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
I have a Broadcom BT dongle with roughly the same issues. Years ago I created a /etc/rc.d/rc.local file containing:
hciconfig hci0 up
For recent Fedoras note that you now have to explicitly enable rc.local for it to run:
systemctl enable rc-local
I also find the dongle sometimes doesn't power on after returning from hibernation. Haven't found a fix for that other than keeping an extra mouse so I can enable it manually.
Thanks for the suggestion Patrick, I'll try it this evening.
