Since upgrading to Fedora 43, Solaar doesn't detect any unifying receivers after a reboot. Unplugging the receiver and re-attaching it after boot is completed restores it to full functionality. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reboot 2. Run solaar 3. Observe solaar not listing any receivers (although connected devices, in my case a logitech k400, still work, although without settings like fn-lock configuration) (see screenshot) 4. Unplug unifying receiver, re-plug in 5. Observe unifying receiver is detected (see screenshot)

This worked fine in Fedora 42. In case it's relevant, here's the technical details solaar yields for my reciever once it is detected after applying the unplug/replug workaround: Path : /dev/hidraw0 USB ID : 046d:C52B Serial : 0F7E9EA1 0 : 12.10.B0032 1 : 02.14 3 : AA.AA Notifications: wireless software present
I had the same experience with solaar and F43 - I did a reboot and did not have any mouse available. Solaar is apparently running but no icon displays in Gnome task bar and no apparent access to the UI. If I manually run solaar I see a message that solaar is already running and the UI will appear.
Update 18 Sept. Morning reboot on F43 Workstation beta - no problems with Solaar and mouse.
