Public bug reported:

I've Bose QuietComfort 35 II bluetooth headphones/headset that I've been
using with Ubuntu for several years now.  Since I upgraded to Ubuntu
24.10 yesterday, the headset refuses to connect to Ubuntu until I pair
it again, every time.

This is how things worked with 24.04 LTS:

- I turn on the headset, it plays a little "I'm on" trill
- the headset autoconnects to my phone and plays a little "I'm connected trill"
- the headset autoconnects to my laptop and plays a little "I'm connected 
trill" (this was sometimes delayed by a few tens seconds, so sometimes I sped 
things up by running a shell script to `bluetoothctl connect 
$headset_mac_address`)
- I can now play sounds through the headset

This is how thigs go with 24.10:

- I turn on the headset, it plays a little "I'm on" trill
- the headset autoconnects to my phone and plays a little "I'm connected trill"
- the second connection never comes through
- I run `bluetoothctl connect $headset_mac_address` and I get

    Attempting to connect to 60:AB:D2:43:49:4D
    [CHG] Device 60:AB:D2:43:49:4D Connected: yes
    Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed br-connection-unknown

- I open the Bose Connect app on my phone to look at the list of connections.  
It shows my phone and nothing else.  It should be showing my laptop ("blynas") 
under History, and it used to do that before the upgrade.
- I click "Connect new..." in the phone app (or pull and hold the button on the 
headset itself to put it in pairing mode), I hear a "ready to be paired" trill, 
I run `bluetooth connect $headset_mac_address` again (or click connect in 
gnome-control-center), and it connects fine.  I can play music and everything.  
"blynas" is shown in the Current list of connected devices

- I turn off the headset, I turn it back on
- the headset autoconnects to both the phone and the laptop, because I'm 
intentionally trying to reproduce the bug, so of course it won't bug.

Previously, whenever I turned the headset on after turning it off for a
longer span of time, I had to do the 'Connect new...' thing.

BTW once I tried to tell gnome-control-center to forget the headset,
then paired it fresh, which got me a fresh new LinkKey in
/var/lib/bluetooth/, and things worked fine until another turn-off-wait-
hours-turn-on-oh-hey-what-is-this-new-laptop-I-don't-know-her-do-the-
pairing-dance-again-please.

(I keep track of the link key changes because I have a Windows 10
partition on this machine and I sometimes boot it, so I need to keep the
link key synchronized between Ubuntu and the Windows registry, otherwise
the headset will work only in one of the two OSes.  However I haven't
booted Windows in months if not years, so this should not be relevant.)
