Package: bluetooth Version: 5.36-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream I'm having the same problem as described in this Ubuntu ticket:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1546603 My log entries, for completeness: Mar 30 20:43:56 hostname bluetoothd[1525]: Error reading PNP_ID value: Attribute requires authentication before read/write Mar 30 20:43:56 hostname bluetoothd[1525]: Unable to register GATT service with handle 0x0009 for device C6:E5:C2:98:9B:58 Mar 30 20:43:56 hostname bluetoothd[1525]: Unable to register GATT service with handle 0x000e for device C6:E5:C2:98:9B:58 Mar 30 20:43:57 hostname bluetoothd[1525]: Report Map read failed: Attribute requires authentication before read/write Mar 30 20:43:57 hostname bluetoothd[1525]: Protocol Mode characteristic read failed: Attribute requires authentication before read/write Mar 30 20:43:57 hostname bluetoothd[1525]: HID Information read failed: Attribute requires authentication before read/write Mar 30 20:43:57 hostname bluetoothd[1525]: Read Report Reference descriptor failed: Attribute requires authentication before read/write Mar 30 20:43:57 hostname bluetoothd[1525]: Read Report Reference descriptor failed: Attribute requires authentication before read/write Mar 30 20:43:57 hostname bluetoothd[1525]: Read Report Reference descriptor failed: Attribute requires authentication before read/write Mar 30 20:43:57 hostname bluetoothd[1525]: Read Report Reference descriptor failed: Attribute requires authentication before read/write Mar 30 20:43:57 hostname bluetoothd[1525]: Read Report Reference descriptor failed: Attribute requires authentication before read/write Mar 30 20:43:57 hostname bluetoothd[1525]: Read Report Reference descriptor failed: Attribute requires authentication before read/write I'm using a Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 3600 for reference. It is a BT4/LE device. It pairs and connects just fine, but no HID events make it through (at least not through to X) -- no pointer movement, clicks, or scrolls. Some deep time with Google suggests that this issue affects quite a few folks (not just Debian, includes keyboards as well as other mice) and _may_ be fixed by this upstream patch: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-bluetooth/msg66469.html AKA http://git.kernel.org/cgit/bluetooth/bluez.git/commit/?id=064f48ad6dd0eb4becb94f5492b6c78218065f19 Which I think is included in the latest upstream release (5.38). I haven't had the chance yet to test/verify this. I see #816815 is also requesting an update to newer upstream to support newer hardware, though not related to this specific issue. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'buildd-unstable'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages bluetooth depends on: ii bluez 5.36-1 bluetooth recommends no packages.
