linux bluetooth windows snippet

• I use Bluetooth speakers for my PC.
• Also this PC has windows 10 and Linux dualboot
• So connecting the speaker to one system and switching will make the pairing in the other system invalid
• Pairing windows can be reset by removing the device from the list of bluetooth devices and pairing it again
• linux on the other hand (using blueman-devices) fails for somereason to remove the device and pair again.
• pairing from command line worked

1bluetoothctl
2scan on
3pair <device>
4trust <device>
5connect <device>

I tried to do it from blueman devices interface and it took over half an hour and one time restarting and removing/installing the bluetooth adapter. then tried the CLI and it worked in a minute.

On 1 July 2023 bluetooth was crashing after connecting ¶

• a Bug is blueman package that require downgrading: https://bbs.archlinux.org/view…
