Affects 16.04 with Bluez 5.37. I am on an ARM64 dev board. For me, when I try pairing an apple keyboard or an amazon basics keyboard using the GNOME bluetooth UI ; I do not see the pin code displayed.
Starting bluetooth with bluetooth -d -n in debug mode; I see the pin it tries to display. If I type that pin; the bluetooth pair succeeds. But this is horrible as it requires me to peek into the bluetooth debug logs to find the pin and the gnome bluetooth pairing window doesn't display this pin code. Logs: bluetoothd[14817]: src/agent.c:agent_display_pincode() Calling Agent.DisplayPinCode: name=:1.148, path=/org/bluez/agent/gnome, pincode=815447 bluetoothd[14817]: Agent replied with an error: org.bluez.Error.Rejected, Rejected bluetoothd generated PIN code. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1490347 Title: [Regression] 16:04 + 15:10 - Cannot pair with devices using (legacy LMP Link Management Protocol) PIN codes Status in Bluez Utilities: New Status in OEM Priority Project: New Status in OEM Priority Project xenial series: New Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in bluez source package in Wily: Triaged Status in bluez source package in Xenial: Confirmed Bug description: Bluez 5.3 does not have support for pairing with devices (such as keyboards) that use a PIN code for pairing. A mouse pairs correctly. From my research it seems as if the ChromeOS project developed patches to fix this and they are supposed to have been included in Bluez 5.4 (that statement dated April 2013) but I've not yet identified them. "The agent's implementation in bt_console/bluetoothctl upstream is incomplete, missing some functions like DisplayPincode." https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=222661 Along with the loss of Headset profiles meaning VoIP applications can no longer use HSP/HFP profiles (requiring functionality yet to land in Ofono) this cripples the use of Bluetooth for much else than A2DP or mouse input. Attempting to pair with, for example, an Apple Wireless Keyboard that pairs and works correctly with 14.04 LTS, fails totally on 15.10. The mouse shown below is already paired, connected, and working. $ bluetoothctl [NEW] Controller 00:1F:3A:E0:0A:AF hephaestion.lan.iam.tj [default] [NEW] Device 00:0A:95:4B:BD:C2 Apple Wireless Keyboard [NEW] Device 00:07:61:3B:86:98 Bluetooth Travel Mouse [bluetooth]# agent on Agent registered [bluetooth]# default-agent Default agent request successful [bluetooth]# scan on Discovery started [CHG] Controller 00:1F:3A:E0:0A:AF Discovering: yes [CHG] Device 00:0A:95:4B:BD:C2 LegacyPairing: yes [CHG] Device 00:0A:95:4B:BD:C2 RSSI: -48 [bluetooth]# pair 00:0A:95:4B:BD:C2 Attempting to pair with 00:0A:95:4B:BD:C2 >>> at this point nothing is happening >>> so I press Enter on the keyboard and...
