Public bug reported: When pairing with Bluetooth legacy devices (those using Bluetooth version < 2.1) we currently don't implement support for displaying a PIN code used for pairing. From the functionality point of view this doesn't cause any harm but if we do it would bring us more along with what the Bluetooth spec says. If we don't implement the DisplayPinCode Agent method BlueZ will use RequestPinCode instead which will require the user to enter the same PIN code on both devices rather than entering a displayed PIN code on just the responding device (initiating device will display the PIN code to enter).
See https://git.kernel.org/cgit/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/doc/agent- api.txt?id=4.101#n64 for more details. ** Affects: ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bluetooth -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1479695 Title: Settings app doesn't implement DisplayPinCode Agent method To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-system-settings/+bug/1479695/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
