Bluetooth + GNOME issues

Bluetooth + GNOME issues

[Ekaitz Zarraga]

Hi there

I'm having issues to make bluetooth work with GNOME that I don't know how to fix.

I managed to run bluez and even connect to a speaker via bluetoothctl. I was unable to make it sound though, because it doesn't appear as a possible audio output.

This is my current configuration:

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Just to add some extra information.

Running gnome-control-center makes these messages. It's working, its finding all the stuff but I see nothing in the screen but "No bluetooth available, please insert a dongle"

Re: Bluetooth + GNOME issues

[raingloom]

Could it be a udev config issue? Some packages (most notably the 
Android tooling) require manual configuration.
I don't know much about Bluetooth audio though, maybe someone else does.

Can you connect to your dongle manually?

See
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth
for detailed instructions.

Yes I actually did via `bluetoothctl` and it worked.

Once I was connected GNOME recognized the connection but the settings didn't show it. It only appeared in the system tray.

Also I was unable to make it work, because the device (it's a speaker) didn't appear as an extra audio output.

This seems like a known issue. Maybe check https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/32166 to confirm?

It's the same thing I'd say but as I'm using a bluetooth speaker I'm not able to make the it sound. I don't really care about having a settings menu if there's a way for me to make it sound but I'm unable to find it.

Reading the bluetooth-service documentation I see a part that says, "Users need to be in the ‘lp’ group to access the D-Bus service." The user defined in your config.scm doesn't seem to be in that group. I don't have a clue, but could that be the problem?

I changed my group and the problem persists. I can see the bluetooth in the system tray but the Settings don't show any device and "Not interested in Bluez" keeps happening.

How isn't it interested? I don't understand.
