[Sony WI-C310] [Intel Wireless 8260] Bluetooth headset not autoconnecting on power-on on 22.04

[Alberto Donato]

After moving to Impish, my bluetooth headset doesn't automatically connect when I power it on (it was working fine on hirsute).

When I go to the bluetooth settings, select it and click connect, the first time it disconnects immediately and I see this line in bluetoothd log:

Oct 28 13:57:11 arrakis bluetoothd[1106]: src/profile.c:record_cb() Unable to get Hands-Free Voice gateway SDP record: Host is down

After that, clicking the connect button again makes it work.

I'm not sure where to find info to debug this furhter

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Daniel could you check if that's a regression for any hardware or if it's specific to some configuration?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

This is still on my TODO list but low priority. The reason being this kind of bug has been observed with every release on a variety of hardware. I think it fails in more cases than it succeeds, and has always done so.

If by chance a developer has access to the same specific headset then the problem could be bisected and a specific cause identified.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Given the message in your kernel log:

  Bluetooth: hci0: Ignoring error of Inquiry Cancel command

A similar problem with the same message was a kernel regression:

  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=259954

Maybe not related to this bug, but still a reminder that it might be a kernel regression.

This change was made by a bot.

This still happens on a clean 22.04 install (with 5.15.0-23-generic).

FTR this is still happening on 22.10
