Bluetooth connection issues on Fedora 43 Plasma

I have been having issues with connecting my earbuds to my laptop on launch via Bluetooth. It successfully connects for a few seconds, then drops off. I have gotten it to fully work, but it requires me restarting the bluetooth service everytime I want to connect to my laptop, which is something I’d like to not have to do. I’ve attached the log files for the bluetooth service and have tried some “fixes”, but I’ve been unable to get anything to work. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!

You will have a much better chance of finding a solution if you provide hardware details as web searchable preformatted text (using <\> or the + from the top line of the text entry panel): install and run inxi in a terminal. You will need to provide options to select the appropriate details. A good selection of options is -Fzxx. There may be additional details in the journal. Try journalctl —no-hostname -b -p 3 (add —no-pagerto get complete lines for posting).


Understood. I probably should’ve prefaced that I am fairly new to all of this stuff, so I’m not super familiar with terminal commands yet. I appreciate the help nonetheless. I hope I included all relevant information to the issue. If there’s something missing, just let me know.

I found an “older” thread where other people were having this same issue on previous verisons of Fedora. Someone posted a workaround solution the the problem, which has worked for me. Hopefully this bug (which seemingly has been around for a while) gets fixed relatively soon. I’ll link the workaround that “solved” the problem for me. If anyone has any information still regarding this problem with bluetooth, let me know!

Hello, I’m the OP of that post. Did you see the solution I selected? It’s actually a cleaner way of fixing the issue.

Just tried it and it works perfectly. Sucks that you have to remove KDE Connect, but the trade-off is worth it I think. Appreciate the help!
