This script worked flawlessly for me using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Windows 10.

[AlexRedby]

I was able to pair Dualshock 4, Dualsense 5 and WH-1000XM4 using Arch Linux v.5.18.1 and Windows 10 v.21H2.

I was able to pair my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones and Logitec K380 keyboard with Fedora 36 and Windows 10 22H2.

I'm using Fedora Silverblue 37 and Windows 10 (I'll update the version shortly). I was ultimately unsuccessful with using the script. First, the script crashed because evidently the info file for my Logitech MX Master 3S does not contain the LinkKey key. Not sure what this means, but I removed it as a bluetooth device and was able to proceed.

The issue that ultimately prevented me from was this:

WARNING: Following devices paired on Windows for multiple BT-adapters: <headphone mac>

I do have two bluetooth adapters in my desktop; one is built-in to the motherboard and scarcely works, the other is an external one that I use. Indeed, my headphones have been, at different times, connected to each. I tried just about everything, but could not figure out how to get this error to go away. I wound up extracting the key by hand.

Worked perfectly on EndeavourOS (Arch-based) Cassini and Windows 10 22H2. The devices were Beats Solo Pro and Beats Flex. Worked with both of them.

Thanks man. Appreciate it.

Remember to license the program.

Actually I'm trying it with Garuda Linux and Windows 11 (last updates) and it doesn't work at all. The device (a bluetooth sound bar "creative stage air") is going to be recognised properly, it reports I need to sync it. I do the command "--sync-all -n", it seems has worked correctly but the device do not connect. I tried a reboot but still not working.
Any suggestions? Could be an Arch linux issue, or maybe Windows 11?

I so far have not got it working with Linux Mint LMDE 5, which is based on debian bullseye.

sudo pip install bt-dualboot produces some graphical messages about wanting to set up kde-wallet, and then complains about the lack of a signing key.

In the terminal, it looks like so:

mc0e@laptop ~ $ sudo pip install bt-dualboot
[sudo] password for mc0e:       
WARNING: Keyring is skipped due to an exception: Failed to open keyring: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken..

Successfully installed bt-dualboot-1.0.1

I tried running it anyway. I first got a complaint saying ERROR: Missing dependency `reged`. Install `chntpw` package first., so I installed chntpw. I then tried again, and it looked like so:

mc0e@laptop ~ $ sudo bt-dualboot -l
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise NoSectionError(section) from None

I then uninstalled an re-installed bt-dualboot. This time I selected the blowfish encryption for kde-wallet. It wanted a password, and while I was doing that, the bt-dualboot install script failed with the same warning message about the keyring. Still, I completed setting up the password for the wallet. I then uninstalled and re-installed bt-dualboot again, and it did not complain. Trying to run sudo bt-dualboot -l still fails with the same message.

[mc0e]

I think the issue is not about the OS, but rather that I have a file in /var/lib/bluetooth/*/*/info which does not have a LinkKey section. It's a PineTime smart-watch.

I'll open an issue.

[simon-harries]

Worked for me on Fedora 38 / Windows 10 with a Logitech K380 keyboard once I specified the Windows mount path.
Probably my fault for using the Files app in GNOME to mount the Windows partition.
This was my working command:
sudo bt-dualboot --sync-all -b --win /run/media/simonharries/Windows/

Only thing I would note is I didn't receive any error messages to suggest things hadn't worked when using:
sudo bt-dualboot --sync-all -b

When I forget about G603 device, bt-dualboot -l lists devices correctly (Sennheiser BT 4.40 only), but I have not tried proceeding further yet.

I'm attaching info file from /var/lib/bluetooth:
