Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) reached end-of-life on May 9, 2013. See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases We appreciate that this bug may be old and you might not be interested in discussing it any more. But if you are then please upgrade to the latest Ubuntu version and re-test. If you then find the bug is still present in the newer Ubuntu version, please add a comment here telling us which new version it is in and change the bug status to Confirmed. ** Changed in: bluez (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566914 Title: Bluetooth HID barcode reader drops digits (code128) Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: bluez I apologize is if this the wrong place or format for the report.
