Bluetooth[SOLVED]

Hi all

So far I can´t manage to have the bluetooth working on my pc

I´ve installed bluez, bluez-openrc, bluez-utils, bluez-tools, pulseaidio-bluetooth, blueman
In /etc/bluetooth/main.conf the last line is
AutoEnable=true

When I run the command blueman-manager some menus are disabled  (adaptateur, périphérique)

The network controller is Broadcom BCM4321, the wifi is ok (module b43) and the bluetooth is ok on same pc with linux MX

Really I don´t know how to solve this problem.

NB all my other hardware (Macbook 12 years old + LaserJet 1018 + scanner Epson Perfection V39+ dual screen) is ok with Artix :)

Have a nice day

Maybe try getting it to work using bluetoothctl. I just use that, no gui and it works fine.

Hello Bahuvriri
Thanks for your answer. I´ve have tried bluetoothctl with the same result :
aucun adaptateur bluetooth détecté
(no adapter detected)
When I run MX linux on the same pc the command rfkill returns
rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: no
1: hci0: Bluetooth
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: no
Maybe I´d install hci but I don´t know which package

Broadcom's firmware is closed blob, I'm pretty sure you need their firmware from the AUR.
Code: [Select]
9 aur/bcm20702a1-firmware 1201710-8 (22) (0.89)
    Broadcom bluetooth firmware for BCM20702A1 based devices.
10 aur/bcm20702b0-firmware 1201710-8 (22) (0.89)
    Broadcom bluetooth firmware for BCM20702B0 based devices.
11 aur/bcm20703a1-firmware 1201710-8 (22) (0.89)

    Broadcom bluetooth firmware for BCM4335C0 based devices.
14 aur/bcm4350-firmware 0.3-1 (3) (0.00)
    Bluetooth firmware for the Broadcom BCM4350 card

16 aur/bcm4356a2-firmware 1201710-8 (22) (0.89)
    Broadcom bluetooth firmware for BCM4356A2 based devices.
17 aur/broadcom-bt-firmware-git 12.0.1.1011_p1.r3.gc0bd928-1 (1) (0.61)

18 aur/bt-dw1560-firmware 1.0-1 (6) (0.00)

You can check which one is installed on MX and use it on Artix.

As you said I´ve installer bluez-firmware and bluez-hid2hci and now (after reboot) the command rfkill returns
ID TYPE      DEVICE     SOFT     HARD
 0 bluetooth hci0   débloqué débloqué
 1 wlan      phy0   débloqué débloqué
Now the phone is visible with blueman but no connection and the pc isn´t visible on the phone.
So I´ve tried bluetoothctl with no result so far
bluez-firmware is of no use because b43-fwcutter is already installed for the wifi
Thanks again for your reply.

The good news is you've got bluetooth hardware working. Bad news is I don't use bluetooth myself and can't help you in terms of related software. I remember using KDE Plasma once and it had a really nice bluetooth integration, out of the box.

Could you please try to set  in  /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.bluez.obex.service

Code: [Select]
Exec=/usr/lib/bluetooth/obexd

and report back?


This should allow obexd without a systemd user session.

Hello nous and artoo
I´d rather stay on LXDE than on KDE  :)

I´ve done what you said artoo :

the file  /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.bluez.obex.service doesn´t exist on my Artix OS so

# touch /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.bluez.obex.service

and after I´ve added the line
Exec=/usr/lib/bluetooth/obexd to new file

Reboot but no change. I´m pretty sure there is a solution but too noob to find it.

Hi all
Yesterday I´ve installed again Artix with xfce as desktop manager, b43-firmware (wifi + bluetooth) bluez blueman
This time the file transfert works without problem ( my pc is detected on the phone as localhost-0) from the phone to the pc
Thanks again for your help and advice.
