[SOLVED] Bluetooth Speakers connection failing after update

Hello, I face an issue with my external bluetooth speaker after an update from last week. When trying to connect, it hangs for a few seconds and then the device powers off itself.
I also have a bluetooth headset but this one is still connecting as expected.

I'm on Linux Kernel 6.9.5-arch1-1 now but I also had the issue with the previous version. I have the last LTS version installed and all is working fine when booting with the LTS so I imagine it's linked to the kernel.
I tried un-pairing and re-pairing the device,  as I saw that sometimes it can solve connection issues but it did not change anything: speakers can't connect but headset is ok.

Here are the corresponding lines from journalctl

journalctl -p 3 -b

I don't really know what you would need as outputs, so feel free to ask anything else. It's been a few months on Arch for me and I'm still learning !
Thank you in advance for your help

Re: [SOLVED] Bluetooth Speakers connection failing after update

Looks related to this discussion & commit:
- https://lore.kernel.org/linux-bluetooth … gmail.com/
- https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … efe77b6903

For some reason the fix has not been included in the stable trees, I will ask upstream why that is the case

Edit: Seems like the fix is already queued for stable: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … nect.patch

Re: [SOLVED] Bluetooth Speakers connection failing after update

OK great, so I guess I'll just have to wait.

I had been looking if there was any report on the issue but didn't really know where to find it.
I just had a look at the two links you posted, I understand roughly what it means but is there any more "readable" kind of "forum" to see the current issues with the kernel and report them maybe ?

Just a final question, how do I close the subject ? I just add [SOLVED] in the title ?
Thank you !

The kernel has a bugzilla, but its sometimes a bit unclear how this is actually used as apparently a lot of developers do not pay attention to it. Most workflows in the kernel community are somewhat email based, so this means no fancy UI's

For issues with the kernels provided in the Arch Linux repositories you can always check our bugtracker (here exemplary for the "linux" package, linux-zen, linux-lts etc have their own repositories) over at https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … x/-/issues and open an issue there if you cant find an already existing bug report.

There also is the kernel regression tracking overview, but that does not include everything: https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/regzbot/stable/

Just a final question, how do I close the subject ? I just add [SOLVED] in the title ?
Thank you !

Yes I think so, not a pro with the forum rules myself

If you want you can also test the stable release candidate that should include this patch:

sudo pacman -U https://pkgbuild.com/\~gromit/linux-bisection-kernels/linux-6.9.6rc1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Thank you, I'll try if I find the time. If I'm not mistaken, the fix should be out in 6.9.6, the next version right ?

Re: [SOLVED] Bluetooth Speakers connection failing after update

I have the same error, my earbuds connects, I start viewing a video and after some seconds disconnects. I looked at journalctl, bluetooth service but I can't figure out what's wrong.

Re: [SOLVED] Bluetooth Speakers connection failing after update

This thread and the fix is a year old, you don't have the same problem, but maybe similar symptoms, in which case opening up a new thread with exact information on your setup will be much more fruitful.

Closing this old thread.
