Resetting the bluez package did NOT fix the problem. Removing the bluez package(s), removing /var/lib/bluetooth and re-installing.
sudo apt remove --purge bluez rm -rf /var/lib/bluetooth sudo apt install bluez gnome-bluetooth gnome-bluetooth-sendto The bluetooth system need to be started, and this empties the list of discovered bluetoothe devices, but the popup for the keyboard auth number disappears again. -- 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/241000 Title: Pairing: passcode dialogue disappears in <1 second Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in bluez-utils package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: bluez-utils The pairing dialogues to allow entering a pin and initiate pairing disappear too fast. If I do the following: sudo hcitool cc 00:19:DB:0A:xx:yy && sudo hcitool auth 00:19:DB:0A:xx:yy a notifier window will pop up for ~1 second and then disappear. If I click on the notifier window fastest, the main passcode/pincode entry dialogue will disappear. This also disappears within 1second. The key seems to be that it is necessary to 'auth', click and 'pincode' within 1 second of a connection being made. This should actually wait until the user is able to and none of the dialogue boxes should cut-off early and disappear without warning.
