enter code hereI am running Ubuntu 20. I have a bluetooth dongle that I successfully set to work with my Magic Mouse and my headphones using bluetoothctl
Everything has been working very well. Today, my headphones (Bose QC35) stopped receiving the sound. I wiped the paired connections on the phone, removed them from bluetoothclt and set about repairing. However now I only get the error "Failed to pair: org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationFailed". How can I solve this? Restarting pulseaudio, and rebooting the machine didn't help.
Here is the trace from using bluetoothclt:
