[Kernel-packages] [Bug 618838] Re: Apple Magic Trackpad requires PIN to pair, fails manual pairing
My Apple Magic Trackpad keeps losing connection. I use: Ubuntu 23.04, blueman, usb-dongl Bluetooth v5, Apple Magic Trackpad. I entered the pairing code "". The trackpad goes off very often. It periodically disconnects, freezes for ten seconds, and then reconnects. Also, if you change the pointer acceleration settings for the trackpad using the "dconf editor" program, then these settings are reset and you have to re-enable them. This is suffering( It's not at all clear how to fix this. Internet advice doesn't help at all. -- 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/618838 Title: Apple Magic Trackpad requires PIN to pair, fails manual pairing Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: bluez The Apple Magic Trackpad requires a PIN to pair upon first activation.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 618838] Re: Apple Magic Trackpad requires PIN to pair, fails manual pairing
I've noticed that the pairing assistant wizard remembers the PIN option specified when run as root. I read on the GNOME blog that GNOME 3.10 will have completely re-done Bluetooth wizard, so this issue (which I'm also experiencing) may be resolved then. I've installed `blueman` in the interim which is an alternative GTK+ bluetooth management utility for GNOME using the bluez D-Bus backend. -- 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/618838 Title: Apple Magic Trackpad requires PIN to pair, fails manual pairing Status in “bluez” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: bluez The Apple Magic Trackpad requires a PIN to pair upon first activation.
