Ubports with a jbl go speaker
-
It doesn't work for Pro5 either. It gets stuck and then, upon reboot, if I run again
sudo ubports-qa install xenial_-_new-bluezit says "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." And when runsudo dpkg --configure -ait gets stuck again at "Setting up bluez (5.50-0ubuntu3) ...". -
Tried the new-bluez install today on my OPO. All appears to have worked OK. Tested with Bose Soundlink Mini. This is just for info really and proof it works at least on OPO.

Has an issue been raised against this on GitHub?
-
@arubislander I don't know, I didn't even know there is work done in this direction but I am so glad there is and I wanted to try it...
-
@mihael Same issue on my nexus 5. Now the BT is broken
-
@malditobastardo bluetooth is probably broken on all devices. I hope the Pinephone won't have such an issues, as it might be mine next UT device
-
@Stefano bluetooth protocol itself is pretty broken IMO
-
@advocatux Yeah, but PinePhone should come without Halium and with mainline kernel, so that should help, or not? On Canonical builds bluetooth worked( not perfectly, but worked {apart from Pro 5} )
-
@Stefano IIRC even on Canonical times bluetooth was a hit or miss.
-
Fail test on nexus 4, need to reinstall UT...
I hope that the developers will have an idea for the future, I would like listen music with jbl speaker ! -
@Ghostrider use an audio jack for now
-
@kugiigi What a pity... More practical to connect with bluetooth.
I've already explained in Q&A post why UT can't seduce more people, bluetooth management is a good example. -
@Ghostrider Bluetooth issues will be sorted, it's on the list to do, after more important issues and upgrades. I know, it's a long waiting for that to be fixed, but with limited workforce, there is no other way around it, unfortunately.

@advocatux I've been trying to get my Leitz Mini Bluetooth Speaker working with UT, but without success. 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?
-
@advocatux BTW, my Nexus 4 UT pairs and connects to my Bose Sound Dock via a cheap chinese bluetooth adapter which fits in place of the iPod. 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.)
-
@dtarrant I think we have all the necessary bits on UT, no need to add more modules.
Yeah, that's really cool

I am trying to install this on my N5, but I always get stuck during "Configuring bluez" message from dpkg - anyone had this too? Bluetooth was disabled when I started the install.
-
@Flohack yes. its not working in the N5.
My nexus 5 works fine on my other jbl model (flip)
jbl GO 2 also working fine
-
@Flohack did a reboot fix that issue?
-
@advocatux No, the package remains unconfigured and is not fully installed. 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?
