Blueman-manager not working properly
Don't know when this happened, but I suddenly noticed that Blueman no longer works properly.
My BT devices connect OK, but the tray icon doesn't change colour to indicate connection, and when checking in the gui (Devices > Info) it says "connected no". No pop-up notifications when connecting/disconnecting. Reverting to previous version (blueman-2.4) doesn't make any difference. Anyone else experiencing the same? Possible solutions? |
I think it's kernel related. Started happening for me from 6.6.23 onwards (or at least reverting to 6.6.22 made it go away), on slackware64 15.0.
Some possibly related discussion at "https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/generic-kernel-config-changed-bluetooth-mouse-no-longer-works-4175735404/" I haven't found a solution yet. |
Interesting... although in the thread you mention the OP states that the regression was fixed in kernel 6.6.25, and I'm on 6.6.27 (lastest -current kernel).
I've raised the issue at https://github.com/blueman-project/blueman so let's see what happens there. |
Got an explanation at github.com/blueman: apparently it's a kernel regression from 6.6.23 and onwards, not yet fixed in any release:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218680 I've mentioned this in the "Requests" thread, maybe Pat can give us a kernel upgrade without the commit that's caused it. |
The proposed fix does work on kernel 6.6.27. Here's hoping it makes it into the next kernel release.
|
It's in Linus's tree since 2024-04-10, so it will be in 6.9-rc4 later today. But I didn't see it cc'd to stable@kernel.org.
|
At github.com/blueman, Christopher Schramm has written;
"Double checked now. 6.9 will work and I also expect the fix in 6.8.7 and 6.6.28." Let's hope he's right about 6.6.28. |
Fix is included in 6.6.28-rc1

Solved in latest kernel for -current (6.6.28).
