Can not activate bluetooth

[LarsF]

Hi everyone I have a problem. I have used this wiki https://wiki.debian.org/BluetoothUser but when i open blueman or bluedevil I can not find any devices. Then I run this command

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth status

Some of the lines in the log seem to have been cut off when you pasted them here.
You can do

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl edit bluetooth.service

and put in the following:

Code: Select all

[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd --debug -n

Now, if you do a

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

and then

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl start bluetooth

you'll get more debugging output in the journal.

Lars, you haven't given us any details at all about your hardware, or for that matter your OS. My first guess is that you are missing firmware for your Bluetooth device but that guess is based on a near-total lack of information! Do you have firmware-linux-nonfree installed?

[GarryRicketson]

Post the output of:

Code: Select all

lsb_release -a 

and show us some better details on you system, please.

I can think of at least 1 other reason, besides missing firmware, but it all depends on what Debian Version it is, if it is even Debian.

Is empty. I wrote in the lines, and then

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Unknown operation deamon-reload.

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl start bluetooth

Job for bluetooth.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status bluetooth.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

My system is a Acer aspire E5-571-59AX with Debian 9 (Stretch). Bluetooth adapter is built-in Qualcomm Atheros AR956X. I have installed firmware-linux-nonfree for Qualcomm Atheros AR956X. At the beginning there was a fail of loading firmware on boot, that has changed when I installed the firmware. But then the fail to start came.

Post the output of:

lsb_release -a

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 9.9 (stretch)
Release: 9.9
Codename: stretch

Unknown operation deamon-reload.

That's odd. You're definitely using a systemd system, so I'm confused as to why that didn't work. Please make sure you didn't make a typo.

Job for bluetooth.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status bluetooth.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Right. You should have gotten more output in the journal, so you should do

Code: Select all

sudo journalctl -xe -u bluetooth.service

to see if there's more output there.

[LarsF]

Sorry what is a typo?

Code: Select all

$ sudo journalctl -xe -u bluetooth.service

Sorry what is a typo?

I meant that

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

is a valid command, so if it complained saying that it's an unknown option, maybe you made a typo when typing it?

[edit] Sorry, didn't realize you were asking what a typo is. It's when you make a mistake when typing something out, so you type "sudo systemctl deamon-reload" instead of "sudo systemctl daemon-reload" and systemd doesn't know what to do.

As for the logs, it seems that when you're copy-pasting the journal output, it's getting cut off.

Can you please do:

Code: Select all

sudo journalctl -xea -u bluetooth.service > logs.txt

and upload the text file (do not copy-paste the contents of the file, just attach it to your reply)?

Lars, "typo" is slang for "typographical error". Some of us backwoods rednecks call it "fat-fingering".

Sorry It was a typo
but it made no difference to the

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl start bluetooth

still the same error.

When I try to upload an attachment I get an error The extension txt is not allowed.

Okay Thanks for the info.

Hmm, okay. Could you upload it to a site like https://textuploader.com/ and paste the URL here? I just don't want the forum or your copy-pasting to strip out valuable info.

Or put it into a .zip file.

The OP can use the --no-pager option to output plain text to the terminal, this will ease copy&pasting to the boards.

chaanakya and kevinthefixer here is a link to textuploader http://txt.do/1dmyf

What a surprise, permissions problems. Not being a guru, I can't tell if "the configuration file" is for dbus or bluez, but that's where I'd start looking.

Did you modify /usr/share/dbus/system-services/org.bluez.service? Could you try the following?

Code: Select all

sudo apt purge bluez && sudo apt install bluez

That should hopefully reset the security policy and hopefully fix the issue.

That didn't work.

I dont know if it is related but I made a

Code: Select all

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

and that also made fail

Sorry it is in danish. Is there any way to get it in english, else If there is something I should translate just let me know.

This is sort of unrelated, but you added a PPA (which is for Ubuntu) to Debian. You made a FrankenDebian. Enlightenment exists in the Debian repositories, and you should directly pull from their git repository if you want a newer version (or switch to Testing or Unstable). Don't use PPAs in Debian.

As for bluez, I'm not really sure, since purging and reinstalling should have reset the security policy. What is the output of the following?

Code: Select all

cat /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.bluez.service

How about this?

Code: Select all

systemctl cat bluetooth.service

Did you change anything bluetooth related, like the systemd service or the D-Bus policy?
