ArchLinux "Failed to pair: org.bluez.Error.AlreadyExists"

Question

I attempted to connect to a device doing:

bluetoothctl
power on
agent on
default-agent
scan on

trust [device id]
pair [device id]

Which gave me the error: Failed to pair: org.bluez.Error.AlreadyExists

I wasn't able to find any other issues online with this error.

I then tried doing:

pulseaudio -k
pulseaudio --start

which failed, and I got the same error. I also tried rebooting. If you need anything else specified, please ask.

Answer 1

Failed to pair: org.bluez.Error.AlreadyExists this, seem to happen when you already have the device paired. You can probably just connect to it, or alternatively pair it again after you remove that device by typing

] remove [ some device id ]
