Bluetooth stuck in off

[TsundereBug]

I have checked other threads for this issue, and none of them have solved it.

Like other issues, GNOME says bluetooth is always off no matter what.

Output of dmesg:

[  256.116641] rfkill: input handler disabled
[  262.782367] Bluetooth: hci0: urb 0000000004a09c85 failed to resubmit (113)

[  262.782574] Bluetooth: hci0: urb 000000001903c393 failed to resubmit (113)

Output of sudo hciconfig hci0 up:

Can't init device hci0: Connection timed out (110)

uname -a if it helps:

Linux localhost.localdomain 4.15.0-0.rc6.git2.1.fc28.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jan 5 16:34:16 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Bluetooth works as expected on my Windows partition.

what hardware are you using? https://forums.fedoraforum.org/showt...kmark-it-first

also check for any physical hardware switch if you are posting about a notebook. sometimes they have them for use in flight check-in

My bluetooth isn't a USB dongle, as it came in my desktop.

[bobx001]

did you try running/installing blueberry ?
I found it has solved all my bluetooth issues, mainly random disconnects, or failed to see devices, etc.

[TsundereBug]

Blueberry is for Linux Mint.

Also, the only problem I have with random disconnects is a 2nd controller device in Windows 10.

[leigh123linux]

Blueberry is for Linux Mint.
.

What point are you trying to make?, blueberry is in fedora repos.

[antikythera]

I never mentioned anything about a dongle. your bluetooth device does run off USB bus though

  iProduct                2 Bluetooth Radio 
  iSerial                 3 00e04c000001

It's not a brand I've come across before but the realtek chip it contains is. the only information I can find on it relates to getting it working with Linux Mint and Ubuntu and are fairly outdated. I have Intel Bluetooth in my system which just works with the standard kernel modules. Realtek WLAN and bluetooth devices are always for some reason problematic with Linux.

Sorry, my fault, I couldn't see it last time I tried `sudo dnf install blue` and tab.

I have installed blueberry like this and I have rebooted. Nothing has changed.

[bobx001]

oofff, looks like incompatible hardware.
what happens if you boot up with a knoppix live CD/USB-stick ? can you get it working ?

[TsundereBug]

That sucks, because in Fedora 26 bluetooth worked just fine. I'll test the live CD/USB thing over the weekend

[yoda78]

Watching this thread, as I'm experiencing the same intensely frustrating problem...i have an older Dell One 2330. BT worked perfectly after the initial install of F27 in mid-December. Lately it started exhibiting this exact problem, and I haven't found a solution yet...

[TsundereBug]

This leads me to believe it is a problem with some sort of update, maybe to the kernel or to bluez.

Bus 005 Device 004: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

my Bluetooth dongle here, with blueberry, is working like a charmola.

I will try my laptop's, and post my findings here.
