[Bug 281580] Re: [Intrepid] New Bluetooth Wizard fails to pair with Apple Keyboard...
I have removed Mactel support from this bugreport, because it's not related to Apple devices only. I have Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse with the same problem. And - NO problems with older Ubuntu having hidd. Just type hidd --connect AA:BB... and everything works (forever). New wizard behaviour: - Connect device - Mouse works - Inactivity for few minutes - Disconnected - Try to pair again, pairing failed, which is displayed immediatelly, without even trying. I consider this critical and I believe this should focus on reenabling hidd as the new stack seems to be buggy for advanced users. Really - can it cause a lot of pain to beginners if they have hidd? I don't think so. P.S.: No, please don't suggest fixing the bug in the wizard, this report is intentionally provided as a request to REINTRODUCE HIDD. ** Changed in: bluez (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed ** Changed in: mactel-support Status: New = Invalid ** Summary changed: - [Intrepid] New Bluetooth Wizard fails to pair with Apple Keyboard... + [Intrepid] New Bluetooth Wizard fails to pair with devices: reintroduce hidd -- [Intrepid] New Bluetooth Wizard fails to pair with devices: reintroduce hidd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281580 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi,
meba:
I consider this critical and I believe this should focus on reenabling
hidd as the new stack seems to be buggy for advanced users. Really - can
it cause a lot of pain to beginners if they have hidd?
The real problem with hidd is that the hidd --connect workaround is
good enough, so that the real underlying bug is never fixed.
P.S.: No, please don't suggest fixing the bug in the wizard, this report
is intentionally provided as a request to REINTRODUCE HIDD.
Exactly.
Unfortunately, it seems that it's (again!) too late to fix this properly,
so we seem to be stuck with the damn hidd workaround for another half
year. :-(
On the other hand (and the main reason why I, nevertheless, consider
this bug to be a real problem): there are certainly use cases for having
a scriptable replacement for HIDD, particularly (but not limited to)
--connect.
If there's no documented way to replace hidd in those cases, that's a
regression which NEEDS to be fixed!

motives and experiences, is the necessary prerequisite for becoming a
Christian and experiencing the need for redemption. With the insight into
this aberration of reason and imagination, one ceases to be a Christian.

[Bug 281580] Re: [Intrepid] New Bluetooth Wizard fails to pair with Apple Keyboard...
I'm leaning towards these keyboards being rather finicky. I've got an aluminum bt keyboard. When I try to pair, look at this bluetoothd output: bluetoothd[6925]: Temporary agent registered for hci0/00:1B:63:FA:CD:5A at :1.132:/org/bluez/agent/wizard bluetoothd[6925]: adapter_get_device(00:1B:63:FA:CD:5A) bluetoothd[6925]: Hangup or error on bonding IO channel bluetoothd[6925]: Releasing agent :1.132, /org/bluez/agent/wizard bluetoothd[6925]: Removing device /org/bluez/hci0/dev_00_1B_63_FA_CD_5A I can't even get my phone to recognize it reliably when it claims to be in discovery mode. -- [Intrepid] New Bluetooth Wizard fails to pair with Apple Keyboard... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281580 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 281580] Re: [Intrepid] New Bluetooth Wizard fails to pair with Apple Keyboard...
I tried again, after I was convinced it really was in discovery mode, and the device worked fine. It asked me for entering the pin, and I'm typing on it right now. -- [Intrepid] New Bluetooth Wizard fails to pair with Apple Keyboard... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281580 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 281580] Re: [Intrepid] New Bluetooth Wizard fails to pair with Apple Keyboard...
I have one of the white keyboards that predates the aluminum ones. I had it working fine using hidd and the hci reset method described in the blog post I mentioned in the bug description. I have had trouble with this keyboard ever since the bluetooth stack was overhauled for Hardy. I used the actual terminal commands to inferface with bluetooth through dbus, and it works everytime. That, however, does not prompt for a pairing key or anything. I described this method here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4486290 I have also tried numerous other tweaks such as altering the bluetooth device name to include only a very simple string of letters. Putting the keyboard in discovery mode, and scanning finds the device, but when you attempt to connect it just gives an error. That is all. If there is any more tecnical output I can give you please let me know and I will be glad to get it for you. -- [Intrepid] New Bluetooth Wizard fails to pair with Apple Keyboard... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281580 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
