[opensuse] Bluetooth not working at all now, openSUSE LEAP
I am using openSUSE Leap on a Dell Latitude E5550. Previously, when I went to "Settings | Configure Desktop | Bluetooth", it would allow me to remove devices (which is now not working) and would scan for devices (which is also now not working). I recently updated software (security patches), but I didn’t see anything in there that would have changed how Bluetooth operates. I don’t know how to troubleshoot this. Any ideas? Thanks, Tom

I have been called on this several times. I apologize.
First step would be "systemctl restart bluetooth" second, "systemctl status bluetooth”
That worked, bluetooth is activated and I can scan for devices and pair. The next question I have is why did this service not start upon reboot? Tom-- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

If it's correctly enabled: "systemctl status bluetooth", the start up failed.

systemctl enable bluetooth Should enable the service to be started during each boot. -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/ https://trapa.cz/

bluetooth is started by udev, when bluetooth controller is detected, not on boot. If it was not started, it could mean some problem with udev rules.

Tom: On my not-all-that-different Dell 9400, bluetooth always starts at boot, but doesn't always restart on awake from hybernate or sleep. (suspend to disk, or suspend to ram) I often, but not alwayse, find my BT mouse not working upon resuming. Grrr! I used to sigh an just reboot, because it was quicker than trying all the various systemd incantations. Then I noticed that I had a "FN" key combo to enter airplane mode. Some other machines have a hardware switch. I discovered that pop to airplane mode, count to 5, pop out of airplane mode, and everything works. Further, you can explain this to your grandmother whereas you have not a single chance of getting her to remember the systemd command. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
