Unfortunately a bluetooth-66serv service file doesn't exist yet. Although I don't have experience with it myself, I tried once doing something with an old phone and bt dongle and failed. see if bluetoothctl --help will help you. Sort of running the service manually without 66 supervising the service.

Otherwise be patient for a more knowledgeable person to offer a solution, or write up a service file for it.

Hi udo and welcome.

Thx for the report. The service has not been updated to the testing repository. It will be available in few hours.

bluetoothd-66serv is available in observice-testing repository.

pacman -Sy bluetoothd-66serv

I do not have any bluetooth devices to test if everything works as expected, plz report a problem in the Bug report section of the forum.

Thx

I just noticed that bluetoothd-66serv-0.1.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is obsolete because it did not track changes made by the update of bluez-5.50-7-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (/usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd) to bluez-5.51-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (/usr/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd). Besides, I think the new version of the package should include starting obexd, as was the case with bluetoothd-s6serv-0.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz, which worked properly. Thanks.

I think, before anyone else verifies, you can copy
# cp /usr/lib/66/service/bluetoothd /etc/66/service/
# $edit (nano/vi/..etc) /etc/66/service/bluetoothd

and go to the execute line and switch
/usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd to /usr/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd

then 66-enable the bluetoothd service
If you have done it already and it didn't run, disable it from the tree and enable it again, or use the -c option and -S to start it again.
Use the -v3 option and then run # 66-inservice -p30 to see its log

Edit: I don't have a bt thingy here to test if it works

I already tried that, it not worked ... if it would be of a help, this was thrown ...

dumb question: Is dbus running in a root tree?
because I run /usr/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd -n and I get the same error because I don't use dbus, haven't for a long while :)
But have no bluez device but that would be an error of further than dbus
# 66-enable -S dbus

... obviously ... yes

Please sync and update. Also bluetoothd-66serv contain now obexd as user service.

... thanks, but still there is problem with starting bluetooth daemon ... obexd is up, though

have you udpated the bluez package?
Anyway be sure to have /usr/share/dbus-1/system.d/{bluetooth,bluetooth-mesh}.conf file. The previous packages installed those files at the wrong place meaning /usr/share/dbus-1/dbus-1/system.d/{bluetooth,bluetooth-mesh}.conf.

Please check it out.

Can you give this guy a hand on how to create his own service file for tlp (next thread on 66)

Fungal, I suppose that was once a link to another post?

I'm back with more Bluetooth fun...
I'm currently back at my mexican workstation. My NIC is an Intel Dual AC wireless 7260 mini-PCIe. These intel combined cards are sort of notorious for having issues over several generations. I've never had the need to use Bluetooth on this machine before so I didn't bother. I bought myself some bluetooth speakers though and would like to use them with my Obarun.

So what's the exact problem?
The bluetooth portion of the card is simply not recognized in Obarun. Also Plasma shows no available devices in its settings.

What packages are installed, what services running?
bluez, bluez-libs, bluez-utils, bluez-qt, bluedevil (plasma), qt5-connectivity (optional[?])
bluetoothd-66serv is enabled and running in a root user tree but actually bails in the log:

Ok. That's pretty clear. But WHY?
I indeed miss this path completely. There's not even any /usr/lib/bluetooth parent directory on my install. Furthermore the only entries in /usr/lib regarding Bluetooth is the libbluetooth.so.3.19.2* socket and it's corresponding symbolic links. I can install the mentioned packages any times I want. It won't get created either.

rfkill recognizes the device:

marian@ obarun ~ % rfkill
ID TYPE      DEVICE      SOFT      HARD
 0 wlan      phy0   unblocked unblocked
 1 bluetooth hci0   unblocked unblocked

so does the kernel apparently:

marian@ obarun [127] ~ % dmesg | grep Bluetooth
[    6.824423] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.22

[    6.853570] Bluetooth: hci0: Intel device is already patched. patch num: 2a

so does bluez-utils:

marian@ obarun ~ % btmgmt

        short name 
hci0:   Configuration options
        supported options: public-address 
        missing options:

Necessary kernel modules seem to be loaded:

marian@ obarun ~ % lsmod | grep blue           
bluetooth             696320  5 btrtl,btintel,btbcm,btusb
ecdh_generic           16384  1 bluetooth
rfkill                 28672  6 bluetooth,cfg80211
crc16                  16384  2 bluetooth,ext4

(Although it sort of throws me off that bluetooth says "btintel". Intel states that iwlwifi is the driver responsible for these cards?)

When I issue "bluetoothctl" from bluez-utils the command will indefinitely try to connect to bluetoothd (surprise surprise, no bluetoothd there to begin with...)

I'm currently dual booting with Windows and have read concerns that Windows can sort of kidnap the MAC of a hardware device. But from all the output I seriously doubt that is the case here. The issue seems to be the missing /usr/lib/bluetooth directory. Also many people advice to disable co-existence of Bluetooth and WIFI on these cards with a iwlwifi module option which didn't work either.
On YouTube people mask out(!) between one and three pins on the NIC itself to get it discovered...(although several of those have this issue even on Windows and my Windows installation detects the card fine and works out of the box.)


Any idea why /usr/lib/bluetooth might be missing? Am I missing packages? I've read that people of similar Intel cards install bluez-utils-compat from AUR instead of bluez-utils from official repos to get it to work, but that has a systemd dependency...

Any idea why /usr/lib/bluetooth might be missing?

just because the dev is a stupid guy :p.

Well Arch push libexec stuff to /usr/lib which is clearly a bad behavior. libexec thing should be on, well, /usr/libexec. So, when i found some stuff like this, i change the path to the correct one. So, on Obarun, bluez package install obexd,bluetoothd,bluetooth-meshd at /usr/libexec/bluetooth directory.
Ok, but when i did the service, i used the /usr/lib path instead of /usr/libexec lol.

So, just synchronize the observice repo, install the new version of bleutoothd-66serv(0.2.2-1) and enable it again.

Fabulous! Works.
Thank you very much for another explanation and quick fix!

Hello Eric,

Ever since the instalation of bluetooth-66serv 0.1.3 ( now 0.2.1 in charge , didn't update to 0.2.2, yet ), everything works flawlessly, despite obvious errors in packages 0.2.0 and 0.2.1, which I didn't noticed.

The only explanation that came to my mind is that changes didn't touched database, which still keep correct start script from package 0.1.3.

Could you, please, help me to fix it, even it is not broken ... and bring it in expected state, when it will be broken.

P.S. Note that instead of package version number it show: None

installing the service doesn't mean that you running service is changed. The installation just overwrite the corresponding frontend file at /usr/lib/66/service. But if you don't enable again the service you still use the version that you used previously. 66 will not take policies decision for you and it will not do "magical stuff" for you. We are not on systemd here :).

So, install the last version of bluetoothd-66serv package then update your service:

# 66-enable -F -t root bluetoothd

finally reload it in memory

# 66-start -R -t root bluetoothd

it should be ok.

please update the dbus-66serv and enable it again:

# 66-enable -F -t <tree_name> dbus

It should solve the permissions issue

update again and force the overwrite of the configuration file and tell me

# 66-enable -F -C -t <tree> dbus
# 66-start -R -t <tree> dbus

do the same for your dbus-session

Edit: be sure to use the 0.0.5.1 66-tools version

all is ok! ... I did exactly what you asked ... it was a little bit rough, but 0.1.6-1 is good one ... thanks.

I don't have the ability to see other devices or connect to them. I have read through this thread to the best of my ability and tried all of the commands, and am certain I have all the correct packages and all of the parts of the system are connected to each other and can 'see' my device. But scanning never finds anything else.

Can anyone please help me? Just tell me what input or ouput I need to provide in order to get some assistance. Many thanks in advance

*bump*

I could really use a few pointers here, if anyone is willing. My bluetooth speaker misses his buddies Metallica

provide logs of your service.
