Hi,
i want to use the last Antix version. i have boot with a live usb Stick.sadly i can not connect with my bluetooth dongel to my bluetooth headset.
i boot for few minutest with Emmabuntüs Version 4 Live USB Stick. The Bluetooth connection works immediately. A photo is attached. Everything is perfect. The music plays immediately via Bluetooth headphones without any problems.
Everything is the same. Same notebook, headphones, Bluetooth dongle. Everything is the same. Only that it does not work on Antix.
Error Report is also in the attachment.

::Here the translation of the error report.
Connection to Bluez failed
blueman-manager cannot continue because the Bluez service is not active.
This probably means that no Bluetooth adapters were detected or the Bluetooth service was not started.October 3, 2023 at 11:37 am #118628Moderatorcaprea
::You can help us helping you by posting the output of
inxi -FxzSo we can see which version of antiX, full or base, runit or sysvinit, you have installed .
The bluetooth service needs to be enabled. Please go to the control-centre > system > choose startup-services
and enable the service.We can describe details if we know which version is installed.
You mightalso have to enable it in connman (under Status tab)

::Hi the bluetooth service is enabled on connman.
On connman, you see the bluetooth “technology” enabled, but this doesn’t enable the service.
On live-USB, antiX defaults to disabling many services for a faster boot. I assume this helps booting for older and slower systems.
That is why caprea said:The bluetooth service needs to be enabled. Please go to the control-centre > system > choose startup-services
<—– IGNORE FOR RUNIT EDITION —->
If the choose startup services console app seems too complicated, you can also manually enable the bluetooth service with
sudo service bluetooth start
and add it to automatically start with
sudo update-rc.d bluetooth defaults
And then bluez should work.
<—– IGNORE FOR RUNIT EDITION —->If I am not mistaken, the bluetooth service is disabled by the “disable” boot parameter (not only bluetooth, but a few other services too). This only applies to live-USB. We can deal with this issue later once you can get bluetooth working.

::Please also enable it in control-centre > system > choose startup-services
Bluetooth needs to be added to the services by the “add” button
On an installed system this changes would stick but on live not.Or try the way abc-nix suggested.

::A couple of years ago I tested the bluetooth dongle my brother gave me in antiX. I did not work.
I tested it again, after reading this thread.- I’m not posting details because, for now, I do not want to waste more time on this problem, but it still fails to work after the recommended steps. I’m using antiX 23 full, sysv, 64bits, kernel 6.1, so:
– I enabled BT via the terminal as shown above
– I enabled bluetooth on connman (it’s “green” reported as powered on, but reported as not connected, on the 4th column)
– On the terminal, running “service bluetooth status” reports that “bluetooth is running”.
– running “blueman-applet” puts the BT applet on the system tray, like in any modern OS
– When I right click the applet, it shows Bluetooth is on. so I set it to always visible… so far so good…
– BUT, when I try to connect to my android phone and then to my bt earbuds, nothing is detected (not even some nearby device my phone picks up). my android phone also does not pick up my computer as a BT device…So, the bluetooth dongle seems to be detected, but fails to work… At least this was my experience up to here.

::As I said, a few hours ago I booted up Debian version 4 with Emmabuntüs using a USB iso live stick.
Everything worked there. Dongle was able to connect to headset immediately without any problems. This is not a hardware problem.October 3, 2023 at 4:14 pm #118654MemberPPC
::Everything worked there.
You already explaind that BT works on a different OS, so it’s cleary a problem with antiX. Please wait while folks here try to figure out what the problem may be and help you out.
Unfortunatly, for me, BT was the only thing I never ever was able to get to work on antiX. As far as I checked today, antiX even comes, out of the box with “firmware-realtek” package, that was reported over the internet to be something that Debian 12 required to connect to (at least some) BT devices… There’s probably a small detail missing, in antiX (let’s hope it’s not a big problem, like something Kernel related, etc).
Have patience, antiX is a tiny team, not a huge Company, like the one that created Ubuntu…October 3, 2023 at 4:19 pm #118656Forum Adminanticapitalista
::Emmabuntüs Version 4 is based on Debian 11 while antiX-23 is based on Debian 12 so it is not the same.
Did you use the 32bit version of Emmabuntüs Version 4?Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

::Not sure about antiX 32 bits, but bluetooth does work with same kernel in 64 bits. This is also from live-usb with no changes nor updates.
I understand your processor is 32-bits only, and mine is 64, so really not comparable. I just wanted to post to give contrast that bluetooth can work on antiX 23.

::i have use the 32 Bit Version of Emmabuntüs. I use only 32 Bit because my notebook is old. i am using Antix 32 Bit also.

::In terminal, check to see if bluetoothctl (the terminal interface for bluetooth) can detect and scan for devices.
To list controller devices:
bluetoothctl list
If no devices are listed, then bluez is not working properly.To scan for other devices:
bluetoothctl scan on
You can exit scanning with Control+CIf no devices are detected, then scanning isn’t working.
I don’t have much experience with bluetoothctl, so this is as far as I can go. At least scanning should also add devices to bluez Manager to be selected.
