Bluetooth stopped working with plasma6 upgrade?

Not quite sure when the problem popped up, but I am thinking the timing most likely lines up with the plasma6 update. Ive had issues in the past with BT becoming unusable and all my old tricks didnt seem to help.

To rekick off bluetooth I have a script that unloads and reloads bt as this was the solution when I had experienced similar problems in the past.

sudo rmmod btusb
sudo rmmod btintel

sudo modprobe btintel
sudo modprobe btusb

This script successfully worked in the past to get BT working again. And it kind of does still but after the BT device becomes available it immediatelly crashes (I see the bluetooth icon become available in the task bar and then immediately goes away. It will also briefly connect to a device at that time before it crashes as well).

Along with that I have tried reinstalling the various bluetooth modules through zypper but nothing as of yet has seemed to be able to resolve the issue this time.

Bluetooth became disabled upon the 5 → 6 upgrade.

What worked for me (once re-enabling it), was to delete all of the paired devices, reboot the system, then re-pair the devices anew.

Thanks @epp that worked. Had rebooted before but didnt think about deleting the devices as well.
