Comment 62 for bug 1589008

Hi All,

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 17.10
Release: 17.10
Codename: artful

Spent a few hours trying to resolve the issue; I managed to resolve it by doing the following.

ls /etc/ | grep *blue*

if bluetooth folder exists then change IdleTimeout on input.conf to value 0 as seen below:
# Set idle timeout (in minutes) before the connection will
# be disconnect (defaults to 0 for no timeout)
IdleTimeout=0

if bluetooth dir does not exist under /etc then execute:
apt get install tlp

I also disabled TLP (power management) by editing /etc/default/tlp , example of change in file below:

# Set to 0 to disable, 1 to enable TLP.
TLP_ENABLE=0

I restarted both Network-manager and bluetooth by executing:
systemctl restart network-manager bluetooth

I of course am under the opinion that running the these two commands resolved the issue:
sudo apt get install tlp #installed tlp
and editing the tlp conf file under /etc/default/ and turning it off.

Let me know what the issue is a result of; it will be interesting to know root cause or how power management might be affecting bluetooth.
