I’m going to run the antiX 23 image again and see if Bluetooth actually works for me “this time”.

Thanks for noting this.

Unfortunately on my Dell Inspiron 5558 laptop, when I ran live, I was able to use either kernel, but when I installed, I wasn’t able to run the 5.10.142 kernel; same issue as I had on this system with antiX 21/22 – 5.10.142 stops at /dev – when attempting to load the Intelfb; might be a workaround, but I’m not familiar with it.

The 4.19 kernel is the only boot kernel that works and it doesn’t find Bluetooth.

Running live, neither kernels found Bluetooth on this hardware.

I’m going to install a more recent kernel and see if I have any better success.

Hi anticapitalista,

The Pipewire updates in Sid are a fact of life, so I just keep the involved packages blocked and unblock them only to install a new nosystemd version (pipewire, libpipewire, libspa, gstreamer-pipewire, wireplumber).

As caprea said, Pipewire works fine on the full alpha without either systemd OR the script I need in my minimalistic Sid install.

Bluetooth requires the service to be activated (Services menu in the System menu in Control-centre), needs specific packages (libspa-bluetooth and (?) Pipewire-audio) and needs the bluetooth manager to detect, trust and pair with the headset. (In my case, my old headphones connect promptly to an iPad, but are not detected by antiX’s bluetooth manager search.) Haven’t used Bluetooth on Linux for a long while, was hard to get working when last tried on antiX. Don’t remember the details, sorry.

From my limited needs, Pipewire runs fine on alpha. N.B. I haven’t installed the audio-client-libraries package on either system since it is listed as transitional and not needed IIRC. I also have not used Pipewire-Jack or the VLC Pipewire plug-in since VLC works fine without it.

Before running Bluetooth, check rfkill. On my live alpha session, Bluetooth was soft blocked by default.

That summarizes my experience.

Thanks again @caprea for detals (as well as thanks to dolphin_oracle, stevesr0 and anticapitalista for additional thoughts).
Starting with new baseline production system (antiX SID Full/Bookworm SID), which looks like equivalent to antiX 23 alpha, except my baseline system does not include libelogind0.
Problem seems to be that installing pipewire components appears to entail installation of libelogind0, and this is what I am trying to avoid. Installing pipewire components first and then removing libelogind0 does not seem to work too well. My system is completely *elogind*-free, consistent, and I want to keep this way.
Is there a solution to install minimum pipewire components and not let libelogind0 slip in?

I don’t see where/how to trust and pair with blueman. Is that run by a terminal command? (I haven’t played with bluetooth in a long while and my headset is old.)

P.S. first experience with the service manager tool – nice!

P.P.S. back after dinner.

Like I said above, with a great deal of effort, I’ve occasionally had success with Bluetooth, but the overall experience was so frustrating that it’s easier for me to either plug in a device or if I have to use Bluetooth, use my phone or my Chromebook, which work.

But frankly, even there, both of them have that serial plug too and I’ve found the physical connection to be more consistently reliable than Bluetooth even when it is working.

I have the bluez package installed. I’m running antiX 21/22 right now, and while on one hand, the Bluetooth service IS running, the unfortunate reality for me is that the Bluetooth devices I have seldom work with antiX or any Debian-based system on a consistent basis. Fortunately a couple of the devices I actually use also have either USB, a skinny round audio serial plug, or both, and these DO work to provide audio – on antiX, provided the browser is also running apulse. If it isn’t, I simply restart a browser command or script with apulse, which I happen to have on my personal IceWM toolbar for the browsers I most commonly use.

I tried one of them without apulse and it did not produce sound; I ran the image from my toolbar with apulse and my plugged in device WAS able to receive sound, so that’s my workaround. My alternative workaround for actually using Bluetooth is to run a non-Debian system; they often have better results. However, both a pair of earbuds and a headset DO have a serial plug available, so I get my sound. I also have some systems that don’t have very good speakers or no speakers, but my ear based alternatives are pretty decent, so I’m OK here.

Another option is to build a bluez environment from source code. Be careful here, too, because the very newest bluez source code is too new to work with the stable antiX release, though it MAY work with our final antiX 23 release. It’s something to consider for anyone wanting the certainty of Bluetooth capability.

I mentioned that “the Bluetooth service IS running”. By that, I mean that runsv Bluetooth is running – at the moment it happens to be process 1906; the Connman daemon happens to be process 1905, so our distribution does appear to start the service correctly. The larger problem is that Debian based systems have some of the worst Bluetooth configurations, so unless we as a team or we as individuals build the Bluetooth infrastructure from standard Bluetooth sources instead of utilizing upstream components, we may not end up with an adequately consistent service. I base those comments both on my personal experiences over the past three years and my repeated investigations. I have managed to get things working a few times, only to have them inexplicably break all over again the next time I try them, so since in my case I have other options, plus other things to do, I’ve pretty much given up on laptop Bluetooth. If I really want it or need it I resort to my phone or my Chromebook, both of which handle the Bluetooth service fine.

So for those who want to conquer Bluetooth, those are my experiences; I hope yours have been more successful than mine!

You probably need to use runit-service-manager to start bluetooth as well.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

[Moderator caprea]

@olsztyn, on antiX full there is already everything installed you need for bluetooth in general.
For pipewire install

pipewire 
wireplumber 
gstreamer1.0-pipewire 
libspa-0.2-bluetooth 
pavucontrol
pipewire-pulse

In startup file I have

#start pipewire
pipewire &

#start wireplumber
sleep 3 && wireplumber &

#start pipewire-pulse
sleep 4 && pipewire-pulse &

## Puts a volume icon on the taskbar
sleep 5 && volumeicon &

You can use blueman for connection, you can use pavucontrol for settings.In summary, pipewire works well here, but is not yet very well tested in general.So time will tell us.

Edit: Stevesr0, did you do the trust and pair with blueman? If this is done ones it should connect automatically.
Edit2:Stevesr0,you are right, the pipewire-audio-client-libraries are not needed. Deleted them from the above text.

Hi dolphin_oracle and caprea,

I had libspa-0.2-bluetooth installed, along with the other bluetooth packages and the pipewire-audio package which I read was needed, but pavucontrol doesn’t add my bluetooth headphones automagically to the output devices.

I had read that pairing with bluetooth devices by the new version of Pipewire was prompt and automagic.

What did you do to get bluetooth paired with Pipewire?

stevesr0

[Forum Admin dolphin_oracle]

libspa-0.2-bluetooth for pipewire bluetooth.

[Member stevesr0]

To caprea,

I am a very a dull permanent noobie indeed. I “ASS”umed that what I needed to make Pipewire work on my cobbled together minimistic Sid install would be required by this full alpha engineered by anticapitalista!

Once I read your message,

I went back to the directions by Xecure (following the Debian wiki) and reproduced that in my /home/demo/.desktop-sessions/startup file. (Including a “sleep 2” time after pipewire before wireplumber. Then pipewire-pulse. I threw in an lxterminal without a following & to avoid the session closing if pipewire closed. (This is all written up in the threads “Pipewire for antix 21” and “Pipewire without systemdd”.) Then I ran the .desktop-session/startup from the terminal and voila, pipewire and pavucontrol worked.

After an apt update and full-upgrade, all the needed pipewire, libpipewire, libspa, wireplumber, and gstreamer packages were available for installation.

Specifically, this is running after I removed libelogind0.

So, Thank you much caprea.

————————————————————————————

To olsztyn,

I haven’t used pipewire bluetooth. I just looked and saw that pipewire-audio is the package that supports bluetooth. Supposed to work automagically via wireplumber. I just installed it but it didn’t automatically work. sorry. Here is a link to a page on Bluetooth configuration for Pipewire: https://pipewire.pages.freedesktop.org/wireplumber/configuration/bluetooth.html It is beyond my “paygrade” <g>.
