Bluetooth help ?

Post by bluegroper » 2018/06/17 22:25:07

I'm trying to get some bluetooth working with CentOS, so I can connect sound.
IIRC this used to work nicely in C6.
Now using :

Code: Select all

Distro: CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804
# yum list installed | grep blue

Code: Select all

NetworkManager-bluetooth.x86_64    1:1.10.2-14.el7_5                   @updates 
blueberry.noarch                   1.1.20-6.el7                        @epel    
bluedevil.x86_64                   2.1-1.el7                           @base    
bluez.x86_64                       5.44-4.el7_4                        @updates 
bluez-libs.x86_64                  5.44-4.el7_4                        @updates 
bluez-tools.x86_64                 0.2.0-0.7.git20170912.7cb788c.el7   @epel

pulseaudio-module-bluetooth.x86_64 10.0-5.el7    
2 x usb dongles found by lsusb :

Code: Select all

# lsmod | grep blue

Code: Select all

rfkill                 22391  2 bluetooth
systemctl status bluetooth.service reports

Code: Select all

BUT bluetoothctrl devices reports "No default controller available"
Does this mean there's some missing Logitech / Broadcom firmware driver/s ?
Pleases and thankyous for any tips or clues to get this moving with either dongle.

I'm not a complete idiot. There's still a few pieces missing.
