<SOLVED> Need help getting Bluetooth to work with TP-Link UB500 Bluetooth

Post by zek777 »

Hello everyone,
I have recently started using Linux Mint and I pretty much got everything to work.
Except Bluetooth. I am using a Bluetooth usb adater.
In the UI it just say "Searching for devices...".
I have tried renaming, turn off and on both my PC and my headset.
Can anyone help me with this problem?

I checked other topics, and these codes are regularly asked for so I did these beforehand.

To post essential details about your PC setup: Plug in all relevant dongles, accessories, and peripherals. Then

Open a Terminal (ctrl-alt-T), then copy-and-paste the following long line of green text into the Terminal window, then tap Enter...

Code: Select all

C=code];echo "[$C`inxi -Fxxxmprzc0;mokutil --sb-state;rfkill;lsusb;lsblk -fir;lspci -nnk;cat /proc/cmdline;dkms status;(lsmod;dmesg)|egrep -i "fir|ail|err|blu|bt|unav"`[/$C"|xed -
Within several seconds, xed text editor pops open, showing technical data useful for others to analyze PC & peripheral issues.

Copy-and-paste everything from xed into a Reply here. < The required [code] tags have been added for you />

Your Ryzen needs a more recent kernel, to activate and/or enhance subsystems that are controlled by its AMD support chipsets.


From the Mint menus, launch Update Manager, and there click View > Linux Kernels > [Continue].

Then, from the list on the left, select the highest kernel release (currently 5.15 for LM20) and install the top-of-the-list version.

Reboot.


Any improvement(s)?

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 2357:0604 TP-Link TP-Link UB500 Adapter

If the TP-Link UB500 Bluetooth still isn't working, create links for missing RTL8761b firmware:
Open a Terminal (ctrl-alt-T), then copy-and-paste the following into the Terminal window, then tap Enter...

Code: Select all

cd /lib/firmware/rtl_bt;sudo ln -sf rtl8761b_config.bin rtl8761bu_config.bin;sudo ln -sf rtl8761b_fw.bin rtl8761bu_fw.bin;cd
Reboot.

Bluetooth? If so, we're done.




Otherwise:

There's a patch for the TP-Link UB500 Bluetooth adapter in kernel 5.16, but you'll need the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Installer to get that in LM20:

Open a Terminal (ctrl-alt-T), then copy-and-paste the following 2 lines into the Terminal window, one by one, tapping Enter after each...

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:cappelikan/ppa && sudo apt update -y
sudo apt install mainline
Use Mint menus to launch Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Installer, then install kernel 5.16 or higher.

Reboot.



If you later wish to remove the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Installer and its PPA (this doesn't remove your installed kernels) ...

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository -y --remove ppa:cappelikan/ppa;sudo apt remove -y mainline;sudo apt update -y

Ignore that, I did not see the other advice below the update kernel.
I did the cd command for TPLink and it is working now.
Thank you very much.

Great.


Just to be clear for others, the fix -- for the 2357:0604 chipset in the TP-Link UB500 with LM20 -- is to create links for required RTL8761b firmware:
Open a Terminal (ctrl-alt-T), then copy-and-paste the following into the Terminal window, then tap Enter...

Code: Select all

cd /lib/firmware/rtl_bt;sudo ln -sf rtl8761b_config.bin rtl8761bu_config.bin;sudo ln -sf rtl8761b_fw.bin rtl8761bu_fw.bin;cd
Reboot.

P.S. Not mentioned here, but other factors: Disable Secure Boot in your BIOS, because it's known to interfere with device drivers & firmware. If you run Windows on the same PC as Linux, it's best to disable Windows Fast Startup, otherwise it can leave your hardware in a zombie state at any time.
