Bluetooth problems on XPS 13

jp flag

I'm running Ubuntu 21.04 on a Dell XPS 13 9300.

All of my Bluetooth devices keep disconnecting and reconnecting.

This is a problem as my mouse, keyboard, and headphones all use Bluetooth. I used to be able to use all 3 at once with no problems.

I tried downgrading from kernel 5.11 to 5.10 with no effect.

The problem started sometime this week.

Attached are all of the packages upgraded in the last 3 days, and another list for all from the last 14 days in case none of the newer ones pan out.

Any idea which of these affect Bluetooth?

What OS & release do you mention; the 5.10 kernel appears 3rd party, and there is mention of a *focal* kernel package which shouldn't belong on a *hirsute* system; what are you running?

This is on 21.04. I installed the 5.10 kernel manually as a troubleshooting step; 5.11 is the current one pushed out by Ubuntu. The fact that this kernel switch didn't affect it makes me think it is something between the upper levels of the os and the kernel.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
