Bluetooth mouse no longer reconnecting automatically

Ask Fedora

I would estimate that I’ve had this issue since going to the 6.10 kernel but cannot confirm (and sadly I have no 6.9 kernel left in the list to check.)

Basically I have a logitech bluetooth mouse that once paired would be fine. I could go away and come back hours later and it automatically reconnects.

But since maybe the 6.10 update, it is still paired but no longer reconnects. I have to manually go into settings-Bluetooth, select it, and flip the toggle on to get it to connect.

Seeing if anyone else has any issues like this or a solution.

Unsure of what else I need to check. Seems it is paired and trusted so should autoconnect.

Only changes ever made to /etc/bluetooth/main.conf were

# LE scanning parameters used for passive scanning supporting auto connect
# scenarios
ScanIntervalAutoConnect=5
ScanWindowAutoConnect=1

though it was so long ago I’m not entirely sure why I changed it. Reverted it before but didn’t seem to make a difference.

I’ll put “solved” here I guess. Went with the stock config now and it somehow seems to work (only after a reboot- doing a systemctl restart bluetooth did not seem to help but a full reboot did after putting in the stock config.)
