Title:
Bluetooth Secure Simple Pairing SSP Broken
Status in “bluez” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Since installing Ubuntu 11.10 (with Linux 3.0), Secure Simple Pairing
(SSP) is broken and will not allow my SSP headset (Samsung HM1000, EDR
+ 2.1) to reconnect after initial pairing and disconnect. I am able to
pair and connect at first. Before I diconnect, everything works as
expected. But after disconnecting, I am no longer able to re-connect
the headset. I have to un-pair then re-pair the device to connect
again to get it working. After re-pairing the headset it stays
connected until I disconnect. Then again after disconnecting, I am
again not able to connect.
I have been using the same BT usb dongle and BT headset in Ubuntu
10.10, 11.04, and 11.10. Everything worked fine in Ubuntu 10.10 and
11.04, which I think were based on Linux Kernel 2.6.35 and 2.6.38
respectively. In those versions, I was able to pair and connect /
disconnect / connect without issue.
I posted an email on the Bluez developer mailing list and it seems
that there is a known issue in the way SSP pairing is working
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-bluetooth&m=132914064106062&w=2) in Ubuntu
11.10. It seems there is a patch that has been released to correct the
issue: (http://marc.info/?l=linux-bluetooth&m=131292182215271&w=2),
and a recommendation to incorporate the fix in stable releases
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-bluetooth&m=132817560218886&w=2).
I am able to work around the issue by running the command: sudo
hciconfig hci0 sspmode 0 to disable sspmode to default back to legacy
connection. However, after rebooting, I again have to disable sspmode
in order to connect the headset. Seems like this is a very basic use
case that left uncorrected can result in very poor user experience.
