Help, I can't pair airpods on clear linux

Q&A

Hi to everyone in the clear linux community!

I need some help connecting the apple airpods to the clear linux bluetooth.

I’ve read on the ubuntu forum that you need to change the ControllerMode from dual to bredr by editing /etc/bluetooth/main.conf file but I can’t find the equivalent file on clear.

Does anyone knows where is the bluetooth .conf file located in Clear Linux??

The hardware-bluetooth bundle is already installed on my system.

Many thanks

Any ideas? Thank you

there is no user-style bluetooth/main.conf. see https://docs.01.org/clearlinux/latest/reference/manpages/stateless.7.html
according to there, you can add your own config files.
A standard bluetooth .conf file can be found here

I resolved it

Created the folders and file : /etc/bluetooth/main.conf
Added content to main.conf from Linux Notebook Bluetooth config file for fix Headpones Hi-Fi pairing issues · GitHub
Commented out ‘MultiProfile = “multiple”’ in file
Changed line ‘ControllerMode = bredr’
Ran ‘systemctl restart bluetooth.service’
Ran ‘systemctl restart bluetooth’

for troubleshooting use
systemctl status bluetooth.service
