<![CDATA[Ubports with a jbl go speaker]]>Re: Working bluetooth on devices
Hello !
I'm french owner of two nexus, 4 and 5, and I've a problem with bluetooth with a JBL go.
The connexion works, but no sound ! The phone seems to considerate jbl go like headphone, not speaker, and after that trial, bluetooth can't be disconnect...
Any idea ?

Thats a pity. I tried various things with manual intervention to the dpkg scripts, but it seems they cannot stop or start the bluetoothd process at all, and just hang.

I tried this now on various devices, all have the same issue... Maybe its bc I am on devel?

Bluetooth was disabled when I started the install.

Yeah, that's really cool 🙂

I can stream both ogg and mp3 files to the Bose from my N4. Cool eh? (Wish I could remember how to make commands appear in red on this forum.)

I then tried to get it working with my Ubuntu 18.04 laptop. Also not working. After searching on line, I found I needed to install 'pulseaudio-module-bluetooth', after which it worked fine. This package doesn't appear to be installed on UT. Could this be relevant?

I know, it's a long waiting for that to be fixed, but with limited workforce, there is no other way around it, unfortunately.

I've already explained in Q&A post why UT can't seduce more people, bluetooth management is a good example.

On Canonical builds bluetooth worked( not perfectly, but worked {apart from Pro 5} )

It gets stuck and then, upon reboot, if I run again sudo ubports-qa install xenial_-_new-bluez it says "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." And when run sudo dpkg --configure -a it gets stuck again at "Setting up bluez (5.50-0ubuntu3) ...".

@advocatux I tried your suggestion, I've a terminal return : no space on /var/cache/apt/archives

This is normal for FP2, since last 2 or 3 OTAs. You can try to free some space using these commands extracted fom another post:

$ sudo mount -o rw,remount /
$ sudo rm -r /var/cache/apt
$ sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/loop0

If previous commands can't free enough space for /var/cache/apt/archives, you can temporary mount-bind the folder to somewhere else with more space, as described in this post:

$ sudo mkdir -p /userdata/system-data/var/cache/apt/archives
$ sudo mount -o bind /userdata/system-data/var/cache/apt/archives /var/cache/apt/archives/

After this you can try the @advocatux suggestion and it should work without free space problems. Maybe you will have more luck.

I tried the sudo ubports-qa install xenial_-_new-bluez, but it didn't finish and got stuck on bluetooth restarting. After rebooting, as I wrote in previous post, no improvement was observed. And because of the freezing on bluetooth restart, I couldn't revert things back with sudo ubports-qa remove xenial_-_new-bluez, so full image reinstall was needed. Has anyone more luck with this, as I had?

Even if I've debian since many years, I'm still a newbie, can we use UT terminal like a debian terminal ? Can we use apt-get dist-upgrade ?
Or may I use libertine to install ?
