Issue 46 looks similar error

[Martim-Sensefinity]

I downgraded bluetoothctl to 5.66 and works.

The version number is suggested in: bluez.org/download I followed the following tutorial: askubuntu.com

Reboot was required.

I'm also experiencing the same error on Arch Linux.

Looks like it's similar issue reported on other repo. https://github.com/bluez/bluez/issues/821

I can confirm this is an issue with BlueZ 5.75 on Fedora 39. It appears to be an upstream bug, so I'll wait until they've investigated the issue. Thanks @webcaptcha for pointing to the upstream bug report!

Looks like the bug has been found and a fix submitted, so hopefully this will be fixed in the next BlueZ version. (In the meantime I hope we can find a workaround for this bug!)

[aykevl]

This is fixed in BlueZ 5.75 (tested on Fedora 40). I don't think there's anything to fix here from our side, so closing.
