 Posted: Thu Sep 05, 2024 12:17 am Post subject: Bluetooth is disabled at boot time |
 |
|
Hello, there!
For some time now, bluetooth sttarts disabled at boot time and I need to enable it (tipically via the switch on blueman-manager) before using it.
I don`t know what changed, maybe some update earlier this year, but BT usually started enabled at boot. The wiki suggests that BT should be enabled by default at boot time.
Curently I have the bluetooth init script enabled at runlevel default, bluez and blueman installed, no meaningful error messages on dmesg or /var/log/messages. I DO have laptop-mode set, bu bluetooth doesn't seem to be disabled by rf-kill.
Any idea where I could start diagnosing?
Siunce I usually have my laptop with the lid closed and My keyboard and mouse are BT, it gets really inconvenient to have do click blueman-manager after logging in when booting.
Thanks! |

The rfkill(8) command mentioned on that wiki page can be used to determine whether Bluetooth is soft- and/or hard-blocked:
| Code: | $ rfkill
ID TYPE DEVICE SOFT HARD
0 wlan dell-wifi unblocked unblocked
1 bluetooth dell-bluetooth unblocked unblocked
2 wlan phy0 unblocked unblocked
3 wlan phy1 unblocked unblocked
4 bluetooth hci0 unblocked unblocked |

I didn't think its an rfkill issue, because simply clicking on the bleuman dialog, I can enable it. So no hard block at boot.
Funny thing is that wifi seems to be softblocked at boot as well, sooo maybe there?
| Code: |
# rfkill
ID TYPE DEVICE SOFT HARD
0 wlan ideapad_wlan blocked unblocked
1 bluetooth ideapad_bluetooth unblocked unblocked
2 wlan phy0 blocked unblocked
3 bluetooth hci0 unblocked unblocked

I could just put
in /etc/local.d/rfkill
But I would like to know what actually could be causing this rfkill block at boot and revert it |

Yes, it won't work if it's softblocked.
As for why this is happening, i'm not sure.  i had this issue with my previous laptop, on both Void and then Gentoo; i guessed it might have been something at the hardware/firmware level (e.g. in the BIOS). So, yeah, i had to use rc.local to unblock at each boot.
That said, i'd love to hear from anyone with more knowledge about this issue! |
