Public bug reported: Binary package hint: bluez
I have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and they do not seem to be pairing properly in karmic. My Palm Centro, however, paired just fine. Since the keyboard and mouse aren't paired, when they disconnect (i.e. I move my laptop somewhere else), they are unable to reconnect when I am in range. I added all three devices through the bluetooth wizard from the Gnome bluetooth-applet. Querying the DBus interface to Bluez (using Python as my vector): >>> import dbus >>> sb = dbus.SystemBus() >>> o = sb.get_object('org.bluez', '/org/bluez/2090/hci0/dev_00_1D_FE_1D_D5_BC') >>> print o.GetProperties(dbus_interface='org.bluez.Device') dbus.Dictionary({dbus.String(u'Name'): dbus.String(u"mokomull's Centro", variant_level=1), dbus.String(u'Paired'): dbus.Boolean(True, variant_level=1), dbus.String(u'Adapter'): dbus.ObjectPath('/org/bluez/2090/hci0', variant_level=1), ......}, signature=dbus.Signature('sv')) The above is my phone, which shows Paired: True. Repeating the above on my mouse: >>> o = sb.get_object('org.bluez', '/org/bluez/2090/hci0/dev_00_07_61_9B_0B_B8') >>> print o.GetProperties(dbus_interface='org.bluez.Device') dbus.Dictionary({dbus.String(u'Name'): dbus.String(u'Bluetooth Laser Travel Mouse', variant_level=1), dbus.String(u'Paired'): dbus.Boolean(False, variant_level=1), dbus.String(u'Connected'): dbus.Boolean(False, variant_level=1), ......}, signature=dbus.Signature('sv')) This says Paired: False. It also says Connected: False, but the Gnome bluetooth applet still shows them in bold, indicating that they are connected. They also never show up in the device search again. I removed them by using the org.bluez.Adapter.RemoveDevice() DBus method, which then let me add them through the bluetooth wizard again. This is a bit tedious for the end user to do. The expected behavior is that the devices get paired with my laptop so that they automatically reconnect. ** Affects: bluez (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Bluetooth keyboard and mouse aren't being paired; handle disconnects poorly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437955 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
