So I have antiX-17 installed on a Dell Latitude D430 (64-bit, 1.333ghz, 2gb RAM, for those interested). I’ve installed “blueman” from the antiX “Package Installer”, and reinstalled with Synaptic, but it still isn’t working quite right.
Here’s the problem:
Sometimes blueman works properly, pairing, connecting, and transferring files to all my devices. Sometimes blueman lists my paired devices, but freezes when attempting to transfer files (the program is still responding, and I can close it without “AppKiller”; it just isn’t sending any files). Sometimes blueman does not list ANY of my paired devices, and acts as if my internal bluetooth chip is non-existent.
Usually, the program runs fine when I start up my computer fresh. Then, after it’s been running for some time, or has been suspended once or twice, the above problem occurs. I have had mixed success when disabling bluetooth, then exiting blueman, then restarting blueman and re-enabling bluetooth. However, it is not uncommon for me to have to reboot the entire system in order to regain functionality.
I have also noticed this problem in MX Linux, but not in Sparky Linux, or Ubuntu-based Linux distros. My wireless device is “Dell Computer Corp. Wireless 360 Bluetooth”. I suspect a driver issue, but I am not sure.
If anyone else has any ideas or is experiencing a similar problem, feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Post a
inxi -Fxxreport and start blueman from terminal and look for any error messages when it fails on you. Also when it fails.
dmesg | tailmight spit out something useful also. Only thing I use bluetooth for is my external bluetooth skull candy speaker. It requires me to install pulse audio to pair with it.
Sometimes I drive a crooked road to get my mind straight.

I had a fully up-to-date system running on this same hardware setup earlier this February with the same problem, so I doubt that the issue is in the kernel. I will post the results of “dmesg | tail” when I get a chance.
Thank you for your interest in my machine’s issue, and for the great work you all put into this excellent operating system.- This reply was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by rokytnji.
Managed to recreate the bug.
Started blueman-applet from terminal, clicked “Send file to device”, selected a .jpg image, and tried to send it, but it froze up.I’ve included a screenshot of the blueman window. Usually, the blue progress bar at the bottom fills all the way up and then disappears, however in my case, it fills all the way and then freezes. The window is still responding, and I can still select my device and click “OK”, but then a “Bluetooth Transfer” window pops up and forever shows the progress at 0%. My phone never indicates an attempted connection.
As I said before, rebooting the machine temporarily solves this problem, so I have concluded that the issue is not with my phone.
