Bluetooth causing issues.

Hey all, so recently, I think since the last update to bluez, I've been getting all kinds of issues with bluetooth. None of my devices get detected anymore and anything that relies on the bluetooth header files to compile just throws all kinds of errors...

Any ideas?

So far all I've done is reinstall the bluez package and I've no idea where to go from there.

Re: Bluetooth causing issues.

detection: the device might be blocked, type "rfkill list" and if there is smt like:

1: acer-bluetooth: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: yes
        Hard blocked: no

type "rfkill unblock 1"

you can also run "/usr/sbin/bluetoothd -n" to see if the bluetooth daemon is init properly

EDIT: lol, I've found that my bluetooth isn't actually working atm

└─(:)) $)─> sudo /usr/sbin/bluetoothd -n

it worked some 4 month ago, but as I don't use it, i haven't checked since...

EDIT2: it's actually working, reboot needed. this "changethedirwithkmodulesaftereveryeventhesmallestupgrade" thing is giving me torture lately

Re: Bluetooth causing issues.

Had to install rfkill, but it shows no on both [I found my bluetooth working after I left it plugged in during boot instead of plugging it in after the fact].

As for the other command:

bluetoothd[2527]: Bluetooth daemon 4.98
D-Bus setup failed: Name already in use
bluetoothd[2527]: Unable to get on D-Bus

Yet I can connect to my devices.

Compiling things that rely on bluetooth though, that didn't fix itself by leaving a bluetooth device plugged in on boot. Throws errors on the bluetooth.h file [for reference I'm compiling the Dolphin emulator and the xbox controller drivers, which (without the driver I'm compiling) started working after I left it plugged in at boot...hrm....]
