Annoying Bluetooth Issue

So. Last night I ran a live session of the new Debian 13 KDE edition, just to see how well my old laptop would cope with basic tasks in Wayland.  For the heck of it I paired my bluetooth headphones with Trixie and now they won't connect on BL.  I tried unpairing them, but now blueman can't even see them.  I'm using the bluetooth libs for pipewire.  If that's any use

You need to forget/delete the old connection in blueman, then search for the connection again and create a new pairing.

I don't care what you do at home. Would you care to explain?

Re: Annoying Bluetooth Issue

This is a procedure I used to set up my Bluetooth - it's for Boron / Deb 12, not Trixie / Wayland, but should be similar - maybe it's of some use to you.

I ended up reinstalling the whole system again.

Re: Annoying Bluetooth Issue

Been there before - personally, I've learned much of what I know about Linux through borking the system one way or another, then starting over. Kind of a rite of passage.
