Public bug reported: Connecting to the latest generation Apple BT keyboard ( the one with the USB port & no batteries ) fails on an Ubuntu Touch device, as when you press the "Connect" button on the device page, a dialog titled "Bluetooth Pairing Request" is displayed, with the following text:
Please confirm that the PIN displayed on 'Magic Keyboard' matches this one: XXXXXX The dialog has "Cancel" and "Confirm PIN" buttons. The keyboard has no display on which a PIN could be displayed. When using other devices ( Ubuntu Desktop 15.10, 16.04, Android, OS X, ... ) to connect this keyboard all that's necessary is to click/press the 'Connect' button in the appropriate place, and the keyboard automatically connects, and is usable with no other actions required from the user. Reproduced on krillin ( rc-proposed/bq-aquris.en/270 ) which has bluez 5.36-0ubuntu2~overlay1 installed. Reproduced on arale ( rc-proposed/meizu.en/258 ) which has bluez 5.37 installed from silo 39. Note, after dismissing the dialog, subsequent attempts to connect may not re-display the PIN dialog, instead nothing happens. I've found that this requires power cycling the keyboard to clear and cause the PIN dialog to be displayed again. ** Affects: canonical-devices-system-image Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bluetooth ** Also affects: canonical-devices-system-image Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags added: bluetooth -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1551858 Title: [bluetooth] Connecting to Apple BT keyboard fails due to PIN prompt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1551858/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
