Debian 12: Bluetooth errors with kernel 6.1.0-20-amd64

[Victor Brand]

After updating to kernel linux-image-6.1.0-20-amd64, I receive error messages in the system log:

These error messages appear both on my desktop with an Intel wifi card (iwlwifi module) and on my laptop with an Atheros card (ath9k). Booting back into the kernel linux-image-6.1.0.18-amd64 fixes the issue.

Did you experience any issue with Bluetooth connections apart from message errors in system logs ?

I do not think it is the security update 6.1.0.20 since I also have bluetooth connection problem on 6.1.0.18.

Hello @admiincomp,

I do not think it is the security update 6.1.0.20 since I also have bluetooth connection problem on 6.1.0.18.

Thank you for your contribution. The OP wrote:

If you had bluetooth connection problem on 6.1.0.18, please open a new discussion (or continue on your previously opened discussion).

[admiincomp]

the problem is definitely not related to the latest kernel 6.1.0.20 as I am running that version after I had the issue with bluetooth and it runs fine under that version.

Hello @admiincomp,

That's not what the OP reported in this discussion (so far). Please stay on topic.

I have met exactly the same problem, and my bluetooth works on 6.1.0.18 but not 6.1.0.20.

@zzhang1987, @Victor Brand
Did you check for missing firmware messages ? You can use the following command (root password required):

Code: Select all

script log.txt
su -l -c "journalctl -b --grep firmw"
exit

The output will be in file named log.txt

I have met exactly the same problem, and my bluetooth works on 6.1.0.18 but not 6.1.0.20.

I have two machines running 6.1.0-20 that I had to correct by reinstalling bluetooth and pipwire and they worked. After a restart of one workstation bluetooth stopped working properly.
