Public bug reported: The device is shown, but right clicking, then selecting "Connect" will try to connect to device. The connection will time out.
Since this worked (and works) with (x)Ubuntu 20.04.x (18.04.x) I assume it a bug with (x)Ubuntu 21.10. It even worked, but not reliable, with (x)Ubuntu 21.04 -- i had to try more than once to pair devices. Before migrating from 21.04 to 21.10 I could pair these devices. After upgrading to 21.10 this does not work anymore at all. I've tried it with live systems from - openSUSE tumbleweed: works (bluez 5.61, blueberry 1.4.4) - fedora 35: works (bluez 5.61, blueberry 1.4.4) - Ubuntu 20.04: does not pair any device: host is down (bluez 5.53, blueman 2.1.2) - Ubuntu 21.04: works (bluez 5.56, blueman 2.1.4) - Ubuntu 21.10: works (bluez 5.60, blueman 2.2.2) - Ubuntu 21.10 latest updates applied: does not pair most devices (bluez 5.60, blueman 2.2.2) Upgrading bluez to 5.61 and blueman to 2.2.3 makes it work again.
