Title:
bluetooth-wizard cannot pair with a 1byone bluetooth keyboard (or
possibly, any keyboard that requires a PIN code?)
Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in unity-control-center source package in Xenial:
Fix Released
Bug description:
* Impact
some bluetooth keyboards can't be paired
* Test case
If you own a keyboard requiring a pincode for pairing try to pair it, it
should work
* Regression potential
limited, it's only adding new code to a callback function which was
unimplemented
------------------------------------
I'm on wily. I just got this keyboard, so I don't know if this is a
regression or not with Bluez5. I'm guessing it is though.
I can pair via the console just fine (though connecting is another
story -- bug 1492441):
$ bluetoothctl
[NEW] Device 08:73:00:13:CC:45 1byone Keyboard
[bluetooth]# agent on
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# default-agent
Default agent request successful
[bluetooth]# pair 08:73:00:13:CC:45

[CHG] Device 08:73:00:13:CC:45 Paired: yes
Pairing successful
[CHG] Device 08:73:00:13:CC:45 Connected: no
But when using bluetooth-wizard, none of the "PIN options" options
work for me. I expected to be prompted to enter a random PIN code
like I do when connecting it to my iPad or when connecting via the
console above. But it just spins for a while and says that pairing
failed.
