I have to remove and resync my bluetooth headphones from Fedora Silverblue everyt ime I log back in. I’ve ran “bluetoothctl pair” and it sees it, connects and doesn’t pair? After I “remove” in the GUI settings page and then set my headphones up for pair mode, it’ll resync and lock in.
I’m actually having tons of other issues with Fedora Silverblue such as video/audio screensharing errors with Zoom; Google Chrome crashing non-stop and ridiculously slow when playing videos on Udemy; and Gnome Boxes also crashing literally non-stop.
Not sure if the Fedora team has shifted focus to the RedHat/IBM world at this point - so any pointers would be great. Thanks.
I’m using Fedora Silverblue and for the past nine (9) months that I’ve had Fedora (generally speaking) the bluetooth control for either BlueParrot and Beats and Bose Mini Speaker has not connected. I’ve gone from Fedora Workstation on Fedora 33 to Fedora Silverblue 33 then 34 to this most recent version of Gnome 40 and no matter what, I have to delete and connect the device after my computer is shut down and then most times, the device connects and it doesn’t appear in sounds. I try pairing it via the command line with bluetoothctl and it doesn’t work. I’m looking for graphical user interface (GUI) instructions on how to fix this and if those aren’t available very simple and easy to run commands with the knowledge that I’m inexperienced on Linux in general. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I asked you to check the Firmware? Did you check?
Type in terminal: fwupdmgr If Program is not available type: sudo dnf install fwupd
Please install in terminal sudo dnf install inxi
Then type inxi -Fzx and post the output here please.
Just that you know, i use Fedora since V 29 and upgraded till 32. I also had problems with Zoom and audio even with Bluetooth. As I installed Fedora 34 (pre release) on a external SSD over USB3 my problems have been gone.

Unfortunately, installing silverblue is likely to have the opposite impact. It will make debugging the types of issues you are having more difficult because of the isolation and the additional complexity. Additionally, there are far fewer people who are familiar with it to provide support.
It seems like you are under the impression that if you could talk to someone on the phone, it would help resolve your issue more quickly or more effectively. Given the nature of your issues, I don’t think this is the case. We would need to see the outputs from the commands and since your issues are somewhat obscure, having more people being able to see those outputs is much more likely to lead to a resolution than by getting a single person on the phone.
Err…for the record, that isn’t what was requested. If you are on silverblue, try this, you don’t need to be root.
Gothca, well staring at the computer screen for 16-18 hours a day for (what is now) months straight has really messed up my vision so I’m trying to find ways to not go blind at this point. it doesn’t matter okay so it looks like there’s a bunch of IDs in there which I don’t exactly want to send out in a public forum.
