Leap 15.2, doesn't accept Bluetooth speaker as default speaker
by phgruver from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5788Y)
I have a AMD FX 8-way processor with a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse, and a Bluetooth speaker. My system ran fine on Leap 14.x. Last week I upgraded to Leap 15.2, and am now having problems. The biggest problem is that the Bluetooth speaker won't auto connect, as the default speaker, to the upgraded system.
I verified that I had Bluetooth support installed, and I can connect to the speaker from the Bluetooth icon in the toolbar, but it doesn't show up as an option Settings -> SystemSettings -> Audio.
I have found a partial workaround. If I open a console window, and enter the command: "systemctl stop bluetooth", the system will connect to the speaker and use it for a while. BUT, if I walk away, for a few minutes, and the system goes to sleep, it disconnects. I don't understand why I have to disconnect to connect, and why it doesn't reconnect when I wake the system back up.
I need the speaker to connect, and stay connected, as long as the system is powered on. It worked in Leap 14.3, I need it to work in 15.2.
