Bluetootth not reconnecting after reboot

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware
1

I have a raspberry pi 5 with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Both of these work when I pair trust and connect them. However, after a reboot neither of them work. The error messages that I get are

[david@desktop ~]$ bluetoothctl connect F4:73:35:41:C1:EB
Attempting to connect to F4:73:35:41:C1:EB
Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed br-connection-create-socket
[david@desktop ~]$ bluetoothctl connect FA:3B:19:DE:F7:D2
Attempting to connect to FA:3B:19:DE:F7:D2
Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed le-connection-abort-by-local
[david@desktop ~]$

Another error that I have seen in journalctl is

Unable to set wake_support without RPA resolution

I also have a cron job that is supposed to connect the bluetooth devices at reboot but it doesn’t. I have included the relevant journalctl log but if you need any more information then please ask.

try
systemctl enable bluetooth-autoconnect

Hi, I’ve already tried that and it didn’t work.

Hello, I have fixed this problem. What I did was remove all of the devices from the bluetooth app on the taskbar and then made sure that they had gone with bluetoothctl. Then I deleted everything under /var/lib/bluetooth. I then restarted the bluetooth service and then did a reboot and both the bluetooth keyboard and mouse connected fine. I did a reboot and both of the bluetooth devices reconnected fine again. I then did a shutdown and power on and both of the devices connected again fine. When I looked at journalctl for bluetooth I noticed two new lines, they are

hid-generic 0005:046D:B01F.0001: input,hidraw0: BLUETOOTH HID v0.03 Keyboard [MX Anywhere 2] on d8:3a:dd:a4:14:cb

hid-generic 0005:046D:B342.0002: input,hidraw1: BLUETOOTH HID v42.01 Keyboard [Keyboard K380] on d8:3a:dd:a4:14:cb

I don’t know if these two extra lines indicate anything.

I am marking this as SOLVED.
