Package: bluez Version: 5.49-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? Trying to make a BT mouse work. Your documentation did NOT help. The mouse was reported and I could connect it but mouse was not responsive. I found https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth#GNOME_Bluetooth instead. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I run the commands from Arch Linux in bluetoothctl console and then my mouse started working. But not for long. On the next reconnect of this mouse it was dead. * What was the outcome of this action? Mouse was NO LONGER WORKING. When I moved it, I got this pointless messages in bluetoothctl console. And no hint WTF is going on.

When I run it, it asked me again for some confirmation, I had to enter "yes" again, and then the mouse started working again. Looks like this (although covered with the stupid spam from above).

That it remembers what i told it before and makes it work again on the next reconnect. Do I have to run this action every time? SERIOUSLY? Open the console and run bluetoothctl and default-agent command? -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.15.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages bluez depends on: ii dbus 1.12.6-2 ii kmod 25-1 ii libasound2 1.1.3-5 ii libc6 2.27-3 ii libdbus-1-3 1.12.6-2 ii libdw1 0.170-0.3 ii libglib2.0-0 2.56.0-6 ii libreadline7 7.0-3 ii libudev1 238-4 ii lsb-base 9.20170808 ii udev 238-4 bluez recommends no packages.
