I am using 5.4.199 currently with bluez 5.64 on an arm 32. The same problem occurs in earlier versions and kernels. In bluetoothctl after the issue occurs the "show" command always says: Discovering: yes And no scan data follows, even though we have many devices. I have tried turning on duplicate data with bluetoothctl. I see (manually typed in): [bluetooth]# scan on SetDiscoveryFilter success [bluetooth]# scan off Failed to stop discovery: org.bluez.Error.InProgress [bluetooth]# scan on Failed to start discovery: org.bluez.Error.InProgress [bluetooth]# scan off Failed to stop discovery: org.bluez.Error.InProgress [bluetooth]# scan on Failed to start discovery: org.bluez.Error.InProgress [bluetooth]# scan off Failed to stop discovery: org.bluez.Error.InProgress Failed to start discovery: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply gatttool can still connect and retrieve data. btmon shows no activty except from gatttool, and none from scan Here is a snippet of debug from bluetoothd: Jun 21 13:33:30 ecc8 daemon.debug bluetoothd[32170]: ../bluez-5.64/src/= agent.c:agent_disconnect() Agent :1.1113 disconnected Jun 21 13:33:30 ecc8 daemon.debug bluetoothd[32170]: ../bluez-5.64/src/= agent.c:remove_default_agent() Default agent cleared Jun 21 13:33:30 ecc8 daemon.debug bluetoothd[32170]: ../bluez-5.64/src/= adapter.c:set_mode() sending set mode command for index 0 Jun 21 13:33:30 ecc8 daemon.debug bluetoothd[32170]: ../bluez-5.64/src/= agent.c:agent_destroy() agent :1.1113 Jun 21 13:33:30 ecc8 daemon.debug bluetoothd[32170]: ../bluez-5.64/src/= agent.c:agent_unref() 0x13285c8: ref=3D0 Jun 21 13:33:30 ecc8 daemon.debug bluetoothd[32170]: ../bluez-5.64/src/= adapter.c:discovery_disconnect() owner :1.1113 Jun 21 13:33:30 ecc8 daemon.debug bluetoothd[32170]: ../bluez-5.64/src/= adapter.c:discovery_remove() owner :1.1113 Jun 21 13:33:30 ecc8 daemon.debug bluetoothd[32170]: ../bluez-5.64/src/= adapter.c:discovery_free() 0x1321050 Jun 21 13:33:30 ecc8 daemon.debug bluetoothd[32170]: ../bluez-5.64/src/= adapter.c:update_discovery_filter() Jun 21 13:33:30 ecc8 daemon.debug bluetoothd[32170]: ../bluez-5.64/src/= adapter.c:discovery_filter_to_mgmt_cp() Jun 21 13:33:30 ecc8 daemon.debug bluetoothd[32170]: ../bluez-5.64/src/= adapter.c:trigger_start_discovery() Jun 21 13:33:30 ecc8 daemon.debug bluetoothd[32170]: ../bluez-5.64/src/= adapter.c:cancel_passive_scanning() Jun 21 13:33:30 ecc8 daemon.debug bluetoothd[32170]: ../bluez-5.64/src/= adapter.c:start_discovery_timeout() Jun 21 13:33:30 ecc8 daemon.debug bluetoothd[32170]: ../bluez-5.64/src/= adapter.c:start_discovery_timeout() adapter->current_discovery_filter Do you have any suggestions for further research into this problem?
