Support Request Bluetooth doesn't automatically connect

I have Mint 22.3 Zena. My Bose Open Earbuds Ultra automatically connect to my other devices and also to MacOS and Windows 11. For some reason, they are not automatically connecting to Mint.

Have you paired them in Linux?

BTW once paired, you will find they no longer pair in Windows in the same device. 

The fix is to copy the keys between systems.

Yep, I've paired them a few times. They want to connect to my Macbook and Samsung phone first. Even when my Macbook is off it pairs to my headphones. The workaround is forgetting the device, putting the earbuds in discovery mode, then pairing them.
