Public bug reported:
After upgrading from bluez 5.72-0ubuntu5.4 to 5.72-0ubuntu5.5, Bluetooth
device discovery stops working on Realtek RTL8852BU adapters.
Hardware: Realtek RTL8852BU (USB ID 0bda:4853)
System: Linux Mint 22 (Ubuntu 24.04 base)
Kernel: 6.14.0-37-generic
Symptoms:
- bluetoothctl shows "discovering on" then immediately "discovering off"
(cycles repeatedly)
- No Bluetooth devices are found during scan
- Same devices work perfectly with smartphones
- External USB Bluetooth adapter (CSR chip) works perfectly on same system
- Problem appeared immediately after upgrade from 5.72-0ubuntu5.4 to
5.72-0ubuntu5.5
Steps to reproduce:
1. Have system with Realtek RTL8852BU Bluetooth adapter
2. Upgrade bluez from 5.72-0ubuntu5.4 to 5.72-0ubuntu5.5
3. Run: bluetoothctl → power on → scan on
4. Discovery starts and stops immediately, no devices found
Expected behavior: Device discovery should remain active and find nearby
Bluetooth devices
Actual behavior: Discovery stops immediately after starting, no devices detected
Workaround: External USB Bluetooth adapter works perfectly, confirming
the issue is specific to the Realtek driver in this bluez version.
