Laptop paired as device

[Dreamsorcerer]

I paired a laptop, but it shows as 'Paired' rather than 'Paired Host'. When I click the connect button, it connects to the laptop, then outputs (in CLI) 'Operation currently not available' and disconnects again.

The first laptop I paired works correctly though, so not sure why this one has paired incorrectly, I followed the same steps for both, and both are running Ubuntu 20.04.

My phone is producing the same result as well. It seems like only the first paired laptop works as a host...

The bluez devices for the 2 not working look like:

It seems to be able to tell it is a computer, as the icon is set to 'computer'.

Over the weekend it seems to have forgotten my first laptop. After pairing again, it's no longer a host, just like the other 2.
I now have exactly 0 devices that the RPi will send events to.

Maybe a bit late, but any updates on this problem?

[Dreamsorcerer]

I put a fix in for this several months ago, so everything should be working fine now.
