RT3290 Ralink driver in Ubuntu 18.04

Step 1: Download the Ralink rt3290 bluetooth Driver Package Now the first step is to download the ralink rt3290 bluetooth Linux driver (rtbth-dkms) package. Download this driver file from below link:

Please Note: The current deb package of Ralink rt3290 bluetooth is only available for x64 based distribution for 32bit distors you need to manually compile the bluetooth package for more please follow this link.

Step 2: Install Ralink rt3290 bluetooth Driver After you have downloaded driver file, the next step is to install the driver package, Although you can install driver package via command line but we recommend Gdebi as it can install any debian package within seconds. If you don’t have Gdebi installer then please install it via Software center or just open terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T and type the below code:

sudo apt-get install Gdebi

Press Enter and when the installation succeed, Open the rtbth-dkms.deb file via Gdebi install and install the package.

Step 4: Auto-Load Ralink rt3290 (rtbth) module at startup Now, the final step is to auto load the rtbth module at startup which prevents you from activating module at every boot. For that you need to add the module in modules.conf file.

All you have to do is to find Kernel module file and its Located in /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf

You can manually Browse this file in Nautilus or any other file manager. All you have to do is to run File Manager in Terminal by typing the command:

sudo gedit /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf

It will open the notepad file of modules.conf and after that enter rtbth at end of file.

Just click on save and restart your PC and see if the modules load automatically.

Bluetooth not working on Asus SonicMaster laptop with RT-3290 Ralink driver running Ubuntu 16.04

I cannot seem to get the bluetooth hardware to work with Ubuntu. I can get a USB dongle working, but I’m sure the laptop has internal bluetooth hardware. Update: I have halfway succeeded in getting the bluetooth to work by doing step 12 in the list directly below. I actually did this on Lubuntu 16.04, but will test it with Ubuntu 16.04 as well. I successully paired a bluetooth mouse, and am able to use it. However, it is laggy, but not to the point of being unusable. I am also able to send and receive files to my LG G4 via bluetooth. I am, however, not able to pair to bluetooth speakers. I tried pairing to two speakers of different brands, and it appears to connect briefly for a second and then disconnects. Update: I have also just gotten the bluetooth speakers to work on Lubuntu 16.04 by doing step 13 directly below. I also was able to get it working on a freshly installed Ubuntu 16.04. I posted the steps to do it as an answer below. What I have tried: 1) Okay, so I have the Blueman Bluetooth Manager/BlueZ installed. 2) I know the bluetooth programs are functional because I can plug in a bluetooth usb dongle and eveything works how it should with the dongle. I am able to connect bluetooth devices with the dongle. 3) I also know that the laptop itself has bluetooth hardware apart from the dongle I plugged in, because I can unplug the dongle and boot into Windows 10, and bluetooth functions on the Windows 10 OS. 4) I left bluetooth enabled on Windows as well. 5) There are no hard buttons (that I can find) on my laptop to enable or disable bluetooth. 6) In UEFI, bluetooth is enabled. 7) In UEFI, Secure Boot is disabled. 8) I have tried $ rfkill unblock bluetooth from this post to no avail. 9) I have also tried $ sudo hciconfig hci0 reset which sadly didn’t work and gives the output «Can’t get device info: No such device» 10) I have also tried $ sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/bluetoothd and sudo service bluetooth restart from this post. 11) I have tried reinstalling software as suggested in this post:

$ sudo apt-get install bluetooth blueman bluez-hcidump bluewho python-bluez bluez-tools 

1. mkdir ~/tmp
2. cd ~/tmp
3. git clone https://github.com/alinefr/rtbth.git
4. cd rtbth
5. make
6. sudo make install
7. sudo mkdir /usr/src/rtbth-3.9.3
8. sudo cp -r ~/tmp/rtbth/* /usr/src/rtbth-3.9.3
9. sudo dkms install rtbth/3.9.3
10. sudo nano /etc/modules
11. Add rtbth to the end of the file, press ctrl + o then enter to save the file, and then press ctrl + x to exit.
12. Reboot

13) I was able to successfully pair and output audio to my bluetooth speakers on Lubuntu 16.04 by following the steps from this post by user631559. Here they are below:

1. sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
2. pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover

Other information:

-When I open the default bluetooth GUI in System Settings. I am able to toggle the on/off switch. -Whether the bluetooth is toggled on or off, underneath it, in the box that displays the devices you would be connected to, it says, «Bluetooth is disabled».
-When I try to run Bluetooth Manager it gives this error message:

Connection to BlueZ failed Bluez daemon is not running, blueman-manager cannot continue. This probably means that there were no Bluetooth adapters detected or Bluetooth daemon was not started.

RT3290 Ralink driver in Ubuntu

I have found that there is a large community suffering from the problems with the WiFi-Bluetooth card Ralink RT-3290. It has been a problem since 2012-2013. None of the solutions I’ve found is simple, effective and durable. I managed, with great effort, some results. But when there is a kernel update, the problems return. Can anyone provide a simple , effective and lasting solution?
Is there a project from Ubuntu’s developers to attack the problem?

The kernel developers weren’t getting any help from the manufacturer in this case and there is a special interface involved if I remember correctly

Thank you. I know that there is no help from the manufacturer. And the bugs are reported for a long time. Internet is full of refrencias and PPA to this particular problem with Ralink RT3290. I’ve tried everything. The rbth-dkms driver (with modifications and after hard work) does work (not perfectly) at least in kernel versions lower than 3.15. In that case, one skilled enough to adapt it to make it work adjusting to the new BT kernel API. My knowledge is not enough. So I am surprised that some expert community has not found an effective packaged solution. Because it is a widespread problem.

Generally, the answer above is a steps in a correct direction. There are only two steps missing.

Step-by-step solution Open new terminal ( Ctrl + Alt + T ) and type as follows:

 sudo apt install git mkdir ~/tmp cd ~/tmp git clone https://github.com/alinefr/rtbth.git cd rtbth make sudo make install sudo cp -r ~/rtbth /usr/src/rtbth-3.9.3 sudo dkms install rtbth/3.9.3 sudo nano /etc/modules 

Add rtbth to the end of the file, then Ctrl + o and ENTER (to save the file) and Ctrl + X to close the editor

Then reboot and the new driver will be loaded.

This one worked for me to get the Bluetooth to be active and find devices, however, I didn’t succeeded to pair my Jabra play clipper with it, but that might be due to the Jabra device problems.

Anyway, you can try it out and share your progress with us
