Hi, after upgrading to kernel 5.1.1 (and also 5.1.2) my bluetooth speakers are unable to auto-reconnect. I can connect them without problems, but once I turn them off and on again an unending sequence of connections and disconnections begins: ---- manual connection ok --------- [bluetooth]# connect E0:D1:E6:07:62:E1 Attempting to connect to E0:D1:E6:07:62:E1 [CHG] Device E0:D1:E6:07:62:E1 Connected: yes Connection successful [CHG] Device E0:D1:E6:07:62:E1 ServicesResolved: yes ---- turned off speakers and on again ---- [CHG] Device E0:D1:E6:07:62:E1 ServicesResolved: no [CHG] Device E0:D1:E6:07:62:E1 Connected: no [CHG] Device E0:D1:E6:07:62:E1 Connected: yes [CHG] Device E0:D1:E6:07:62:E1 Connected: no [CHG] Device E0:D1:E6:07:62:E1 Connected: yes [CHG] Device E0:D1:E6:07:62:E1 Connected: no [CHG] Device E0:D1:E6:07:62:E1 Connected: yes [CHG] Device E0:D1:E6:07:62:E1 Connected: no [CHG] Device E0:D1:E6:07:62:E1 Connected: yes [CHG] Device E0:D1:E6:07:62:E1 Connected: no I've tested this with a number of kernels: linux-lts 4.19.43: doesn't work linux 5.0.13: works linux 5.1: works linux 5.1.1: doesn't work linux 5.1.2: doesn't work All the above tests were done against bluez 5.50. I've also tested bluez git master against linux 5.1.2 to no avail. During failed attempts to auto-reconnect, the debug log shows: May 17 02:25:27 carlos bluetoothd[8178]: src/adapter.c:connected_callback() hci0 device E0:D1:E6:07:62:E1 connected eir_len 5 May 17 02:25:27 carlos bluetoothd[8178]: src/adapter.c:dev_disconnected() Device E0:D1:E6:07:62:E1 disconnected, reason 3 May 17 02:25:27 carlos bluetoothd[8178]: src/adapter.c:adapter_remove_connection() May 17 02:25:27 carlos bluetoothd[8178]: plugins/policy.c:disconnect_cb() reason 3 May 17 02:25:27 carlos bluetoothd[8178]: src/adapter.c:bonding_attempt_complete() hci0 bdaddr E0:D1:E6:07:62:E1 type 0 status 0xe May 17 02:25:27 carlos bluetoothd[8178]: src/device.c:device_bonding_complete() bonding (nil) status 0x0e May 17 02:25:27 carlos bluetoothd[8178]: src/device.c:device_bonding_failed() status 14 Some other info that may be relevant: > uname -a Linux carlos 5.1.1-arch1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat May 11 13:02:48 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux > yay -Qi pulseaudio Version : 12.2-2 If you need something else to track down this issue, please let me know.
