Bluetooth constantly on/off

jcglopes · 2020-03-12 14:19:45

Hi!

I have a bluetooth mouse. I can pair and use it, but sometimes the mouse keeps disconnecting and reconnecting.

I am using blueman-applet/blueman-manager now to manage my bluetooth devices.

On blueman-manager, when the mouse stops working every listed device disappear from the main list, also two menu items get disabled: adapters, devices.

The blueman-applet output is as following:

blueman-applet version 2.1.1 starting

When this message appears "DiscvManager:75 on_adapter_removed: Warning: adapter is None" the devices disconnect. Any ideas on what to do? I don't know what other info is needed for your help, just say

It's a notebook, and I am not using a USB bluetooth adapter or anything like that. I still tried the "disable USB autosuspend", but it didn't solve the problem.

USB is a bus, not a dongle (check "lsusb", your BT will likely show up there - most are wired on USB)

"Tried" how?
Since userspace powermanagement tools (which you likely have available on a notebook) can alter the USB powrmanagement at runtime, did you ensure the setting prevailed?
