Bluetooth connects for 20 seconds then disconnects

OpenSourceLeo · 2026-05-17 21:48:50

i did 2 fresh installs and it still persists not sure why, i turned off my onboard bluetooth and used a pcie bluetooth and wifi device and it worked for a while then after a reboot it did the same thing so i did a fresh install and it seems to still be doing the same thing.

this is my journalctl from boot - {https://pastebin.com/zg6Hdi5J}

Do this:

Edit:
nano ~/.config/kdeconnect/config

add this line in [General] section:
[General]
disabled_providers=AsyncLinkProvider

this will solve the issue with KDE and BT in Arch.

one of those occasions seems to knock out your BT.

Is BT stable w/o the xbox controller?
