Many, but not all, issues with downloading from Bluetooth are solved by
putting a new battery in your dive computer. This is especially the case
when downloading used to work but doesn't anymore. One thing I like about
the Petrel (and Perdix) is that replacing the AA battery is easy and cheap.

Now I was about to say download with my Petrel 2 works fine on Linux.  But
I just tested with the latest master, and it failed with a similar error on
the command line, and "Insufficient privileges to open the device..."
dialog displayed.

qt.bluetooth.bluez: void QBluetoothSocketPrivate::_q_readNotify() 29 error:
-1 "Resource temporarily unavailable"
[5.125099] ERROR: Failed to open the serial port. [in
../../src/shearwater_common.c:46 (shearwater_common_open)]
