bluez:0-5.80-1.fc42 was installed.

After a sudo dnf update, bluez-0:5.81-1.fc42 and related packages were installed.

Upon reboot I noticed bluetooth is off and wasn’t able to turn on in the Gnome control panel. Up to this point did not have any issues with bluetooth.

I downgraded back to 5.80 and bluetooth immediately started working again.

:laptop: Laptop is 2020 13" M1 MBP.

All bluez packages that were part of the upgrade:

bluez-obexd-0:5.81-1.fc42.aarch64
bluez-cups-0:5.81-1.fc42.aarch64
bluez-0:5.81-1.fc42.aarch64
bluez-libs-0:5.81-1.fc42.aarch64

I didn’t see any recent posts in bugzilla, so thought I’d start here first.

I just hit this same issue, if unknown maybe time to open that bugzilla ticket.

In my case I’m running a Dell G15 5030, some details about my bluetooth device follow:
