Re: Bluetooth not working on LMDE 6 Mackbook Air 2011
I have the same problem on my Macbook from 2015.
The same exact error and everything. I suppose it's a driver error from some system update or something like that.
I have had installed the system on the 18th and now on 20th, the bluetooth doesn't work anymore.
I have not found a solution and would also like some help.
I am also running LMDE 6.

Update: Bluetooth not working on LMDE 6 Mackbook Air 2011
I reinstalled Blueman. Now, a Logitech BT keyboard is detected but it won't pair. I ran bluetoothctl -> scan on and see that my Apple BT keyboard and trackpad connect but then immediately disconnet. These Apple devices are not detected by Blueman.
Solution Bluetooth not working on LMDE 6 Mackbook Air 2011
I finally got my apple keyboard and trackpad to work. To do this I restarted bluetooth: sudo service bluetooth restart
Then, I opened the blueman app via the BT icon and the devices were discovered after I repeatedly depressed the power buttons on the devices. Then I right clicked on each device, selected connect, then pair. I had to try this process repeatedly. The devices would connect/disconnect but eventually they paired and seem to be stable.
So, the hardware and drivers do seem to work but the connecting and pairing is erratic; I have no idea whether things will be discovered, connect and pair a second time.
