[Bug 1779289] Re: [regression] bluetooth mouse not reconnected on reboot

[Sebastien Bacher]

We believe that should be fixed by those commits

* https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-bluetooth/commit/e807cbd8
 client: Fix bluetooth_client_set_trusted() not working 

(that would probably explain the LinkKey section missing from the
config)

* https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-bluetooth/commit/4f1e0b35
' lib: Always try to pair pointer devices '

Those fixes are in 3.32 in disco and I've uploaded a bionic SRU now
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/418989286/gnome-bluetooth_3.28.0-2ubuntu0.2_source.changes

(the SRU needs to be reviewed/accepted next)

** Description changed:

+ * Impact
+ Bluetooth pointer devices are not always correctly paired, which leads to have them failing to connect or not auto-reconnecting
+ 
+ *  Test case
+ Pair a bluetooth mouse, it should re-connect automatically after suspend/resume or reboot cycles
+ 
+ * Regression potential
+ The change makes all devices go through pairing with the standard code that should work fine but we should keep an eye if it confuses some devices and lead to prompt for a PIN when that shouldn't be needd

+ The behavior is that initial config when using the gui works but that the resulting
  "/var/lib/bluetooth/<controler mac>/<device mac>/info" file does not contain a [LinkKey] section as the mouse does not require a pin.
  This mouse was connection on reboot under 16.04 so it's a new bug for 18.04
  
  When setting up the mouse using bluetoothctl the info file is correctly
  written with a [LinkKey] section and everything works,
