Keep having to pair my headphones (are the settings being lost on upgrades?)

[aral]

Describe the bug

I keep finding that Silverblue (latest as of a few days ago) keeps forgetting my paired headphones (Beats Powerbeats Pro).

To Reproduce

I believe it happens after upgrades. The paired device is no longer seen in the quick access Bluetooth menu in the system bar and I have to pair it again.

Expected behavior

Silverblue should not forget bluetooth pairings unless told to do so.

Additional context

I’ll try and reproduce at the next update and confirm that that’s what’s causing it.

Just wanted to confirm that I just ran an update and the Bluetooth pairings are gone so I’m pretty sure it’s the updates that are doing it.

You might want to report that issue upstream to get more eyes on it. Not sure that it's Silverblue specific.

Is this still an issue on Fedora Silverblue 39? Thanks

[aral]

@travier Yes, it’s still an issue.

1. I had my Powerbeats Pros paired and it was showing up in the quick access menu and I could connect and disconnect without issue.
2. I ran today’s system updates, restarted.
3. The headphones are no longer paired.

It might be an issue in bluez or pipewire. Would be best to file an issue there.

Hi there, Sorry, I don’t know the code well enough to file a report in either of those places. As far as someone who uses Fedora Silverblue is concerned, the OS forgets their paired bluetooth devices on every update so it’s a Fedora Silverblue bug. It would be very helpful to perhaps have a process where the person from the team who is responsible for the particular area in general can follow bugs that original upstream. Aral

I am having the same issue, paired headphones disappear after each reboot and need to be paired.
