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

 

Can pair with the Designer keyboard however it is not connected thus it
is impossible to use it for typing, etc... On the other hand the
Designer mouse works out of the box

Title:
  [Xenial][Bluez5] Low Energy Keyboard is paired incorrectly

Status in Unity Control Center:
  New
Status in bluez package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Failed to pair low energy(bluetooth smart, 4.0) keyboard correctly.

  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(LegacyPairing) keyboard.

  Above scenario also being verified with bluetoothctl and blueman.

  Step to reproduce:

  1. open Bluetooth Settings
  2. click on Add New Device button
  3. select the bluetooth le keyboard
  4. input the passcode display on GUI

  Expected result:

  After bluetooth-wizard telling user is okay the keyboard should work

  
  Actual result:

  Pairing mode stop on keyboard, but still not work.

  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 manually, 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.
