Bug ID: 507232
Summary: System Settings confused about multiple adapters,
falsely reports inability to connect
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.4.2
Reported In:
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Bluetooth in general

Example picture of the error in question, with two devices being discovered in
the meantime
SUMMARY
When using a device with multiple bluetooth adapters the System Settings get
confused once you disable one or more, reporting Bluetooth not to work in the
"Add Device" window.
Users can happily ignore that warning message since it will indeed discover
devices using another adapter. However it causes great confusion, especially if
you want to use a specific adapter (there's no way to select one, you have to
disable all the others to force it using the active one).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add 2 or more Bluetooth adapters to your system
2. Deactivate at least one of them, but leave at least one active for usage
3. Open the "Add Device" page
OBSERVED RESULT
Spawns false error message about Bluetooth being unusable.
EXPECTED RESULT
Should only warn you if every single adapter is offline.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: OpenSuse Tumbleweed (20250714)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.16.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This issue correlates with a UI/UX problem, as it's not possible to select the
used adapter outside of disabling every single other adapter to force usage of
a specific one. Meanwhile the Bluetooth tray icon will show the used adapter
for each connected device, implying there should be a way to control it.
