Solving common issues with Direct-BT {#troubleshooting}

Direct-BT

If you are having issues with Direct-BT, please follow these steps to resolve common issues:

Make sure bluetooth is not blocked. On most systems you can do this with rfkill unblock bluetooth.
Make sure blueoothd daemon is not started:

systemctl stop bluetooth
systemctl disable bluetooth
systemctl mask bluetooth

Make sure your kernel supports Bluetooth. This is sometimes hard to verify, here are some ways on how to do this:

lsmod | grep bluetooth should return a line containing bluetooth, if not, try modprobe bluetooth or insmod bluetooth
/proc/config or /proc/config.gz or /boot/config should contain CONFIG_BT=y or CONFIG_BT=m and CONFIG_BT_LE=y. If CONFIG_BT=m is enabled, make sure to load your module using modprobe bluetooth or insmod bluetooth
rfkill list should show at least a line containing bluetooth, and it should not be blocked, if it is, see step 1.

If all fails, contact please contact Gothel Software for support. Support contracts for your project may also be available.
