From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

While trying to test this on my system, I came across a few issues. I found a more modern and standardized way to check for login after sleep, and have updated my previous comment with a new script. I have new instructions though that are more comprehensive that you can follow.
Create 2 files
bluetooth-reconnect.sh
andbluetooth-reconnect.service
. Using your favorite text editor, edit these files so they will contain the following:bluetooth-reconnect.sh
bluetooth-reconnect.service
Open a terminal in whatever location you created them (you can right click in your file manager and open in terminal, or use
cd
to navigate). Now move them to the correct locations (you will need sudo privilege for this):Make the script executable:
Enable and start the service:
Check to make sure the service started correctly (the "Active:" field should say "active (running)" in green).
This should now do everything automatically. This has been tested and is working on my Fedora Workstation system (uses GNOME). This should be distro independent, unlike my previous answer (and also without the syntax error I had in my initial submission).
To uninstall:
Dude this is amazing. Working like a charm and I love linux even more because of you <3 Such a straightforward guide. Have a wonderful day my friend!
One of the wonderful things about Linux is that if something isn't working, you can just make it work! Also, if you ever need to make a simple service to run a script on boot, you know how now; it can be very useful. Always happy to help though, enjoy your journey through Linux!
