Re: [orca-list] bluetooth headsets and ubuntu mate?

[Rastislav Kish <rastislav kish protonmail com>]

Hey there,

nope, but I got another issue, after pairing my headphones, they were
not connecting at all!

IDK why, as it has certainly worked before, but after a day of
searching, I got a solution:

sudo bluetoothctl <<<"connect 20:74:CF:13:55:3A"


Where the number sequence is the device's mac address. If you're not
sure what's the address of your device, you can use:

bt-device -l


To list the paired devices and their respective addresses.

Though you'll probably need to install bluez-tools package before
running it.


After initiating the first command, the headphones are now connecting
automatically. I need to run it only when adding a new device.


Best regards


Rastislav
