bluetooth auto-start not working

jt4534 · 01-15-2019, 02:39 AM

I'm using ubuntu 18.10. In the past I probably made a change for my bluetooth to not start on startup but I do not remember the change. Now, I want to restore it back to normal but I couldn't find a way. Every time I start-up my system the bluetooth icon is not even appearing. When I start it from the applications it says daemon not running etc. I checked "blueetoth/main.conf" but "AutoEnable=true" exists. If I do

sudo service bluetooth start

it works but when I restart my computer, the problem is back again.

Edit:

sudo rfkill unblock bluetooth

This didn't solve the problem, too.

Hi jt4534,

It sounds like your systemd bluetooth service is no longer enabled (i.e. set up to start automatically).

Code:

sudo systemctl enable bluetooth.service

... should do the trick. Afterwards, reboot and verify the state of the service :

Code:

sudo systemctl status bluetooth.service

... let us know how you make out.

Cheers.
