Thanks Sebastien. I already know uninstalling blueman doesn't help as I
did install it exactly because I couldn't connect to the bluetooth
device with gnome-control-center. I was pretty surprised to see it
worked.
bluetoothctl behaves exactly like blueman-manager: does not work if
gnome-control-center is open on the Bluetooth section, does work
otherwise. This is the failure message:
Attempting to connect to 00:22:D9:00:1A:6F
Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed
I'll reboot before collecting the full `journalctl -b 0` log you
requested, so you'll get a cleaner log.

Title:
Can't connect to paired bluetooth devices via g-c-c; works with
blueman
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I have a paired bluetooth device listed as "Disconnected" in the
Bluetooth section of gnome-control-center. In order to connect to it I
click on the device name and switch the "Connection" slider to the
"on" position. The slider moves but immediately bounces back to the
"off" position, and nothing happens: the connection is not
established. It never works even if I try several times.
This happens on an up-to-date Focal system and it's always
reproducible across reboots and power cycles of the device. I don't
think it's a problem of the device itself or of the underlying
bluetooth stack, as connecting/disconnecting to the device works
perfectly if I use bluetooth-manager instead of gnome-control-center.
I don't know if this is a regression as I was not using bluetooth before
installing Focal. FWIW (very little), the device connects/disconnects perfectly
to Android phones.
