[Bug 1557298] [NEW] [Xenial][Bluez5] Low Energy Keyboard is paired incorrectly

 

Public bug reported:

Failed to pair low energy(bluetooth smart, 4.0 or 4.1) devices
correctly.

1. bluetooth smart mouse is being listed as "all type" in bluetooth-
wizard, however it is able to be paired and use, even repair(i'm
mentioning this because in some circumstance low energy device can be
only paired once, bug #1515179)

2. bluetooth smart keyboard is unable to use after bluetooth-wizard says
"OK". Also the passcode input is also not acting interactively like when
pairing with bluetooth 3.0 keyboard.

Above scenario also being verified with bluetoothctl and blueman.

More details about versions:

Environment:
xenial daily (20160307)
bluez 5.37-0ubuntu5
gnome-bluetooth 3.18.2-1ubuntu2
blueman  2.0.3-1ubuntu1
bluetooth controller 0cf3:e005 Atheros Communications, Inc. (hci version: 4.1)

Tested devices:
Designer Mouse, bluetooth smart (pairable, work, re-pair work)
Designer Keyboard, bluetooth smart (paired, not working)
BT3.0 keyboard, bluetooth classic (pair and work)
BT3.0 mouse, bluetooth classic (pair and work)

-
In control environment with the same hardware system and devices:
trusty 14.04.1 + dist-upgrade (stay with 3.13 kernel)
bluez5 5.35 (ppa: https://launchpad.net/~vidplace7/+archive/ubuntu/bluez5)

It works with all above devices but can only be pairing through
bluetoothctl, since the older bluetooth-wizard does not understand bluez
5.x. Everything seems works fine, although there are a lot more error
messages, but since this bug is more about xenial, please let me know if
we need more information about this, I'm able to reproduce this trusty
scenario in anytime.

Additional note:
A little clarification, since I'm not sure how far the Bluetooth SIG is going to use Bluetooth Smart(Low Energy, or even Smart-Ready) to cover the versioning, I decided to just use what ever I saw on the product box.
