Public bug reported:
After the system update on March 29, 2026, my Bluetooth audio headset
(Shokz OpenComm2 / OpenComm2 by Shokz_II) stopped working on kernel
7.0.0-10-generic.
The headset either disconnects within about 10 seconds after connect,
or the connection is canceled and audio profiles fail to come up.
If I reboot the same machine into the previous kernel
6.19.0-6-generic, the headset works again without changing userspace
packages or pairing state.
This looks like a kernel regression in 7.0.0-10-generic.
Working kernel:
6.19.0-6-generic
Linux book 6.19.0-6-generic #6-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Feb 18 15:48:21
UTC 2026 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Broken kernel:
7.0.0-10-generic
From previous boot kernel log:
Linux version 7.0.0-10-generic (buildd@lcy02-amd64-051) (x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc
(Ubuntu 15.2.0-15ubuntu2) 15.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.46)
#10-Ubuntu SMP
PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Mar 19 10:24:42 UTC 2026 (Ubuntu 7.0.0-10.10-generic
7.0.0-rc4)
Userspace versions at the time:
bluez 5.85-4
pipewire 1.6.2-1ubuntu1
wireplumber 0.5.13-1ubuntu1
gnome-shell 50.0-0ubuntu2
same userspace + new kernel fails.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot kernel 7.0.0-10-generic.
2. Power on the Shokz OpenComm2 headset.
3. Connect it from GNOME Settings or with bluetoothctl.
4. Wait a few seconds.
Expected result:
The headset should stay connected and its audio profile should become usable.
Actual result:
- Another Bluetooth device (Logitech Pebble mouse) still works, so this is
not a total Bluetooth failure.
- I tested re-pairing the headset and rebooting the headset; that did not
help on 7.0.0-10-generic.
- I tested disabling Bluetooth headset autoswitch behavior in WirePlumber;
that did not fix it on 7.0.0-10-generic.
- There is no GNOME Shell crash here; this does not appear to be the old
gnome-shell bug 2138654.
