Bluetooth devices fail to re-connect after sleep.

[Peter Nunn]

This exact harware was working faultlessly in 13.04. Since re-installing at 13.10 the mouse consistently failes to reconnect after the device either hybernates or ever goes to screen saver sleep.

I have to remove the dive and re-add it each time (which works well).

There are other issues with the bluetooth stack as well in that I have not found any way to use bluetooth tethering to my mobile which again worked well and was easy to configure in 13.04

Peter.

this bug is still present in Ubuntu 14.04 (Samsung Series 9 NP900X3C laptop)

[JPT (j-p-t)]

I have this problem too with Kubuntu 14.04
Bluez-4.101-ubuntu13

I want to connect to a BT-serial adapter. Always get the error "Unknown command complete for opcode 37" immediately after connection was reported successful by GUI.

I tried three different host BT hardware and two different PCs. always the same.

I believe it won't help if I add any more detail? There are already a lot of logs. If you need more info, please ask.

[Martijn Lievaart (j-launchpad-net-rtij-nl)]

Ubuntu 14.04
bluez: 4.101-0ubuntu13

After suspend resume things one by one hang, and I have no other option than a hard poweroff. Ctrl-Alt-Fn to switch consoles does not work immediately after resume, so debugging is tricky (haven't tried ssh-ing into the box yet).

The workaround above solved it for me.

[Martijn Lievaart (j-launchpad-net-rtij-nl)]

Oops, forgot the most important, this all started when I attache a BT mouse, without the BT mouse there are no problems.

My bluetooth mouse fails to reconnect when ubuntu restarts...

Just returned to ubuntu from a year or more of Windows, so just finding my feet again. I have a microsft mouse an bluetooth dongle, It is showing as paired. However when I restart Ubuntu 14.04 it fails to auto connect and I have to push a small button on the mouse and switch it on in the bluetooth dropdown at the same time

what does it mean that "This bug report was converted into a question: question #260266"

why does it say unassigned? isn't it supposed to be assigned to the bluetooth group?

I am also having this issue. Won't start working unless I shut computer off and on. So frustrating. My version is 5.37-0ubuntu5.1. I'm using 16.04 on a new Dell XPS13.

[Jesper Broge Jørgensen (fnugk)]

I'm having this same problem in ubuntu 17.10 with an apple keyboard.
Disabling and enabling the device in the settings GUI manually fixes the problem until the machine sleeps again

[TJ (tj)]

I began experiencing this recently on 16.04 where it had been working previously: When resuming from suspend both the Bluetooth mouse and keyboard would not reconnect when I began using them.

I eventually traced it to a change I'd made in the GUI - I'd changed the Visibility (Discoverable) setting from "Always" to "Temporarily - 3 minutes".

In this case "systemctl restart bluetooth" service didn't help, but sometimes using "bluetoothctl" and then "power on" and "discoverable yes" would (eventually) kick it into life. Sometimes I'd also need to force a connection to one of the devices from the PC ("devices" then "connect <MAC-ADDRESS>" [ tab-completion works for MAC]) - good job the laptop has a built-in PS/2 keyboard.

[Pavel Francírek (pavel-toplist)]

This happens my Mint too. Bluetooth keyboard is working after resume from suspend but mouse (Logitech M720 Triatlon) is not. bluetoothctl says Connected: yes .. no .. yes .. no
But bluetoothctl: agent off/on helps (no need to use power and pair commands).

[Raj Amal (raj-amalw)]

I am facing similar issue in Kubuntu 18.04. I recently upgraded from 17.10. It was working fine in 17.10. My Bluetooth headset does not connect after suspend.

I reported in KDE, they asked to raise against Bluez.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=393631

My temporary fix is restarting the bluetooth service,

sudo service bluetooth restart

Same issue in Ubuntu 18.04, fresh install on Lenovo e540 notebook, with two different bluetooth mouse

 - Mouse Switch off then on
 - Mouse inactivity (leaving the notebook for 5/10 minutes)
 - Notebook sleep
 - Notebook reboot

The bluetooth mouse can't reconnect. I have to reboot or "systemctl restart bluetooth" and run the pair again.

[seaofgrass (seaofgrass)]

The same problem with Ubuntu 18.04, Teknet BM308, and Lenovo Ideapad 320-15IKB
And sometimes when the mouse is conected it's running very slowly

[ivavis (ivano.visco)]

I found a guide with a manual workaround using the bluetoothctl command

https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2390542

This procedure has to be executed for every bluetooth mouse to pair and trust the device.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

seaofgrass: if the mouse is running slowly then you likely:
  (a) Have a poor bluetooth signal (avoid cheap USB dongles); or
  (b) Have interference from a 2.4GHz wifi network; or
  (c) The system is scanning for new Bluetooth devices in the background.

But you're not alone. We've all seen the laggy Bluetooth mouse problem at some stage.

To fix (b), maybe look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=a2dp-skip

To fix (c), try running 'bluetoothctl' and then type 'scan off'.

[seaofgrass (seaofgrass)]

Thanks!!!

[Svetlozar Argirov (zaro)]

I have Bluettooth Logitec M535 mouse and have the same problem.
It will pair and I can use the mouse. But as soon as I suspend the laptop, or power it off it won't work anymore.
I need to go delete the mouse from the list of paired devices, turn off bluetooth, turn it on again and pair again so or it won't connect at all.

What solved the problem was this suggestions https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2390542 from ivavis. Following the instructions to add the mouse from the bluez console solved the problem.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Some issues have been fixed on Disco so it would be worth trying there. I've backported the upstream_trusted/pair pointer devices changes in a bionic SRU and used bug #1779289 for the update (the bug here seems like it's not only about that though)

[azeam (dennishagg)]

Some regression with mainline kernel 5.9 (during all 5.9 release candidates I've tested as well) - my mouse has to be removed from the previous connections list and re-paired after each time the mouse goes to sleep (waiting a couple of minutes). Working fine with 5.8.x kernels. Ubuntu 20.04, HP travel mouse, Intel AX200 controller (8087:0029) in a Lenovo 14ARE05.

i just had a bug for 20.10 merged into this one. note that in my case, this just started happening since upgrading to 20.10, and it happens with multiple different brands of bluetooth adaptor. as well, if use my keyboard to open the bluetooth settings panel in gnome, then everything immediately reconnects as soon as the settings load, so it doesn't appear to be anything to do with hardware, but instead a bug in terms of what gnome services do when the system resumes.

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

That means the bluetooth controller really wakes up after started a scanning.

Recent BT 4.0 controllers from Intel or Qualcomm shouldn't have this bug.

[Tessa (unit3)]

Well, that's sort of irrelevant for those of us having this problem. I just checked, and mine is a Broadcom BCM20702A0, so not exactly a niche vendor. I'm especially concerned since it seems like it's just not correctly re-scanning for bluetooth devices after waking from sleep due to some sort of software screw up since the 20.10 update, and there's nothing wrong with the controller. For those of us who depend on bluetooth, this is a major regression.

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

If it's a kernel regression, please bisect the kernel:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection

[Tessa (unit3)]

Like I mentioned, the kernel drivers seem fine. It appears to be a userspace software regression, either in bluez or in the gnome components that call bluez. the adaptor seems dead after resuming from sleep, until the gnome bluetooth settings panel is opened. this must call some sort of refresh function, and then everything works fine again. whatever this function is, it must've been called after resume previously in 20.04, and isn't being called now in 20.10, hence the regression.

i don't know anything about bluez or the gnome internals, but i'm happy to provide whatever logs would be helpful in identifying the root cause and getting it fixed, since it's making my current desktop usage a nightmare.

[Alexander List (alexlist)]

I notice similar behaviour on 20.10, Dell XPS 13 7390 2-in-1, Logitech M590
