I have never used bluetooth in Linux before. I have a bluetooth headphone from work that works fine with my phone and macos but I wanted to try it in Linux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I give it a quick go last night. This was my initial link<\/a>. I had already installed the driver:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I had to install “blueman” that is the frontend to manage your bluetooth devices later:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The service was already enabled:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then I had to enable bluetooth:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then I can test it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n But once I paired the device…. I had an error:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I found several links and this is the only things that worked for me: link1<\/a> and link2<\/a>. So I had to install “libspa-0.2-bluetooth” and reboot:<\/p>\n\n\n\n So I managed to paired the headseats without error but then a new issue… I lost internet connection…. And after checking several things, it was just enabling bluetooth that caused the lost of internet access. There was nothing in the logs saying anything about my wifi disconnecting or anything similar….<\/p>\n\n\n\n If I disabled bluetooth, my connection was back…. so more work to do. So it seems there is some interference between the modules or the drivers? Searched things about it. I checked this<\/a>. But no luck yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To be continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have never used bluetooth in Linux before.
