Ubuntu 17.10 - fails to pick up bluetooth devices after upgrading

  • 772

After upgrading my Kubuntu from 17.04 to 17.10, it cannot pick up any bt devices anymore.

I try to bt my bt keyboard, bt mouse, bt speaker, and android phone. None of them being displayed on the window below:

enter image description here

I tried:

$ lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net; lsusb; hciconfig -a; dmesg | egrep -i 'blue|firm'

I get:

    I experienced this issue on Ubuntu 17.10 with kernel 4.13.0-16-generic.

    I have Bluetooth adapter "8087:0a2b Intel Corp.," and I receive the same error in your output:

    $ dmesg | grep -i Blue

Ubuntu Bluetooth 8087 0a2b Intel Failed to disable LE scan status 0x0c

    Here is a workaround that resolved the issue for me.

    1. Edit iwlwifi.conf

      sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

    2. Add the following line to the end of this file and save:

      options iwlwifi bt_coex_active=0

    3. Then reboot.

    This may be a regression kernel 4.13, per Bug #1729389. If you think this bug affects you, you should mark yourself as impacted, so it gets addressed.

    An alternative solution, suggested in the same bug report, may be to downgrade to kernel 4.10, but the above is probably easier to try first.
