kde's bluedevil-wizard is not paring, and is timing out (dbus issue?)

bluedevil-wizard
bluedevil.wizard: Manager initialized
bluedevil.wizard: Initialize Discover Page
bluedevil.wizard: Starting scanning
org.kde.bluez: PendingCall Error: “Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.”

I rebooted now it works…

I am having this same issue again after some time. Any idea on how to fix it?

Anyone have an idea?

Greetings,

Can you tell me a little more about your system? I am curious to know something about the hardware:

bt-adapter -i

You may have to install bluez-tools

sudo zypper install bluez-tools

Truthfully, I am not sure yet how and what adjustments need to be made but if I compare your configuration to mine, maybe we can work our way through it. My Bluetooth has been problem free.

Also, what desktop environment are you using?

Thanks!
