Thanks, I made the changes and I will test again today.

I don’t know what is STILL wrong. I did
sudo apt purge policykit-1
and then

wget https://download.tuxfamily.org/antix/Testing/blueman_2.1.4-1.0antix1_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./blueman_2.1.4-1.0antix1_amd64.deb

and I confirm that
$ `apt policy blueman
blueman:
Installed: 2.1.4-1.0antix1
Candidate: 2.1.4-1.0antix1
Version table:
*** 2.1.4-1.0antix1 100
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status`

although I also see:

     2.1.4-1+b1 500
        500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian bullseye/main amd64 Packages
     2.0.8-1.antix1 500
        500 http://mirrors.rit.edu/mxlinux/mx-packages/antix/testing testing/main amd64 Packages

Could that be what is causing me problems? I STILL see
“Connection Failed, Protocol not available”

dmesg shows a few Bluetooth messages, but I did not see any obvious error indications.

I’m going to check another system that I previously thought was working and see if it is still working on this hardware.
If it is, I have something set up wrong on this system. If the other system doesn’t work anymore, I may have another issue.
I’ll follow up when I have more diagnostic details available.

Since I have already tested blueman on 17.4.1 version, I could check your new version also. On 17.4.1 the cellphone paired and connected without any problems, but when it came to transfer files there was no way to make this work. I had to use an old Win2000 in Virtualbox in order to transfer files finally. So it would be interesting to find out whether your new version will do the job.
So my question is: Will this version of yours work on 17er antiX also, or do I have to create an 19er stick for this testing?
If 19 is necessery, I’ll have to check whether graphics driver is fixed for this nvidia go 6600 card, before I can proceed to bluetooth tests therein.
Greetings and best wishes for the New Year

Best wishes to you too, Robin.
This thread is related to the future antiX21, that is being tested in its alpha1 version here: https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/antix-bullseye-a1-x64-bullseye-full-available/
I doubt it will work on antiX 19 and even less on antiX 17.

You need pulseaudio and pulseaudio-module-bluetooth for a bluetooth headset to work, as indicated by other threads (that is why it worked on MX, which does, as far as I know, use pulseaudio).

Off-topic: A bluez-alsa .deb package would make it possible to stream audio to the headphones using alsa + bluetooth without pulseaudio. I was trying to use the raspberry pie build as reference to build a .deb for antiX, but that requires systemd, so I will continue investigating (didn’t have much time to experiment) on the weekend and possibly come with something that does not require pulseaudio. But this is not related to this thread.

Is there a 32bit version of antiX21 available? I could put it to an usb-stick for testing. Otherwise I’ll have to step back, since I don’t have access to any 64bit machines.

Don’t worry. Right now is for general ISO feedback. During the beta period there usually is a 32 and 64 bit ISO, so you will have your chance then.

OK, I only thought of helping in test of bluetooth as asked here. But never mind, I’ll wait for things to happen 🙂

I womder if there has been a Debian-wide regression? It is not working any more on MX Linux and I was pretty sure it was working.
So I went to Debian and found the same thing.
Then I went to EndeavorOS, where it was not set up, so I exhaustively went through the steps and I think I just got it going; will test.
If so, it’s not hardware, it’s Debian infrastructure software. I’ll let you know once I have finished this effort.
I think I am getting somewhere on this at last…

Yes, I got it working on Endeavor OS, so now I will go back and see why it is or wasn’t working elsewhere. My headset is working, it’s working with my phone, my Chromebook, and now on the same hardware with Endeavor OS, so I will look into what else could be wrong.

In spite of getting Bluetooth to work and to achieve listening with my Soundcore Life Q10 headset on Endeavor OS, the same hardware where I’ve been running MX Linux, antiX 19.3, antiX Alpha Bullseye and Debian Bullseye Alpha 3, only Endeavor OS is working, suggesting something is wrong with the entire set of packages available with Debian-based systems (sample size 4) yet working with another OS on the same hardware.

Has anyone seen anything else? Any other thoughts on what has caused this apparent regression?

I’m giving up for today but I will come back to this. It sure looks like a software problem since I have three different systems and two different Bluetooth devices that can communicate, and I’ve been able to get one of my operating systems on the problem system to work.

If you have any ideas or see any clear issues, let me know and I’ll try again soon.

Some of the feedback was split to: https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/split-bluetooth-testing/

If your post is missing and you didn’t know where it went, it is there now.
