ame problem with ArchLinux: I do have a Bluetooth adapters (but bluetooth.service disabled), and the BT option disabled on KDEconnect Similar report on the web: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/i-see-a-heap-of-bluetooth-stuff-in-the-logs/184158/9 https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/cannot-find-bluez-5-adapter-for-device-search-false/179401 Logs: kdeconnectd[1486]: Cannot find a compatible running Bluez. Please check the Bluez installation. QtBluetooth requires at least BlueZ version 5. kdeconnectd[1486]: No local bluetooth adapter found kdeconnectd[1718]: QThreadStorage: entry 2 destroyed before end of thread 0x9e82e9f4d50 kdeconnectd[1718]: QThreadStorage: entry 1 destroyed before end of thread 0x9e82e9f4d50 kdeconnectd[1486]: Failed to register with host portal QDBusError("org.freedesktop.portal.Error.Failed", "Could not register app ID: Connection already associated with an application ID") kdeconnectd[1486]: Missing CAP_NET_ADMIN permission. Cannot determine whether a found address is of random or public type. kdeconnectd[1486]: Cannot find Bluez 5 adapter for device search false .... Since Fedora 43 upgraded to KDE Gear 25.12.1 + KDE Frameworks 6.22 in https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-dab67734c1, the workaround of disabling the Bluetooth backend in kdeconnectd does not persist across sessions. The next time kdeconnectd starts, this message: Jan 17 00:06:39 hostname kdeconnectd[5017]: Cannot find Bluez 5 adapter for device search false is logged every 30s again. Checking the KDE Connect settings via the tray icon shows that the Bluetooth backend is disabled but it has to be toggled i.e. enabled then disabled again to stop those messages. This now has to be done at every login. Fedora 43 upgraded to KDE Gear 25.12.2 in https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-855f57493d. No change in behaviour to 25.12.1, the Bluetooth backend has to be toggled i.e. enabled then disabled again to stop these messages at every login. |
