Trying to pair JBL Tour Pro 3 earbuds results in a system crash

English Install/Boot/Login

I really dont have much to go off of but here is what I know,

KDE pairing wizard times out and says unsucessful, about a minute or two later the entire system freezes except for the cursor, after about 10 seconds my monitors turn off and back and and the system resumes for about 2 seconds and then the system freezes completely and I have to do a hard reboot.

Information on these earbuds is pretty sparse so I was not sure what was going wrong or what I needed to install

That doesn’t sound good. FWIW, a similar earlier report…

A Manjaro thread descrbing the same…

Did you search for any existing KDE bug reports yet?

For now you could use bluetoothctl perhaps…

The first report above, was mine. Blueman didn’t work as expected. I was hoping that only it would see the Bluetooth connection and not the KDE software, but both detected the connection, even though I paired with Blueman (which has since been uninstalled).

324 bugs mentioning Bluetooth at KDE:

turns out the crash was unrelated, because when i did the same thing again nothing happened. I did get it to pair through bluetoothctl though.
