Intel bluetooth adapter doesn't attach to fedora 39 qubes

It looks like my bluetooth adapter is disconnected before the firmware gets a chance to download. Dmesg:

It works with older fedoras. It works with other devices. All use the same qubes kernel 6.6.29-1.qubes.fc37.x86_64.

Run this command in sys-usb terminal:

sudo journalctl -f -n0

Try to attache your USB Bluetooth controller to some fedora 39 based qube.
Check the sys-usb log to see if there are any errors related to usbip.

Also try to use fedora 39 template for both sys-usb and qube to which you’re attaching the device, Maybe it’s some issue with debian template for sys-usb and fedora template for qube to which you’re attaching the device.

Ok, I ran the command and this is what I got related to the usbip:

Immediately after systemd Stopped target bluetooth.target - Bluetooth.

It is also weird that it fails to detect that the device was successfully removed. Once while gathering these logs my sys-usb shut itself down upon trying to attach the device.

I noticed that it does not work with debian qubes, thanks to you.

My template for sys-usb is fedora 38. I am off to prepare the new template.

Did you try to use debian template for both qubes?
My guess is that there could be some incompatibility due to different usbip or some other package version and the package with newer version in fedora-39 template is having some issues with older package version in debian or fedora-38 template.

I tried fedora 39 for both sys-usb and a target system. It doesn’t work. Will try debian next.

I ran some tests. Looks like your guess is right, or something similar prevents it from working properly.

It seems like a possible solution may be to try and install the same versions of the packages related to the bluetooth adapter on all systems, starting from the usbip. But shouldn’t it work with different packages out of the box? Is there a way to trace what makes usbip-host log the submit_urb error, -19?

I think you should report this bug on github so devs can look into this:
