Во время беседы с Gemini я разобрался как подключать bluetooth наушники в linux через CLI утилиту bluetoothctl так, чтобы они не отваливались каждый полчаса

nvm i just had to do it through bluetoothctl?? both bluez and overskride wanted pins

Bluetooth OK ¿creo?. Lanzando bluetoothctl se arregla.

@sterophonick Wow. Looks like it’s having a fit. I’ve been having problems with Bluetooth on my M1 Mini, like, forever and today I have to use bluetoothctl on my Steamdeck just to connect a pair of JBL Club One headphones. Bluetooth is still honestly terrible, in general. Sorry man :(

i don't fully understand, but using `bluetoothctl connect` with a device id was the ticket! it seems like the tablet keeps trying to up-negotiate to some other profile set. it can do so much! but you/I want the Audio Sink.
bluetoothctl holding steady since.

I tend to pronounce "control" for these /usr/bin/*ctl's. systemctl, hostnamectl, resolvectl, networkctl, busctl, loginctl, pactl, playerctl, machinectl, timedatectl, wayvncctl, bluetoothctl, iwctl, so many others fine controllers.
So: koob-control.

much flailing around trying to get bluetoothctl to connect & basically failing all the time. but with a different usb adapter it did at least show. and github.com/stefansundin... ran & prints to screen the output!
just... very low res. 12 ticks around! 30°! and kinda laggy. frell.

I am willing to admit that bluetoothctl is a brute and how pair/trust/connect related to each other & ought be used remains not crystal clear.
But the physical pairing ritual is still unclear on the Pixel Buds. Trying again on phone to find out there again.

Things I've tried:
* Rules out my code, just trying `bluetoothctl scan on`
* --privileged, host net, user 0
* Mount dbus and related dirs
* Ensure dbus and bluetoothd are running
* Bluetooth.conf
* Rules out my code, just trying `bluetoothctl scan on`
* --privileged, host net, user 0
* Mount dbus and related dirs
* Ensure dbus and bluetoothd are running

Of course following the steps doesn't work. Why would following steps work?
Scan on leads to Bluetoothctl: No default controller available.
Can find tons of posts talking about this issue, but I don't understand 90% of what they are saying, lol.
Let's see how many hours this takes...

yes (at least to the api opentabletdriver uses) and i did think it was kind of strange that it did tbh... i guess linux doesnt.
regardless if you could find the vendor and product id through maybe bluetoothctl devices, i'm curious if the different increments of wii remotes have different product ID

Pairing Bluetooth devices from the terminal just feels better.

trying to do stuff with `coproc { bluetoothctl; }` because bluetoothctl is designed by satan to be interactive-only.
i found that `cat ${COPROC[0]}` will keep waiting for input rather than dumping the buffer and closing. but searching "cat timeout" didn't lead to the results i was hoping for

i eventually did get this to work! ✨
1) remove the wayfire bluetooth plugin
2) use bluetoothctl to manually pair <MAC>, then connect <MAC>
confirmed as a userspace problem in how wf-panel handles bt auth
it's unreliable as shit, though, but i guess that would be solved with a better bt dongle

There was some funny quirks like having to set the gamepad in a special mode then from commandline run bluetoothctl and make sure bluetooth and hciuart was on in systemd and then pair then connect then trust the device and it will connect again whenever started up but I had some issues like (1/3)

Kali no default controller fix fast: use the 15-minute proof checklist, read the right logs, and avoid what most people miss. Copy/paste and fix today.
Fix “No default controller available” on Kali (BlueZ): btusb, rfkill, systemd, and USB dongle checks
Stop Guessing: Fix "No Default Controller Available" on Kali The fastest way to waste an hour on Kali Bluetooth is to keep restarting services that have nothing to manage. When bluetoothctl reports "No default controller available," it isn't a BlueZ tantrum—it’s your system quietly telling you the controller never showed up. Whether blocked by rfkill, failing USB/VM passthrough, or missing firmware, the pain is specific: dead air with no hci0.
