Title: Bluetooth with Suite66
Post by: alemao on 08 October 2021, 18:01:32
I am trying to connect a pair of bluetooth headphones to my laptop running Artix with Suite66.

So far I have installed bluez, bluez-suite66, bluez-libs, bluez-utils, blueman and even pulseaudio-bluetooth although I am using Pipewire.
When I run blueman-manager, it says "Bluez daemon is not running" and "This probably means that there were no Bluetooth adapters detected or Bluetooth daemon was not started". I enabled the "bluetoothd" service, but still get the same message. Running bluetoothctl displays "Waiting to connect to bluetoothd..." and stays that way, not letting me enter any commands like here https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/bluetooth#Pairing

When I run `rfkill list all` I can see that my hardware is detected and is not blocked:

0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: no
1: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: no
3: phy0: Wireless LAN
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: no
8: hci0: Bluetooth
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: no

What am I doing wrong and how can I get bluetooth to work?

UPDATE: Seems like I did not start the service. I am used to services taking care of themselves. However, now I cannot connect to the headphones, and running 'connect <MAC>' in blueman-manager returns:
Attempting to connect to <MAC...>
Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed

Connecting through the 'Bluetooth Manager' GUI also fails with a message "Connection Failed: No audio endpoints registered", even though when I turn my headphones on I get dunst notification saying 'Headphones connected'.

From the output you gave, the services are starting correctly as far as suite66 is concerned. As for the error, a web search on it gives this thread, among other results: https://askubuntu.com/q/1172000

One of the answers suggests editing a configuration file for pulseaudio: https://askubuntu.com/a/1300582
