Bluetooth менеджер linux mint

Great bluetooth app but with a generic bluetooth mouse, the connection is sluggish and i need toclick to make the cursor move (it moves after 3 seconds). The bluetooth mouse was connected when the error happend. The app works great with my Razor mouse.

now bundeled with with Mint21. It takes a lot of random trial and error to get anything connected, very frustrating, usually works in the end, average connect time is 30 minutes of messing around.

I had issues connecting my Bose 700 to the BT, looking online for an answer I found this software and it’s so much better then the built-in LM/LMDE one, so so much!

I was having problems connecting my mouse, this program fixed it. Work quite nicely.

A very useful program, it works without any problems. Many thanks to the developer!

Excellent! Meilleur que celui d’origine qui est plus esthetique qu’efficace :p

Its the bluetooth manager for humans,

i had problem with bad music interpretation via BT audio receiver with preinstalled bluetooth manager, but now its OK 🙂

I had endless issues with Blueberry and eventually found out about Blueman. I installed the PulseAudio bluetooth module and everything works like a charm.

I could pair various head sets. Mpow flame and two other Chinese Bluetooth headsets. It worked well for hours and many times. My Cambridge Silicon Radio — CSR V4.0 dongle came with only Windows Drivers so I was glad to find that Linux had packages that supported it. At one point my headset would not receive sound properly, I could not switch between A2DP and another audio type for the headset. I either dropped connection or played the sound out of phase and distorted reminiscent of the Jazz in Planet of the Apes. I hunted around looking for information on it but could not find a one-stop solution explaining how this software works with the dongle. Some discussion on killing multiple processes but I’m not sure what happened. My phone handles all these headsets automatically so connecting to Linux is a comparatively elaborate process. After giving up for a day I plugged in for a fresh start and managed to get one headset up and running. My conclusion is that Linux Mint does a very good job and that the sound is usually very clear and good considering the low cost of the equipment I used but there is an opportunity somehow for more people to get involved and educate the rest of us on what makes all this magic happen or how to use the tools to troubleshoot and fix connection issues..

So far seems good. Would like a tad more info about what some of icons & graphics are actually referring to.

Absolutely brilliant . connects instantly, and to be honest, works far better than it did when the computer ran on Windows 7 with the standard software,

Had trouble with the default bluetooth manager in KDE 18, devices would be paired but failt to connect/setup as the wrong device type was auto-assigned and no option is proveded to change that, in Blueman you assign device type during the initial pairing operation which avoids the issue. The interface is rather clunky and takes a while to work out how to use it, also removing devices often fails!! But overall it works, so well done.

Bluean is great! I removed blueberry because it did not work at all, installed blueman in stead. blueman worked on first attempt! Great!

just installed Linux Mint 19, worked right away with my CSR 4.0 dongle plugged in

yea the only one bluetooth tool that works 4 me (Linux Mint17.3)

Doesn’t exist in package manager anymore. Doesn’t pair with headphones.

Will NOT pair with phone! The Battle is lost.

lol as ryannerd said.. finally works per knielson’s suggestion. add new ppa: cschramm/blueman

Bluetooth¶

Bluetooth can be disabled by using a software kill switch.

On some laptops, a hardware kill switch is also provided either via a special function key or key combination or a dedicated physical button or mechanism.

Using the rfkill command, you can see the state of these switches.

The output lists the state of software and hardware kill switches for all your wireless devices:

In the picture above you can see that Bluetooth is neither Soft blocked nor Hard blocked and is therefore enabled.

You can use rfkill to block (i.e. disable) or unblock (i.e. enable) bluetooth:

rfkill block bluetooth rfkill unblock bluetooth

Blueman¶

Blueman is the default Bluetooth Manager in Linux Mint.

It provides the little Bluetooth icon in your system tray.

To disable Bluetooth right-click the tray icon and select Turn Bluetooth Off .

To enable Bluetooth right-click the tray icon and select Turn Bluetooth On .

The very first time you open Blueman it asks if Bluetooth should be enabled automatically.

To check whether this feature is enabled open a terminal and type:

gsettings get org.blueman.plugins.powermanager auto-power-on

It auto-power-on is set to true , Blueman automatically unblocks Bluetooth at startup.

If you want to persistently disable Bluetooth you need to set auto-power-on to false :

gsettings set org.blueman.plugins.powermanager auto-power-on false

The auto-power-on option was recently removed in Blueman’s master branch. It’s still present in Blueman 2.3.2 but it’s likely to disappear in newer versions.

Systemd-rfkill¶

Systemd provides a service which saves the state of your kill switches during shutdown and restores them on the next boot.

This service is a core part of systemd and is installed in Linux Mint by default.

Blueman runs after systemd-rfkill, so if Blueman’s auto-power-on setting is enabled it overrides systemd-rfkill.

Bluez¶

Bluez is the Bluetooth stack used by Blueman.

Bluez has a setting called AutoEnable in the file /etc/bluetooth/main.conf .

If you don’t want Bluez to automatically enable Bluetooth during boot set this option to false.

How to install Blueman on Linux Mint or Ubuntu 20.04

Blueman is an alternative Bluetooth manager to system default that relies on GTK and can be expanded using plugins. In addition to “normal” data transmission (sending / receiving/searching) using OBEX, Blueman also features “Dial-up Networking” (DUN) or Personal Area Networking (PAN). Furthermore, Blueman can be used as an interface for input and output devices such as a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse, or headset.
