Re: What could cause pairing to fail when bluetoothctl is not running?

[John Klug <John.Klug@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe I need to create a pairing AgentManager, even though I don't use one?

I see that bluetoothctl causes some D-Bus transactions that may be relevant:

signal time=1661551309.565274 sender=:1.49 -> destination=(null destination) serial=27 path=/; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager; member=InterfacesAdded
   object path "/org/bluez/agent"
   array [
      dict entry(
         string "org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable"
         array [
         ]
      )
      dict entry(
         string "org.bluez.Agent1"
         array [
         ]
      )
   ]

method call time=1661551309.566053 sender=:1.49 -> destination=org.bluez serial=28 path=/org/bluez; interface=org.bluez.AgentManager1; member=RegisterAgent
   object path "/org/bluez/agent"
   string ""

method return time=1661551309.587789 sender=:1.49 -> destination=:1.1 serial=30 reply_serial=1096
   array [
      dict entry(
         object path "/org/bluez/agent"
         array [
            dict entry(
               string "org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable"
               array [
               ]
            )
            dict entry(
               string "org.bluez.Agent1"
               array [
               ]
            )
         ]
      )
   ]
