I just tried running the command to turn off le when connected to a device and I got the same message 'status 0x0a (Busy)' so perhaps you are already connected to something.
My suggestion is to unpair all devices (if you have any paired) and running the command: rfkill block bluetooth That command soft blocks the bluetooth adapter - so it won't be able to attempt any connections. After is it blocked try running the le commannd again (sudo btmgmt le off) Then unblock the bluetooth adapter by: rfkill unblock bluetooth. -- 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/1490349 Title: 15:10 and 16.04: bluetoothd reports "Not enough handles to register service" at start Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On 15:10 after the bluetooth service has been stopped and restarted it is not possible to scan or connect to devices: $ sudo systemctl start bluetooth $ journalctl --unit=bluetooth | tail -n 19 | awk '{$1="";$2="";$4="";print $0}' 23:31:53 systemd[1]: Starting Bluetooth service... 23:31:53 bluetoothd[16647]: Bluetooth daemon 5.33 23:31:53 systemd[1]: Started Bluetooth service. 23:31:53 bluetoothd[16647]: Starting SDP server 23:31:53 bluetoothd[16647]: Bluetooth management interface 1.9 initialized 23:31:53 bluetoothd[16647]: Failed to obtain handles for "Service Changed" characteristic 23:31:53 bluetoothd[16647]: Not enough free handles to register service 23:31:53 bluetoothd[16647]: Error adding Link Loss service 23:31:53 bluetoothd[16647]: Not enough free handles to register service 23:31:53 bluetoothd[16647]: Not enough free handles to register service 23:31:53 bluetoothd[16647]: Not enough free handles to register service 23:31:53 bluetoothd[16647]: Current Time Service could not be registered 23:31:53 bluetoothd[16647]: gatt-time-server: Input/output error (5) 23:31:53 bluetoothd[16647]: Not enough free handles to register service 23:31:53 bluetoothd[16647]: Not enough free handles to register service 23:31:53 bluetoothd[16647]: Sap driver initialization failed. 23:31:53 bluetoothd[16647]: sap-server: Operation not permitted (1) 23:31:53 bluetoothd[16647]: Endpoint registered: sender=:1.440 path=/MediaEndpoint/A2DPSource 23:31:53 bluetoothd[16647]: Endpoint registered: sender=:1.440 path=/MediaEndpoint/A2DPSink And $ 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]# scan on Failed to start discovery: org.bluez.Error.NotReady To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1490349/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
