Since the upgrade to Plasma 6, Bluetooth on KDE has been disabled at each login, despite its setting to enable it at each login.
Bug report submitted: 1223405 – Bluetooth disabled at each login since upgrade to Plasma 6
Plasma 6 has troubles with Bluetooth. Wait for updates.
Is this a common issue or just for some chipsets? Because I don’t have any issue with bluetooth. I’m using a (probably chinese, as it’s unbranded) cheap USB dongle as well but it has the RTL8761BU chipset, which seems to be common.
epp, do you have this package installed?

Connecting bluetooth was consistently hit or miss (and mostly miss) in Tumbleweed with Plasma 5 before I installed it. Even so: bluetooth has occasionally failed to come up on boot in both Plasma 5 and Plasma 6, for reasons unknown. I live with the bug, as I can tinker with settings to get it to start.
That package is not installed.
On this particular bootup (cold boot), Bluetooth came up enabled, in which I will continue to monitor. I did not have any issues with Bluetooth on Plasma 5.
The Bluetooth dongles I have are from Techkey and Kinivo, both have the Broadcom BCM20702A chip, Bluetooth 4.0. There is a GitHub repo with firmware and RPM packages for this particular chip, along with a few others.
