I am using the Royal Kludge RK61 60% mechanical keyboard with my Arch Linux system. This problem started occurring when I built a new system and redid my bluetooth set up.
Basically the issue is that the RK61 goes into various levels of power saving/hibernation modes the longer you leave it. I fucking hate this. I'm sitting right in front of my desk, I don't want the keyboard to turn off after I stop using it for a minute.
When it is at it's deepest level of hibernation, pressing a key wakes it up. On my last system, it would take roughly 10 seconds for the keyboard to connect enough to be able to type characters. Now, the keyboard simply will not reconnect to the system.
Here is what it does when I open up blueman-manager and try to click "Connect" on the board https://i.imgur.com/sZYcepT.png
The only way to fix it is:
- Completely remove the board from blueman-manager
- Enter pairing mode on board with Fn+q/w/e
- Search devices with blueman-manager
- "Connect" to device (pairing/setup doesn't seem to help)
And now it will be connected until the next time you leave it alone for 10 minutes.
When this happens, I do
sudo journalctl | grep bluetoothand I get
Aug 14 13:24:08 reaper bluetoothd[599]: Can't get HIDP connection info
Aug 14 13:24:14 reaper bluetoothd[599]: connect error: Host is down (112)If I keep pressing buttons on the disconnected keyboard, I usually get a popup notification saying something like "Device <MAC> wants to authorize pairing, enter pin"... The problem is that NOWHERE in any program is there a prompt to actually enter that pin.
I also wiped the memory of the board by holding Fn+Space, which didn't work.
To further troubleshoot, I wiped my blueman-manager settings and redid the setup only using bluetoothctl commands, as per the wiki.
The commands all went off without a hitch, and the end result I see in blueman-applet is the exact same as if I were to configure it there. At no point is a PIN requested.
Why is this happening? I have a broadcom wifi card, and I have read of conflictions between bt/wifi, but i'm not sure how to diagnose this annoying issue. I would also like this keyboard to connect on startup, so I don't have to keep a wired board here just to log in.
