Hello,

I’m trying unsuccessfully to connect my Airpods Gen1 to my ThinkPad T14s Gen3 AMD powered by Fedora 38 :slightly_frowning_face:.

Bluetooth installed packages:

[root@t14s ]# dnf list --installed | grep "blue"
NetworkManager-bluetooth.x86_64                      1:1.42.6-1.fc38                     @updates

I have read Issues · bluez/bluez · GitHub and I have executed :

$ sudo systemctl stop bluetooth
$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/bluetooth
$ sudo dnf reinstall bluez
$ sudo systemctl start bluetooth

But it still doesn’t work :slightly_frowning_face:.

I also tried this method:

[bluetooth]# scan on
...
[NEW] Device E4:90:FD:14:BB:85 AirPods de Stéphane Klein
...
[bluetooth]# devices
Device E4:90:FD:14:BB:85 AirPods de Stéphane Klein
[bluetooth]# pair E4:90:FD:14:BB:85
Attempting to pair with E4:90:FD:14:BB:85
Failed to pair: org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationRejected

I don’t understand Failed to pair: org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationRejected error message.

Do you also have this problem?

Do you have any advice to help me correct this problem?

Best regards,
Stéphane
