From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Mint - Bluetooth Issues (lemmy.world)

Hello,

I am not able to figure out whatever bluetooth issues I am having. None of my devices stay connected and will never reconnect once disconnected. I have a pair of WH-XM4 and they will not stay connected. Here is what I tried so far:

Reinstall BlueZ

Check for blocking with rfkill

Restart Bluetooth, but I just get this error "Bluez Daemon is not running, blueman-manager cannot continue"

I'm at my wits end. Please help.

Mint has been the most particular distro for bluetooth for me. I noticed there is a difference between "connecting" and "pairing". I have to "pair" the first time my device is connected and then "connect" every subsequent time. If I pair the device to another computer I have to re-pair on Mint.
