I have an old Dell Vostro 1500 laptop. It was running
Fedora 17 with no problems with the bluetooth mouse I use.
After a fresh install of Fedora 24 Workstation I can't
get the mouse to reconnect after a boot. Systemctl
reports bluetoothd 'Failed to obtain handles for
"Serviced Changed" characteristic'. Both blueman-manager
and blueman-applet report the adapter is off and are
unable to turn it on.
I can go into bluetoothctl, power on the adapter and
connect to the mouse. Things are fine until a reboot.
lshw reports the bluetooth adapter is a Broadcom BCM2045.
Any thoughts on how to get the adapter powered on at boot
and the mouse auto-reconnected as it nicely did 7 Fedora
releases ago.
Thanks, Jon
In another thread ("fedora 23 bluetooth connection") the
"Trusted" setting for a BT device was mentioned.
Previously I had tried to set my mouse as a trusted device
using the GUI configuration tool "blueman-manager". When
I clicked on the "trust" icon or on the "trust" menu icon,
nothing seemed to happen but no error messages came up either.
I revisited the problem and repeated the above observation.
Then I tried the "bluetoothctl" command, finding "trust"
and "untrust" commands were available. I ran the "trust [dev]"
command, it reported "trust successfully applied to [dev]".
And over in the blueman-manager, a trust icon appeared on the
mouse entry.
Even better news, when I reboot, if the mouse is on it is
connected and active. If the mouse is not on, turning it
on automaticall connects it and it is active.
Sounds like there is a problem with blueman-manager!
