Here is what happened
bluetoothctl

[bluetooth]# scan on

[bluetooth]# power on
Changing power on succeeded
[bluetooth]# agent on

Hard blocked: noYou can’t start a scan, because a scan is already in progress. I ran into this a couple of days ago myself.
Probably is KDE Bluetooth that is no giving me results unlike normally.
Very likely. You can, in bluetoothctl, execute a scan off and then scan on and you should see this:
[bluetooth]# scan off
Discovery stopped
[bluetooth]# scan on
Discovery started
[bluetooth]# scan on
Failed to start discovery: org.bluez.Error.InProgress
[bluetooth]#
I’m running GNOME, so if I don’t turn the scan off and I have the bluetooth settings up (where I can see it’s scanning for devices), then I get that “InProgress” error before doing a scan off.
[bluetooth]# scan off
Failed to stop discovery: org.bluez.Error.FailedTry reviewing the service as root
systemctl status bluetooth
Check if that says it’s running or some other message. If it’s disabled simply start it with
systemctl start bluetooth
and later try to do the commands inside bluetoothctl but first issue the power on.
It is running
Then there should not be more issues, simply try it to pair with the bluetoothctl with power on at first or try to do it with blueman-applet
Some error persits
Looks like it’s just something to do with how KDE handles bluetooth. The errors you’re seeing aren’t really “errors”, just a return status saying that the scan is running already. KDE may somehow be blocking attempts to turn the scan off.
Even worse I have the kde scan window closed.
It’s entirely possible that KDE continues scanning in the background. But you’ll have to wait for someone who knows how KDE’s subsystem works to understand if you actually have an issue or not. It’s likely you do not.
Not all “errors” mean something’s broken.
Can you try power off, power on, scan on?
You can restart bluetooth using:
sudo modprobe btusb
sudo systemctl restart bluetooth
If you then run in to the scan error still, check the journal for warnings/errors:
sudo journalctl -b | grep bluetoothd
sudo journalctl -b | grep bluetoothd

You have these lines, I do not see them. Searching for this might gives more debug clues.
How about the history of this problem? Was bluetooth working before, if so after what did the problem occur?
Was working perfectly in my original install, though not tested in last updates. After OS reinstall (i perserved my /home) , and install amd propietary drivers, virt-manager, virtualbox. podman. and other tools that did not give problems the first time.

Are you having trouble connecting devices to your system via Bluetooth? Perhaps troubleshooting that issue would be more productive.
Just a general comment here.
I have a bluetooth mouse, that I purchased in 2010 or 2011. I used it briefly with my laptop from that era. As I recall, it was tricky getting things working. But it worked well, once I had it configured.
I stopped using that mouse not too long after, because I preferred a logitech wireless (not bluetooth) mouse.
I recently acquired a new desktop, which came with bluetooth support. So I got out that old bluetooth mouse for testing.
It was very easy to setup. I right-clicked on the bluetooth icon in the tray – this click was using a different mouse). It immediately identified my mouse as available. All I had to do was select it (and maybe another click or two).
So yes, KDE had already scanned for the device and found it, before I wanted to connect. I did not need to put it into scanning mode.
I’ll note that the mouse is working well, but I will probably go back to a wireless (but not bluetooth) mouse.
(edit to add): my desktop is running Leap 15.5.
