One thing that "confuses" me is that within the KDE settings there is, as I
said, an
"Accept Automatically" choice. But if you use bluetoothctl there doesn't
appear to be an
equivalent setting in the command line interface.
I don't currently have GNOME installed on my system in order to check if my headset
would
connect automatically in that environment.
Here's progress:
Use bluetoothctl and set "trust" on for the speaker device.
After the next re-boot the device connected when powered on just like
before. (I just didn't know about the existence of bluetoothctl)
Thanks, all
