Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a standard for the short-range wireless interconnection of cellular phones, computers, and other electronic devices. In Linux, the canonical implementation of the Bluetooth protocol stack is BlueZ.

Installation

To use Bluetooth, install bluez, available in the Official Repositories. The dbus daemon(start automatically by systemd) is used to read settings and for PIN pairing, while the bluetooth daemon is required for the Bluetooth protocol.

Start the bluetooth service:

# systemctl start bluetooth.service

Enable the bluetooth service at system boot up:

# systemctl enable bluetooth.service

Graphical front-ends

The following packages allow for a graphical interface to customize Bluetooth.

Blueman

Blueman is a full featured Bluetooth manager written in GTK+ and, as such, is recommended for GNOME or Xfce. You can install Blueman with the package blueman, available in the Official Repositories.

Be sure that bluetooth daemon is running as described above, and execute blueman-applet. To make the applet run on login add blueman-applet either under System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications (GNOME) or Xfce Menu -> Settings -> Session and Startup (Xfce).

In order for a user to add and manage Bluetooth devices using Blueman, the user must be added to the 'lp' group. See /etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf for the section that enables users of the 'lp' group to communicate with the Bluetooth daemon.

Note: If you are running Blueman outside GNOME/GDM (e.g., in Xfce using the startx command) you should add . /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/* on top of your ~/.xinitrc to make Nautilus capable to browse your devices.

To receive files don't forget to right click on the Blueman tray icon -> Local Services -> Transfer -> File Receiving" and tick the square box next to "Enabled".

Script for Thunar

If you are not using Nautilus (for example Thunar) you may find the following script useful:

obex_thunar.sh

 #!/bin/bash
 fusermount -u ~/bluetooth
 obexfs -b $1 ~/bluetooth
 thunar ~/bluetooth

Now you will need to move the script to an appropriate location (e.g., /usr/bin). After that, mark it as executable:

chmod +x /usr/bin/obex_thunar.sh

The last step is to change the line in Blueman tray icon -> Local Services -> Transfer -> Advanced to obex_thunar.sh %d.

GNOME Bluetooth

GNOME Bluetooth is a fork of the old bluez-gnome and is focused on integration with the GNOME desktop environment. GNOME Bluetooth is required by gnome-shell, so you should already have it installed if you are running GNOME 3. Otherwise, it can be installed with the package gnome-bluetooth.

Run bluetooth-applet for a nice Bluetooth applet. You should now be able to setup devices and send files by right-clicking the Bluetooth icon. To make the applet run on login, add it to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications.

To add a Bluetooth entry to the SendTo menu in Thunar's file properties menu, see instructions here.

BlueDevil

The Bluetooth tool for KDE is BlueDevil. It can be installed with the package bluedevil, available in the Official Repositories.

Make sure bluetooth daemon is running, as described above. You should get a Bluetooth icon both in Dolphin and in the system tray, from which you can configure BlueDevil and detect Bluetooth devices by clicking the icon. You can also configure BlueDevil from the KDE System Settings

Fluxbox, Openbox, other WM

Of course you can still use the preceding applications even if GNOME, Xfce or KDE are not your desktop manager. This list should help you figuring out which application does what:

• bluetooth-applet -- tray icon with access to settings, pairing wizard, management of known devices
• /usr/lib/gnome-user-share/gnome-user-share -- needs to be running if you're about to receive files via obexBT from a paired/bonded device

if you're receiving an error during transmission and/or there's no file received add this into

/etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf

 <policy user="your_user_id">
   <allow own="org.bluez"/>
   <allow send_destination="org.bluez"/>
   <allow send_interface="org.bluez.Agent"/>
 </policy>

• bluetooth-wizard -- for new devices to be paired
• bluetooth-properties -- accessible also via bluetooth-applet icon
• gnome-file-share-properties -- permissions on receiving files via bluetooth
• bluez-sendto -- gui for sending files to a remote device

Manual configuration

To configure BlueZ manually, you may need to edit the configuration files in /etc/bluetooth. These are:

audio.conf
input.conf
main.conf
network.conf
rfcomm.conf

The default configuration should work for most purposes. Most configuration options are well-documented in these files, so customization is a simple matter of reading the option descriptions. For general options, start with main.conf.

Audio Streaming

You can use bluez-tools^AUR from the AUR with pulseaudio to stream audio to a bluetooth headset. Find the MAC of the headset:

$ hcitool scan

Connect to the headset:

$ bt-audio -c XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

Open pulseaudio volume control:

$ pavucontrol

The headset should show up in the Configuration tab.

Pairing

Many bluetooth devices require pairing. The exact procedure depends on the devices involved and their input functionality.

The procedure on a mobile may be as follows:

• The computer sends a connect request to the mobile.
• A pin, determined by the computer, is prompted for at the mobile
• The same key must be re-entered at the computer.

To pair with a device without using the gnome-bluez package, the bluez-simple-agent utility that comes with the bluez package can be used. This utility depends on two packages from [extra]:

# pacman -S python2-dbus python2-gobject 

First, scan for external devices:

$ hcitool scan

Run the script as root:

# bluez-simple-agent

The message "Agent registered" should be returned, press control-c to quit.

Below is a basic example of pairing with a specific device. The script will ask for the passcode, enter the code and confirm with enter.

# bluez-simple-agent hci0 00:11:22:33:AA:BB

Note: bluez-simple-agent is only needed once for pairing a device, not every time you want to connect.

See the Examples section below for pairing examples with various devices.

Using Obex for sending and receiving files

Another option, rather than using KDE or Gnome Bluetooth packages, is Obexfs which allows you to mount your phone and treat it as part of your filesystem. Note that to use Obexfs, you need a device that provides an Obex FTP service.

To install;

# pacman -S obexfs

and then your phone can then be mounted running as root

# obexfs -b <devices mac address> /mountpoint

For more mounting options see http://dev.zuckschwerdt.org/openobex/wiki/ObexFs

For devices don't support Obex FTP service, check if Obex Object Push is supported.

# sdptool browse XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

Read the output, look for Obex Object Push, remember the channel for this service. If supported, you can use ussp-push to send files to this device:

# ussp-push XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX@CHANNEL file wanted_file_name_on_phone

Examples

Siemens S55

This is what I did to connect to my S55. (I have not figured out how to initiate the connection from the phone)

• The steps under installation

  $> hcitool scan
  Scanning ...
          XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX  NAME
  $> B=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

Start the simple-agent in a second terminal

  $> su -c bluez-simple-agent

Logitech Mouse MX Laser / M555b

To quickly test the connection:

$> hidd --connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

For automated reconnection, use your desktop wizard to configure the bluetooth mouse. If your desktop environment doesn't includes support for this task, see the Bluetooth mouse manual configuration guide.

Motorola V900

After installing blueman and running blueman-applet, click "find me" under connections -> bluetooth in motorla device. In blueman-applet, scan devices, find the motorola, click "add" in blueman-applet. Click "bond" in blueman-applet, enter some pin, enter the same pin in motorola when it asks. In terminal:

  cd ~/
  mkdir bluetooth-temp
  obexfs -n xx:yy:zz:... ~/bluetooth-temp
  cd ~/bluetooth-temp

and browse... Only audio, video, and pictures are available when you do this.

Pairing with an iPhone using bluez-simple-agent

Assuming a bluetooth device called hci0 and an iPhone that showed up in a hcitool scan as '00:00:DE:AD:BE:EF':

   # bluez-simple-agent hci0 00:00:DE:AD:BE:EF
   Passcode:

Headset and Alsa Devices

1. First if you have not already, install bluez

# pacman -S bluez

2. Scan for your device

$ hcitool (-i <optional hci#>***) scan

3. Pair your headset with your device

$ bluez-simple-agent (optional hci# ***) XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
  and put in your pin (0000 or 1234, etc)

4. Add this to your/etc/asound.conf file

#/etc/asound.conf

pcm.btheadset {
   type plug
   slave {
       pcm {
           type bluetooth
           device XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX 
           profile "auto"
       }   
   }   
   hint {
       show on
       description "BT Headset"
   }   
}
ctl.btheadset {
  type bluetooth
}  

5. Check to see if it has been added to alsa devices

$ aplay -L

6. Now play with aplay:

$ aplay -D btheadset /path/to/audio/file
  

or Mplayer:

$ mplayer -ao alsa:device=btheadset /path/to/audio/or/video/file

• • • To find hci# for a usb dongle, type in

$ hcitool dev

Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000

1. Scan for your device

$ hcitool (-i <optional hci#>***) scan
Scanning ...
       00:11:22:33:44:55       Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000

2. On second console run as root (do not terminate):

# bluez-simple-agent
Agent registered

3. Back on first console run:

$ bluez-simple-agent hci0 00:11:22:33:44:55
Enter PIN Code: 1234
(now enter that pin on the keyboard and press enter)
Release
New device (/org/bluez/5373/hci0/dev_00_11_22_33_44_55)

4.

$ bluez-test-device trusted 00:11:22:33:44:55

5.

$ bluez-test-input connect 00:11:22:33:44:55

No your keyboard should work. You can terminate bluez-simple-agent on second console with Ctrl-C

Troubleshooting

Segfaults in Bluez 4.95

If bluetoothd stops working after enabling or disabling your bluetooth device via rfkill or gnome-bluetooth applet, look at your dmesg output. If it looks like:

bluetoothd[2330]: segfault at 1 ip 00007fcef2327b75 sp 00007fff9f769cb0 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.2800.8[7fcef22ca000+e9000]

then you should consider downgrading to 4.94 (just grab the PKGBUILD/etc from arch and change version to 4.94 and correct the md5sum for bluez) or wait for an update of bluez. Here is a (arch) bug report about it.

passkey-agent

$> passkey-agent --default 1234
Can't register passkey agent
The name org.bluez was not provided by any .service files

You probably started /etc/rc.d/bluetooth before /etc/rc.d/dbus

$> hciconfig dev
# (no listing)

Try running hciconfig hc0 up

Blueman

If blueman-applet fails to start, try removing the entire /var/lib/bluetooth directory and restarting the machine (or just the hal, dbus, and bluetooth services).

# rm -rf /var/lib/bluetooth
# reboot

gnome-bluetooth

If you see this when trying to enable receiving files in bluetooth-properties:

 Bluetooth OBEX start failed: Invalid path
 Bluetooth FTP start failed: Invalid path

Then run:

 # pacman -S xdg-user-dirs
 $ xdg-user-dirs-update

You can edit the paths using:

 $ vi ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

Bluetooth USB Dongle

If you are using a USB dongle, you should check that your Bluetooth dongle is recognized. You can do that by inspecting /var/log/messages.log when plugging in the USB dongle (or running journalctl -f with systemd). It should look something like the following (look out for hci):

# tail -f /var/log/messages.log
 Feb 20 15:00:24 hostname kernel: [ 2661.349823] usb 4-1: new full-speed USB device number 3 using uhci_hcd
 Feb 20 15:00:24 hostname bluetoothd[4568]: HCI dev 0 registered
 Feb 20 15:00:24 hostname bluetoothd[4568]: Listening for HCI events on hci0
 Feb 20 15:00:25 hostname bluetoothd[4568]: HCI dev 0 up
 Feb 20 15:00:25 hostname bluetoothd[4568]: Adapter /org/bluez/4568/hci0 has been enabled

For a list of supported hardware please refer to the resources section on this page.

If you only get the first two lines, you may see that it found the device but you need to bring it up. Example:

hciconfig -a hci0
hci0:	Type: USB
	BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ACL MTU: 0:0 SCO MTU: 0:0
	DOWN 
	RX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 events:0 errors:0
	TX bytes:0 acl:0 sco:0 commands:0 errors:

	UP RUNNING 
	RX bytes:348 acl:0 sco:0 events:11 errors:0
	TX bytes:38 acl:0 sco:0 commands:11 errors:0

If this fails with an error like:

Operation not possible due to RF-kill

it could be due either to the rfkill utility, in which case it should be resolved with

# rfkill unblock all

or, it could simply be the hardware switch of the computer. The hardware bluetooth switch (at least sometimes) controls access to USB bluetooth dongles also. Flip/press this switch and try bringing the device up again.

To verify that the device was detected you can use hcitool which is part of the bluez-utils. You can get a list of available devices and their identifiers and their MAC address by issuing:

$ hcitool dev
Devices:
        hci0	00:1B:DC:0F:DB:40

More detailed informations about the device can be retrieved by using hciconfig.

Logitech Bluetooth USB Dongle

There are Logitech dongles (ex. Logitech MX5000) that can work in two modes Embedded and HCI. In embedded mode dongle emulates a USB device so it seems to your PC that your using a normal USB mouse/keyoard.

If you hold the little red Button on the USB BT mini-receiver it will enable the other mode. Hold the red button on the BT dongle and plug it into the computer, and after 3-5 seconds of holding the button, the Bluetooth icon will appear in the system tray. Discussion

hcitool scan: Device not found

• On some Dell laptops (e.g. Studio 15) you have to switch the Bluetooth mode from HID to HCI using

# hid2hci

Note: hid2hci is no longer in the $PATH, it is under /lib/udev/hid2hci, but udev should run it automatically for you.

• If the device won't show up and you have a Windows operating system on your machine, try booting it and enable the bluetooth adapter from windows.

• Sometimes also this simple command helps:

# hciconfig hci0 up

My computer isn't visible

Can't discover computer from your phone? Enable PSCAN and ISCAN:

# enable PSCAN and ISCAN
$ hciconfig hci0 piscan 
# check it worked
$ hciconfig

        RX bytes:20425 acl:115 sco:0 events:526 errors:0
        TX bytes:5543 acl:84 sco:0 commands:340 errors:0

Note: Check DiscoverableTimeout and PairableTimeout in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf

Try changing device class in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf as following

# Default device class. Only the major and minor device class bits are
# considered.
#Class = 0x000100 (from default config)
Class = 0x100100

This was the only solution to make my computer visible for my phone.

Nautilus cannot browse files

If nautilus doesn't open and show this error:

Nautilus cannot handle obex: locations. Couldn't display "obex://[XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX]/".

Install gvfs-obexftp package:

# pacman -S gvfs-obexftp

Bluetooth is disabled when starting GNOME

If you have dbus and bluetooth backgrounded (@) in your DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf, it might happen that bluetooth will be disabled when starting up GNOME. To solve this, make sure dbus is not backgrounded.

Sennheiser MM400 Headset connection problems

If your Sennheiser MM400 Headset immediately disconnects after connecting as Headset Service with Blueman, try to connect it as Audio Sink. Afterwards you can change the headset's Audio Profile to Telephony Duplex with a right click in Blueman. With this option headset functionality will be available although the headset was only connected as Audio Sink in first place and no disconnection will happen (tested with bluez 4.96-3, pulseaudio 1.1-1 and blueman 1.23-2).

My device is paired but no sound is played from it

Try to first inspect /var/log/messages.log

# tail /var/log/messages.log
Jan 12 20:08:58 localhost pulseaudio[1584]: [pulseaudio] module-bluetooth-device.c: Service not connected
Jan 12 20:08:58 localhost pulseaudio[1584]: [pulseaudio] module-bluetooth-device.c: Bluetooth audio service not available

If you see such messages, try first:

# pactl load-module module-bluetooth-device

If the module fails to work, do this workaround: Open /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf and add after [General] (on a new line)

Enable=Socket

Then restart the bluetooth daemon with /etc/rc.d/bluetooth restart. Pair again your device, and you should find it in the pulseaudio settings (advanced settings for the sound)

If after fixing this you still can't get sound, try using blueman (this is the only one that works for me), make sure that notify-osd is installed or it might show you weird error messages like this one: "Stream setup failed"

fail (/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blueman/gui/manager/ManagerDeviceMenu.py:134) fail (DBusException(dbus.String(u'Stream setup failed'),),)
