Hello,
I am not able to figure out whatever bluetooth issues I am having. None of my devices stay connected and will never reconnect once disconnected. I have a pair of WH-XM4 and they will not stay connected. Here is what I tried so far:
Reinstall BlueZ
Check for blocking with rfkill
Restart Bluetooth, but I just get this error “Bluez Daemon is not running, blueman-manager cannot continue”
I’m at my wits end. Please help.
BlueZ has/had some problematic issues with connectivity. Bazzite and other distros had problems a few months ago that sound awfully similar to what you’re experiencing. I’m not as familiar with how Mint handles packages (like if they have their own repos with specific package versions), but it might be that your specific version is behind the fixes.
Hello, thanks for the response. I might have found the issue. Running dmesg I saw some errors, so I realized I never downloaded a driver for the Bluetooth dongle I’ve been using. I did and rebooted and now I don’t see the error anymore and my headphones are working.
I do appreciate the response. I want to daily drive linux and never go back to windows
You’ll get there.
I’ve been doing it for over 25 years and although it’s been hard at times, I’ve never regretted it.
