Raspberry Pi / Re: bluetooth startup script

« Last post by Juanito on August 16, 2026, 12:09:24 PM »

If you load the blueman extension it will install the required extensions.

If you are using the onboard bluetooth you will then need to run the bluetooth initialization script (the two code blocks in the first post).

If all that works (I tested it a couple of days ago) you can start blueman and search for devices to pair with.

Hi guys!

I must have been half asleep when I wrote the other post. (bittorrent???) Well what I wanted to know is what packages to install specifically to use bluetooth. I would appreciate it a lot if someone could tell me that.

Kind greetings,

Life is a bit hectic at the moment, but I am still around. Once things calm down a little, I'll be more active in the IRC channel again, because I'm a lot better at helping people in there than I am at maintaining extensions. I basically just wanted to say that I appreciate you asking me, and that I'm glad someone is maintaining it.

I had it most of it in the info file, but a separate file would work too.

Not exactly sure what they use.   But last I checked that script was included in their packaging

In fact if I disable networkmanager in blueman prior to starting bluetooth with the full script things appear to work

Don't know how useful this is.

It's definitely interesting...

@Paul_123 - I take it that the Raspberry OS is not (yet) using bluetoothctl/btmgmt instead of hciconfig/hcitool to initialise the onboard bluetooth interface?

As mentioned, I could try to disable the networkmanager plugins in blueman by default, but I seem to remember that having done so, blueman still didn't work as expected.

I could also build a networkmanger extension, but for things to work properly a user would have to bring the network up with networkmanager rather than udpcpc.

As an aside, it might be a good idea to include the bluetooth initialisation script with the bluez extension, but not call it with the startup script?

For those still interested,
As I said, I gave up on finding the linux error.
With that said, as the kernel stalls, I definitely consider this a linux error.
If the application does something naughty it would be normal that the application would crash. The OS however should not.

On application side, I made things more robust.
I close and re-open the serial connection if the data package is not read in N attempts.
I close and re-open the serial connection after each successful data package in stead of listening for ever.
I close and re-open the serial connection if I read unexpected characters.

no idea whether it helps. I guess I will have to wait multiple month.
