I can pair my AirPods with no issue, but after rebooting, I will not be able to connect to it anymore, I’ll need to re-pair to get it to work again

bluetoothctl shows the following log

[AirPods]# Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed br-connection-unknown

journalctl shows the following log

bluetoothd[1267]: src/profile.c:ext_connect() Hands-Free Voice gateway failed connect to 74:65:0C:FF:FF:FF: Connection refused (111)
bluetoothd[1267]: profiles/audio/avdtp.c:avdtp_connect_cb() connect to 74:65:0C:FF:FF:FF: Connection refused (111)

This was happening to me since 4 days ago with my Logitech K380 keyboard, It would stop working after every reboot. However I do not know how to solve the issue since I just installed Fedora Silverblue instead of Workstation and I’m not having the issue here.

Yes, that’s the cause
I thought I’ve tested rebooting, but it turns out I haven’t :joy:

I do not know what did you understand about my above comment but I did NOT suggest you to reboot. I’ve said I had the same problem with my keyboard every time I rebooted it would not work however I did not solve the issue, I just took the chance to switch from Workstation to Silverblue.

I mean I didn’t know how to reproduce the issue, just know that it happens quite frequently
I’ve tried to reproduce it, like manually disconnect it, connect it to my phone before connect it to the pc, etc.
it turns out rebooting can reproduce the issue
