Upgrade broke bluetooth - would like help diagnosing cause

cfr · 2012-10-28 22:16:37

I ran two pacman -Syu cycles today and one or other (but I'm not sure which) has broken bluetooth. I would like, if possible, to figure out the most likely causes and whether there is anything which might have avoided this.

A little background: bluetooth has always been dodgy on this machine. A BIOS upgrade helped but has not really resolved the issues under Linux. (Can't say about Windows as I don't use it.) Since the upgrade there is a reasonably certain way of restoring bluetooth but it is, frankly, a PITA. (It involves resetting BIOS to defaults which renders the machine unbootable as it wipes the EFI boot entry for grub. This is easily fixed but it is a pain to have to go through this all the time.)

The issue is that bluetooth appears as hard blocked and nothing I've found short of the above reenables it.

Here's pacman's log for today:

I assume that obex-data-server is a plausible culprit but I'm not certain whether other things might be implicated such as glibc.

I'm not sure why "adaptor /org/bluez/447/hci0" would be disabled? Or what would have disabled it? I guessing this is the key but is this a symptom or a cause?

EDIT: I just realised that in the above output, CROND seems to be using the lts modules for bluetooth (not sure what cron does with bluetooth). The records show that I was not booted with the lts kernel at this point. (I had to check as I did try the lts kernel when my machine was badly overheating but it didn't seem to help.) I have no idea what those commands are trying to do, but is that expected?

Well, what does your root crontab show? I guess you should probably also dig around to see if you can figure out where those cronjobs are running from. They indicate root, but I know that can also come from the set of scripts in /etc.

What happens if you modprobe that module. Like maybe load it (and hope that it then loads the right one), or removing the module and reloading it.

Also, the other day, I discovered that with UEFI, you can have a default efi program that doesn't require a boot manager entry. Anything that is saved as \EFI\boot\bootx86.efi will automatically be booted when you select your device from the boot manager menu (like the hard drive itself, as if you were going to boot from the mbr). I am not sure what would happen though if you were to have two efi system partitions though, but I am fairly certain you only have one.

So I have set my system up so that I have one boot manager entry for linux-ck, and then my hard drive is second in the boot list. So if I selecy my hard drive, I have gummiboot set up as bootx64.efi, and from there I have all my other possible boot methods, including the shell. Since you are a grub user, maybe you should copy grub to that position and see what happens. I guess this is why the bios has a setting to switch whether uefi or bios should be tried first.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that the bluetooth module is already loaded. I assume it is the one matching the current kernel else it would not have worked.

EDIT: definitely the right version.

The CROND thing has me stumped. root has no crontab and I can't find anything in the files under /etc which looks at all likely.

$ ls /etc/cron*
/etc/cron.deny  /etc/crontab

/etc/cron.cfrbackup:
cfrbackup-full*

/etc/cron.cfrbackup.hen:
cfrbackup-full*

/etc/cron.d:
0hourly

/etc/cron.daily:
abs*  hplip_cron*  logrotate*  man-db*  pkgfile*  shadow*  updatedb*

/etc/cron.hourly:
0anacron*  10cfrbackup*  20pacmandbcheck*

/etc/cron.hourly.dis:
0anacron-cfrbackup*

/etc/cron.monthly:

/etc/cron.weekly:
chkrootkit*  pkgstats*

crontab runs the stuff in cron.hourly. cron.d/0hourly does the same. anacrontab runs the contents of cron.{daily,weekly,monthly}. I'm not sure right now where else to look.

EDIT: thanks for the tip re. EFI. I might try that - it looks like something I have not tried before. (But is it /boot/efi/efi/bootx86.efi or /boot/efi/efi/bootx64.efi? You mention both. Or am I confused?)

The path I mentioned was from the root of the efi system partition. So I think I have seen you mention that you mount at /boot/efi, so in your case it would be /boot/efi/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi . Kind of confusing I know... That is why I really like having my ESP mounted at /boot. It just makes everything look so much simpler.

The cron thing is really funky, but it only shows up that first time. I think your real problem is the "thinkpad_acpi: rfkill switch tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: radio is blocked" as I am fairly certain you have gone through something like this before. I would expect that it would be indicating to you that it has been unblocked if it were to get it working.

Have you checked rfkill?

Edit, oh I see what you are saying, I accidently put 86. It is definitely \EFI\boot\bootx64.efi (of course that, again, is from the root of you efi system partition).

Thanks. So /boot/efi/efi/boot/bootx64.efi in my case. I will give that a whirl.

rfkill says bluetooth is both hard and soft blocked. I was more wondering if the CROND message might indicate what resulted in its being blocked. (Technically, I should be able to un-hard-block it using fn+f5, I think, but this has no effect on my machine - not in Linux, anyway.) Or I should be able to echo enabled to the correct file under /proc but that never has any effect either.
