Debian based:$ sudo update-alternatives --config editorFedora based: $ export EDITOR=vim $ sudo visudo /etc/sudoers
Add timestamp_timeout after env_reset:

Now bash will remember for 40 minutes.
0 means always ask passwd, disable passwd forever set to -1.
So my XM3 unable to connect when I change OS at boot (Win10 vs Debian11).
Short version (all in superuser, su or sudo):
$ bluetoothctl$ devices (this will print macaddresses)$ remove xx:11:22....$service bluetooth restart
Description:Some bluetooth device don't like pairing associated by same MAC address. Remove and repair bluetooth.
I installed Debian 11 but sometimes got connection error. Now I provide a simple solution to fix it in case the following:
sap-server: Operation not permitted (1)
At first the SAP stands for SIM Access Profile.
With vim edit "/etc/systemd/system/bluetooth.target.wants/bluetooth.service"
At line ExecStart=/usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd add the following:
--noplugin=sap
Like this:
ExecStart=/usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd --noplugin=sap
Now restart:
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo service bluetooth restart
$ sudo service bluetooth status
You're becoming a happy user who able to connect to your Sony headphone.

I have a Garmin ForeRunner 945 sport watch. I like it worked everything fine until I had an idea to leave Windows for Linux. I become a happy Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.2 User.
Of course Garmin has no official Express for Linux but I installed a VirtualBox with Windows. I think this should work I would like to sync a weekly in OS, maybe software update etc..., not just phone.
But as other guys on the Internet I met the followings "Garmin Express not working in Windows 10/VirtualBox" :(
I spent two weeks to find a solution in a random forum:
"
To install the Media Feature Pack, navigate to Settings > Apps > Apps and Features > Optional Features > Add a Feature and find the Media Feature Pack in the list of available Optional Features
"
grrrrr, I was angry and happy...
Add new user to sudoers:
$ vi /etc/sudoers
username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL To request password remove NOPASSWD:
username ALL=(ALL) ALL
Little bit late tonight, but I promise to you I'm going to explain the details:
Quick steps:
$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/$USER/GarminExpress winetricks d3dcompiler_47 dotnet472 vcrun2010 corefonts
$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/$USER/GarminExpress winetricks win7
$ WINEPREFIX=/home/$USER/GarminExpress wine-stable explorer /desktop=garmin,1366x768 /home/$USER/Downloads/GarminExpress.exe
This works with the latest version Garmin Express 7.1.0.0.
Have a nice day.
