Subject: Connecting to Bose Headphones crashes Gnome

Date: Wed, 07 Jan 2026 16:56:47 +0100

Package: bluez
Version: 5.85-3
Severity: serious
File: /usr/libexec/bluetooth/bluetoothd
X-Debbugs-Cc: venthur@debian.org

Turning my Bose QC45 headphones on, gnome crashes consistently just after the
connection to the computer is made. I'm greeted with GDM login and after logging
in again, everything works as expected unless I turn the headphones off and on
again when Gnome will crash again.

Here's a relevant journalctl output:
