S bluez bluez-libs gnome-bluetooth --noconfirm && sudo systemctl enable bluetooth

Have a wonderful day!

clarkkozak · 9 October 2020 23:13

Hey! I gave it a shot and I get the same error defined above

krill · 12 October 2020 17:18

Hi, does:

bluetoothctl
list

indicate that no adapters are found?

(My motherboard has the Intel AX200 chipset and its bluetooth module made me temporarily doubt reality until I found [Solved] No bluetooth from AX200 / Kernel & Hardware / Arch Linux Forums and acquired a usb bluetooth adapter)

kagetora13 · 13 October 2020 16:48

Hi Clark,

I was looking through your issue on the Thinkpad T450 using bluetooth to connect to devices. I also have a T450 and though I can connect to my bluetooth headphones. My Manjaro Gnome install is about 1.5 weeks old with all patches.

I won’t say things are perfect because I am diagnosing the following issues before I file my own post:

Switch devices seems to be flaky (e.g. the Edifier Headphones I have will sometimes connect in a headset mode and not stereo hifi).
Youtube videos will suddenly freeze in full screen mode in Firefox. Come out of Full screen and video will continue to play.

That being said I noticed your T450 bios has not been updated from the original 2015. I recommend you update this first:

https://support.lenovo.com/ca/en/downloads/ds102109

I will keep you in the loop as I figure my way through the issues. Note that I remember having some similar issues with bluetooth with my T430s and x230 on some Manjaro builds. So I totally get the fustrations you must be feeling when you have a laptop from 2015.

clarkkozak · 16 October 2020 13:27

Hey Kagetora!

Thanks so much for the heads up about the BIOS! It’ll be my first time updating something like that. I don’t know if it’s unfortunate, yet I’m only running Manjaro so it’s unlikely that it’ll be easy.

I’ll take this issue with t450 and lenovo to keep track of these types of things.

On another note, I also have this problem:

Youtube videos will suddenly freeze in full screen mode in Firefox.

However, it is for any HTML5 video player.

clarkkozak · 16 October 2020 20:33

Hey Krill!

~ $ bluetoothctl
Waiting to connect to bluetoothd...

It hangs on that. Once upon a time it worked via the bluetoothctl however, it doesn’t seem like it.

EDIT: Adapter sounds like a good idea; although not preferable. We due do it exists yet aren’t sure exactly why it’s not connect.

kagetora13 · 17 October 2020 03:15

I filed the Firefox Video bug here:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1671069

kagetora13 · 17 October 2020 03:26

@krill @clarkkozak

So what I was reading on the Arch forum is some people are indicating that PulseAudio got broken on the latest release (which is causing Bluetooth to not connect dependably). The person in the below post downgraded their packages.

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=259757

In my testing I did use the ‘bluetoothctl’ to connect to my headphones. I also issued the command to trust the device from command line. After this sound work correctly. But then after I reboot the laptop and try to connect to same headphones via Gnome Bluetooth controls it fails to connect again.

So if this is a regression with Pulse Audio, I’m trying to figure out whether there is a patch coming to Arch.

clarkkozak · 24 October 2020 15:47

@kagetora13

How can I test this? This is my current version:

~ $ pulseaudio --version
pulseaudio 13.0

Is version 13.0 the breaking change?

The_Quantum_Alpha · 24 October 2020 20:00

Howdy!

Can you please try to follow this guide?

kagetora13 · 25 October 2020 16:01

Hi Clark,

I’m also on version version 13 of Pulseaudio (so assuming this is part of the problem).

To be 100% honest I just switch this month from my Thinkpad x230\T430s (3 years on Manjaro) to the T450 and T450s as my daily drivers. So when I read through the thread in ([DOWNGRADED] Latest updates broke Bluetooth / Kernel & Hardware / Arch Linux Forums) I wonder if other updates to software are contribute the bad bluetooth behavior.

So perhaps what we should be looking for is whether an official bug has been filed on this issue?
