Public bug reported:
OS: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS OS Type: 64-bit GNOME Version: 42.9 Windowing System: X11. bluez: Installed: 5.64-0ubuntu1.3 Candidate: 5.64-0ubuntu1.3 Version table: *** 5.64-0ubuntu1.3 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 5.64-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages I use an ethernet connection on my PC. My PC has no wifi capabilities. WHAT I EXPECT: When I insert the USB Bluetooth device I should simply be able to connect my earphones and use them without crackling sounds and/or messages that don't mean anything to me. WHAT HAPPENED IN STEAD: I purchased a (No Name) USB bluetooth 5.0 device. When I inserted the device the OS immediately picked it up. Before I connected any devices, mobile phone or earphones, I got the following message immediately: “Connection Failed. Activation of network connection failed.” When I switched on my bluetooth earphones, Jabra, after the usual pairing they connected and I could listen to music using VLC, however, I got a crackling noise every now and then which sometimes coincided with a display of “Connection Failed. Activation of network connection failed.” The sound quality was also not consistent, so, I returned the USB device assuming that it was faulty. I subsequently purchased a WINX 5.1 USB Bluetooth device. When I insert the device the OS immediately picks it up. Before I connect any devices, mobile phone or earphones, I get the following immediately: “Connection Failed. Activation of network connection failed.” When I switch on my bluetooth earphones , Jabra, after the usual pairing they connect and I can listen to music using VLC or Youtube using firefox. Every now and then there is a crackling sound which sometimes coincides with a display of “Connection Failed. Activation of network connection failed.” The music quality sound is good and is only affected by the crackling sound. It seems to me that the OS is trying to establish some connection, but to what ? ** Affects: bluez (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bluetooth bluez usb -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2069503 Title: Connection failed report with no connection required To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/2069503/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
