Post subject: | Audio Bluetooth Setup Issues |
I am trying to setup audio bluetooth connection with my mythbox using a USB adapter but am having problems. I tried following the wiki but it was written in 2011 and I suspect is now out of date. I was able to install bluez which allowed me to run hciconfig to do the first 2 steps and get my dongle running. I could not do the hcitool scan until I had installed bluez-utils. But it is the next step where I am stuck. bluez-simple-agent is not installed nor is it in the repo. Searching around the web I gather it has been replaced with bluetoothctl which is in the bluez-utils package and works well on my Linux Mint desktop. When I try it on LinHES I get Code: [mythtv@silverstone ~]$ bluetoothctl Again I cannot find libreadline.so.6 in the repo.bluetoothctl: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Has anyone worked through this recently? |

You found a package I missed when readline was updated. I have updated and rebuilt bluez. Code: sudo pacman -Syu

Thanks brfransen. I was able to update correctly but unfortunately now hciconfig, hcitool and bluetoothctl all don't work. Code: $ hciconfig -a Just a blinking cursor after bluetoothctl and not the bluetoothctl prompt and nothing showing on 'top'. -bash: hciconfig: command not found $ hcitool scan -bash: hcitool: command not found $ bluetoothctl --help bluetoothctl ver 5.50 Usage: bluetoothctl [options] Options: --agent Register agent handler: <capability> --timeout Timeout in seconds for non-interactive mode --version Display version --help Display help $ bluetoothctl From my experimenting on my desktop machine I have found that hciconfig and hcitool are not necessary as bluetoothctl can do all the required functions although they are still on my desktop. The following is what it looks like on my desktop machine Code: ~ $ bluetoothctl Any ideas on why I can't get bluetoothctl to work. I've trawled through the logs but can't see anything obvious.

Looks like the hci* tools have all been depreciated and are not packaged by default: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-blu ... 69239.html Did the kernel recognize the BT hardware? Maybe need to load a kernel module? Beyond that I am not sure as I haven't used BT on LH. |

The kernel recognized it as a USB device. I was wondering if it loaded a kernel module like btusb? The Arch Wiki might be of some help. Just remember LH doesn't use systemd so none of the service cmds will work. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth |

Does this mean it has loaded a kernel module? Code: $ lsmod | grep bluetoo I have tried a straight Arch install on a virtual machine and I get exacly the same response when I try to start blutoothctl ie. no prompt. Perhaps there is an issue with the package although I cannot find anyone else complaining of the same issue. bluetooth 495616 5 btrtl,btintel,btbcm,btusb rfkill 20480 1 bluetooth crc16 16384 2 bluetooth,ext4 Is anyone else in the LinHES community using bluetooth successfully with the latest version? |

Looks like it did load the kernel module. Since it is doing the same thing in Arch seems like it could be hardware related. Maybe there is another kernel module for your hardware? |

My attempts with Arch in virtual machines was done on 2 other computers one of which was a laptop with onboard bluetooth. I'm not sure it is hardware related. |

The bluetoothd runit service was trying to start bluetoothctl. With newer version of bluez it should be starting bluetoothd. I have fixed that. Code: sudo pacman -Syu sudo add_service.sh bluetoothd sudo sv restart bluetoothd Then try running sudo bluetoothctl. |

Maybe you should try running a "Live CD" of an arch based distro instead of a virtual machine. Sometimes the VM can get in the way of USB devices. |

Post subject: | Re: Audio Bluetooth Setup Issues |
Thanks brfransen that has allowed me to successfully run bluetoothctl. I will continue with the setup process. @mattbatt Now that I have bluetoothctl running I think I will give up on trying it in Arch. |

As I said in my previous post I can now successfully run bluetoothctl which allows me to detect my BT device, pair with it but I cannot connect with it Code: [bluetooth]# pair B2:2B:07:08:11:11 On further reading in an Arch forum post I believe that since version 5 of bluez it requires pulse audio. I think alsa has not been updated for the new APIs. So unless someone knows of a way to get it working with alsa I think I will have to give up.

Just out of curiosity are you trying to transmit Bluetooth audio from your MythTV device to something or the other way around? |
