Description Guo Yunhe 2019-08-19 20:52:20 UTC
This bug was originally reported to KDE https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368883

When i start my headset, my bluetooth headset is autoconnect to kde. 
When it finish, the device is not added to output sound device. 

When i diconnect and reconnect manualy, it works :) 



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Pair a bluetooth headet and configure it as auto connect
2. Auto connect the headset.
3. If not recognized, disconect and reconnect the headset manually.

Expected Results:  

Audio device should be recognized automatically

Actual Results:  

Audio device is not recognized. But when manually connect to it, it can be recognized as audio device by PulseAudio.

System logs:

bluetoothd[1896]: Unable to get io data for Headset Voice gateway: getpeername: Transport endpoint is not connected (107)
dbus-daemon[953]: [system] Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_return", sender=":1.37" (uid=1000 pid=2239 comm="/usr/bin/pulseaudio --daemonize=no ") interface="(unset)" member="(unset)" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.11" (uid=0 pid=1896 comm="/usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd ")

I guess the cause might be: when the bluetooth signal appears, Bluez immediately connect to it and try to exchange data with it. But the headset is still booting and not ready for answering any request. And Bluez failed without retrying. Maybe it should keep trying every 3 seconds, maximum 5 times (15 seconds).

Could you please compile and run bluetoothd daemon from git master branch https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/ ?

"Unable to get io data" is wrong error message and real one was removed by bluetoothd daemon. So from log we do not know what happen.

Reporting of this incorrect message was fixed just few days ago in git master branch, so compiling and testing new bluetoothd daemon from git is needed.

Can you provide relevant commit(s) in master branch? I'm facing similar looking issue but can not upgrade the BlueZ. I could however try by patching the current version if pointed to correct commit(s).

b0ebdd778b06a71c1cbc2fcf30d7fe5842e749fb I guess?
Is this still a thing?

I'm having this same problem in bluez 5.62, which contains the commit to provide more updated logging information. However, the original error message is appearing, which I guess implies that this is an io error and not a regular error.

Here are my bluetooth logs:

I've discovered that setting the headphones as trusted fixes the issue and it auto-connects properly
