  • raspberry Pi OS based on Trixie

    From Jim@3:633/10 to All on Tuesday, October 14, 2025 07:00:02
    I recently upgraded (?) an RPi4 to the latest and greatest (?) Raspberry Pi
    OS, which is based upon Debian 13.1 (Trixie). I have been using a program called "radoneye" (https://github.com/sormy/radoneye) to monitor a Radoneye RD200 detector.

    Now when I get the software to talk to the RD200 (via Bluetooth), it often times out and spits out 50 or so lines of whinage. Sometimes the whinage
    is after the desired output, sometimes there is no useful output at all.

    I can still use an RPi4 running the previous version of Raspberry Pi OS to access the RD200 (with this radoneye software), so I know the device is
    still working.

    I don't know whether this is an issue with the newer Python (3.13.5
    vs. 3.11.2), with the Bluetooth implementation in Trixie, the software has
    a bug which wasn't an apparent bug in Python 3.11.2, or something else yet.


    My question (and I do have one): is there anyone here using Bluetooth via Python3 on an RPi who can comment on whether all is good for them on Trixie?

    (FWIW, this software is not using bluepy.)

    Thanks.

    Is this <https://github.com/sormy/radoneye/issues/5> you?

    Looking down the posted traceback, the error seems to be coming from
    the dbus-fast package, specifically this line <https://github.com/Bluetooth-Devices/dbus-fast/blob/cf34de432a4c51cbe7a605f453076cb0223a2b4a/src/dbus_fast/_private/unmarshaller.py#L393>.

    I see python3-dbus-fast is a standard Debian package, so perhaps the
    problem is down to a new version of that?
