Yes it does. After reading previous posts I tested on a fresh install of Debian and after installing pipewire-audio and reboot pipewire appears enabled, so this post became obsolete.

In Debian Bookworm, with Mate Desktop Environment Pulseaudio is the audio server installed by default. I had some troubles when trying to connect my cell phone to make it sound in Debian so I tried Pipewire and It goes fine now.

Important: I could not guarantee that this procedure works in other D.E that come with Pulseaudio by default

Firstly you should deactivate Pulseaudio typing in a terminal (as user):

systemctl --user --now disable pulseaudio.{socket,service}

systemctl --user mask ...

Hello,
If you mean the device name (/dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1, etc), it's not possible (AFAIK).

If you mean to specify a different label for each file system, it is possible. For example, you may configure the label "sda1" for the file system in the partition /dev/sda1 . If the same device is recognized at boot as /dev/sdb1, you will find that its label is "sda1". I don't know if it's worth it.


Hello Aki

I tried to mean device name like /dev/sdx sorry for the misunderstanding of the label ...

Hi
Al tough I posted this problem before: I have a 120 gb sdd containing sda1 (home partition) and sda2 (root partition)
Additionally I have a mechanical 4tb hdd (sdb1)
Bookwworm when booting randomly swaps sda1 with sdb1 labels and despite this is not a big problem, I would like to know if based upon the actual fstab (created by Debian installer by UUID) it would be possible to add a label to force sda1 to appear permantly labelled as sda1 and if the answer is yea how would I do it..

Here ...

to get Bluetooth working on pipe wire you must install libspa-0.2-bluetooth
If not Wayland like Mate DE you must install

on a terminal type
to see in red what error have been detected on boot

Hi Aki

I have changed the post Title as per your suggestion. I also hope it might be useful for other members or anyone in Internet
I keep your amended syntax as a manual
Thanks once more for your help
Best regards

lospala :
To sort it out, replace the content of the file named dkms.conf in 20200610_LINUX_BT_DRIVER/usb/bluetooth_usb_driver with:



Cheers it works !!!

I edited dkms.conf with root privilege and pasted into it the syntax you gave me.
I could build the package and followed all steps.
I did this on a backup of a just installed Debian with almost no packages. I rebooted and paired easily the headphones
After that I upgraded to kernel 6.1.38-4 and upon reboot I could connect headphones ...

Thanks

Hope this help. Let me know.


Hi Aki

I followrd all steps but I come to this point and I cannot follow
Firstly I moved the rtl8761usb.conf as well as the other two files within the folder downloaded with git (rtl8761usb) to the folder 20200610_LINUX_BT_DRIVER/usb/bluetooth_usb_driver
When I try to to build module from this last folder but _I get this output;

root@debian:/home/administrador/Escritorio/20200610_LINUX_BT_DRIVER/usb/bluetooth_usb_driver ...

Thanks a lot. I will try to do it carefully Ana I let you know.
Kind regards

Just one last check. What is the output of the following command ?



Firstly I say thanks for your support

I made a mistake when I pasted the code saying that no btusb was found because after checking in the Debianfresh install that Debian installer detected the dongle and installed
firmware-realtek I returned to the actual Debian backup by cloning the entire hdd.

This Debian backup has kernel 6.1.38-3 and it has installed the bluetooth driver . My mistake was to put in a terminal the ...

Hello,

Your device (with chipset Realtek 8761b):
[/code] seems to be supported in the kernel shipped with Debian Bookworm [ 1 ]:



I must tell you that Debian was installed upon release date and I bought Realtek Bluetooth dongle on August. I keep a backup of the latest upgrade (just when relevant changes are made) and a copy of the previous Debian install (previous to those changes). In none of them firmware-realtek was installed. To test if Kernel supported this dongle i did this ...

As usually happens when you take your car to the mechanic, the failure disappears. I just found the driver download link

What's the URL where it can be downloaded ?

Hello
I spent all afternoon looking for the link but I don't remember where I downloaded it from or found it. Luckily I saved a copy on Dropbox. I give you the link

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mo3n6pbd ... 1c4ce&dl=0

Thanks

Thank you AKI

You are right. Every install is out of the kernel
The bluetooth dongle is marked as MTS-BT5PRO
As per the vendor website the firmware is Realtek 8761b
The driver I have downloaded from Internet is LINUX_DRIVER-20230803T190513Z-001.zip
Below the output of lsusb (I see there 8771)

administrador@debian:~$ LC_ALL=C lsusb

I close this post as after one week of searching I see that there is no Realtek 8761 or 8771 package working with dkms so far and . I'm not that expert to build my own one.
Rgds

Thank you
I spent a lot of time searching how to and where and I found a firmware (the only one located)
But when I try to install it with sudo dkms install dkms.conf it shows a log that says not rules at all
I cannot find inside the folder any instruction of what to do to install it.
Anyway I will keep on trying and searching
Regards

Hi
I have bought a Bluetooth Dongle 5.0 (chipset Realtek 8761B). . I installed the firmware as per below code and everything went fine.
After that I upgraded kernel two times and after every upgrade Bluetooth stopped working as if there were no firmware. The only solution was installing firmware again and
removing the previous Bluetooth connections and creating new ones.
I believed that installing the firmware as per below code, they will be maintained upon every kernel upgrade like the case is ...

I also think it's a problem of Mate DE I'm new with Debian but I have experienced the same problem with Ubuntu Mate 20.04 but not with 18.04
Before changing the dongle I had to remove and reinsert the old one from the USB port every time I needed headphones connected. This is not the orthodox solution.
