I don't even have any /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf. I did pair, trust and connect with bluetoothctl. Are you using bluetooth5 -- I never had these problems till the upgrade to 5. The device is pretty close to the computer and it does show up on the scan from hcitool. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it?
