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!
