Bluez 5.40 works for me for both Designer keyboard and mouse. At this time Ubuntu has not packaged it up into a DEB but I was able to build and install it myself (search for bluez 5.40 to find how to download the entire large source). I am using Ubuntu 16.04 but a newer kernel made by Ubuntu (4.6.0-040600-generic). It is also important to install the patches Guilhem mentions in #22.
I needed some additional packages to do the build. This is the whole procedure as well as a website that helped me figure this out: ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var sudo apt-get install glib2.0 sudo apt-get install libdbus-1-dev sudo apt-get install libudev-dev sudo apt-get install libical-dev sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev sudo make sudo make install (I got help from http://rrbluetoothx.blogspot.com/2016/04/rr-bluetooth- compile-bluez-539.html). They haven't got everything right yet: both devices, though they work fine, are of unknown type, and syslog is still littered with python failures whenever one of these connects or disconnects. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1510570 Title: BLE pairing fail To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1510570/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
