Bluetooth keyboard stops working in lightdm session

[djaeris]

What Happened?

When using a Bluetooth keyboard, previously paired via Settings, the keyboard will disconnect upon next login attempt (after starting up the computer), or when trying to login after screen lock. Any attempt to reconnect, either via the keyboard or via the Bluetooth indicator will fail.

Journal says:

okt 08 15:00:00 aerisbase bluetoothd[939]: Authentication attempt without agent okt 08 15:00:00 aerisbase bluetoothd[939]: profiles/input/server.c:auth_callback() Access denied: org.bluez.Error.Rejected (Repeats several times)

I tried to connect the keyboard via USB (to somehow get inside), the system did see the (new) keyboard:

But: lightdm became frozen and after a coffee break did start to behave normally (I was able to login). I am not sure if it is related, but journal displayed around hundred lines of

okt 08 15:03:11 aerisbase pulseaudio[200838]: Warning! Too many connections (64), dropping incoming connection.

Followed by:

The last line is repeated around 15 times.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Pair a Bluetooth keyboard with the system.
2. Lock the screen (e.g. using Meta-L).
3. Try to unlock the session…

Expected Behavior

You should be able to type in the password, but nothing will happen.
