Testing:: 1. using the bluez without the patch
- reboot - try to pair and connect 2. using bluez with patch - reboot - try to pair and connect In some cases pairing and connecting works better with the patch applied. There is no negative behavior observed with patch applied compared to w/o the patch. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1510570 Title: Bluetooth LE pairing fail Status in OEM Priority Project: Confirmed Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in bluez source package in Xenial: Confirmed Bug description: [Impact] When the Bluetooth adapter is not powered on it is not possible to use it in normal way. We used to have a hack to force powering on by using an udev rule but this doe snot work anymore. Luckily the BlueZ has introduced "AutoEnable" option that makes the stack power on adapters by itself. Backporting this to xenial will improve life of the desktop users and will not require them to hack the solution on their own. The fix itself uses the well known solution to this problem that is floating around there for a while. The upload fixes the bug by enabling the 'AutoEnable' option in the bluetoothd config file. [Original Report] . 15.10 we now have bluez 5 so we can pair BLE devices like the Microsoft Arc Touch Bluetooth Mouse. But this pairing doesn't work very well. Mouse is seen but pairing fail. More information: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104011#c5 This is due to udev rule that use "hcitool" to power on device. Hopefully, bluez 5.35 has a new parameter "AutoEnable" who can be used instead of udev rules. here is a commit with this parameter: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~guilhem-fr/bluez/autoenable/revision/138 [Test Case] Edit the /etc/bluetooth/main.conf and disable the 'AutoEnable' option. Remove file 50-bluetooth-hci-auto-poweron.rules located in /lib/udev/rules.d. Now reboot the machine. The BT adapter shall be powered off now. [Regression Potential] Cannot think of any [Other Info] This fix is included in the development release, see: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~bluetooth/bluez/ubuntu-zesty/revision/22 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1510570/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
