Dear list, I've been consistently using a lenovo bluetooth keyboard since Bluez4. Since a recent (a month ago or so) upgrade (debian/stretch) it doesn't connect anymore. Neither does a Jabra Stealth earpiece which was doing fine a month ago. $ bluetoothctl --version 5.36 Here is my attempt to pair the keyboard (as root): # bluetoothctl -a [NEW] Controller 9C:2A:70:82:50:FB pluto [default] Agent registered [bluetooth]# power on Changing power on succeeded [bluetooth]# agent on Agent is already registered [bluetooth]# default-agent Default agent request successful [bluetooth]# pairable on Changing pairable on succeeded [bluetooth]# scan on Discovery started [CHG] Controller 9C:2A:70:82:50:FB Discovering: yes [NEW] Device 90:7F:61:11:2C:A7 ThinkPad Compact Bluetooth Keyboard with TrackPoint [CHG] Device 90:7F:61:11:2C:A7 Connected: no [DEL] Device 90:7F:61:11:2C:A7 ThinkPad Compact Bluetooth Keyboard with TrackPoint [NEW] Device 90:7F:61:11:2C:A7 ThinkPad Compact Bluetooth Keyboard with TrackPoint [bluetooth]# pair 90:7F:61:11:2C:A7 Attempting to pair with 90:7F:61:11:2C:A7 [CHG] Device 90:7F:61:11:2C:A7 Connected: yes [agent] Passkey: 136021 [agent] Passkey: 136021 [agent] Passkey: 136021 [agent] Passkey: 136021 [agent] Passkey: 136021 [agent] Passkey: 136021 [agent] Passkey: 136021 [CHG] Device 90:7F:61:11:2C:A7 RSSI: -53 [CHG] Device 90:7F:61:11:2C:A7 Paired: yes Pairing successful [CHG] Device 90:7F:61:11:2C:A7 Connected: no [bluetooth]# trust 90:7F:61:11:2C:A7 [CHG] Device 90:7F:61:11:2C:A7 Trusted: yes Changing 90:7F:61:11:2C:A7 trust succeeded [bluetooth]# connect 90:7F:61:11:2C:A7 Attempting to connect to 90:7F:61:11:2C:A7 [CHG] Device 90:7F:61:11:2C:A7 Connected: yes [CHG] Device 90:7F:61:11:2C:A7 RSSI: -68 Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed [CHG] Device 90:7F:61:11:2C:A7 Connected: no [CHG] Device 90:7F:61:11:2C:A7 RSSI: -57 [bluetooth]# quit During the passkey thing, the color of the digits indicates that the input from the bluetooth keyboard is taken into account. Even when it says conneced: yes, it isn't actually connected: the led of the keyboard indicates it isn't connected and there is no input. # cat /var/lib/bluetooth/9C\:2A\:70\:82\:50\:FB/90\:7F\:61\:11\:2C\:A7/info [General] Name=ThinkPad Compact Bluetooth Keyboard with TrackPoint Class=0x002540 SupportedTechnologies=BR/EDR; Trusted=true Blocked=false [LinkKey] Key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Type=5 PINLength=0 I've got no knowledge about how bluetooth stack is working, I'm a complete end-user there. But if you can point me out something I've done wrong, or suggest something else to do, or if I can provide additional information...
