In 2016, the problem still exists with some wireless scanner. The exact same thing is happening to me, and I can't find a way to fix it. Help would be welcome if anyone wants to dig onto this subject. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566914 Title: Bluetooth HID barcode reader drops digits (code128) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/566914/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 566914] Re: Bluetooth HID barcode reader drops digits (code128)
No news. I believe my specific issue is at the conversion of the key to the keypresses as stated above. If you're not seeing your key in SHOWKEY then I think you have a different problem. Using a USB sniffer I saw the right characters were coming into the system from the USB Bluetooth dongle. Using HCIDUMP I could see the characters were successfully passing that point. For me, it was at the actual characters-to-keypress step the issue shows up. I'm a novice and I don't know enough about what part of the system does that to be able to troubleshoot it further. I'm still very interested though. -- Bluetooth HID barcode reader drops digits (code128) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566914 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Evan, any news about this? I have a similar problem but in my case showkey does not show the droped characters at all. -- Bluetooth HID barcode reader drops digits (code128) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566914 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 566914] Re: Bluetooth HID barcode reader drops digits (code128)
apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected ** Description changed: Binary package hint: bluez I apologize is if this the wrong place or format for the report. This is my first bug report. An HID bluetooth barcode reader scanning Code128 barcodes (and possibly other symbologies) will drop repeating digits if they are less than 8 digits apart. This does NOT happen if the repeating digits are back to back. Example the number encoded in a code128 barcode then scanned with a bluetooth HID barcode reader: -1234567890 will properly return 1234567890 -10 will properly return 10 -100 will properly return 100 (the repeating zero's are back to back, so no problem) -1010 will IMPROPERLY return 10 -10101 will IMPROPERLY return 10 -101010 will IMPROPERLY return 10 -1010101 will IMPROPERLY return 10 -10101010 will IMPROPERLY return 100 (yes 100) The test system has a USB (Anycom or Trendnet) bluetooth USB dongles with an Intermec sf51 bluetooth HID barcode scanner successfully paired (as HID profile) to the Ubuntu system. Using USBMON in debug I can see the all of the proper digits coming across in hex. There are no dropped digits. I then used HCIDump and again saw all the digits coming across without loss. Using Showkey shows the problem I believe. Scanning the barcode 1010 shows this in showkey: keycode 2 press keycode 11 press keycode 2 release keycode 11 release Keycode 2 is 1 and Keycode 11 is 0. More complex numbers better illustrate the problem: Scanning the barcode L003184192 returns L00318492. The 1 is missing.This is what appears in showkey (I've added the ASCII letter after the press or release statement from showkey for this example text): keycode 42 press (shift) keycode 38 press (L) keycode 42 release (shift) keycode 38 release (L) keycode 11 press (0) keycode 11 release (0) keycode 11 press (0) keycode 4 press (3) keycode 2 press (1) keycode 9 press (8) keycode 5 press (4) keycode 10 press (10) keycode 11 release (0) keycode 4 release (3) keycode 2 release (1) keycode 9 release (8) keycode 5 release (4) keycode 10 release (9) keycode 3 press (2) keycode 3 release (2) What looks to be happening is that the missing 1 key is pressed at the beginning of the input and is not released in time to be pressed again. - This bug has existed in Ubuntu in all versions I've tried back to 7.10 - (and confirmed in 8.10, 9.04 and 10.2 beta). + This bug has existed in Ubuntu in all versions I've tried back to 7.10 (and confirmed in 8.10, 9.04 and 10.2 beta). + --- + Architecture: i386 + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx - Beta i386 (20100318) + InterestingModules: rfcomm sco bnep l2cap btusb bluetooth + MachineType: Dell Computer Corporation Dimension 4550 + Package: bluez 4.60-0ubuntu8 [modified: lib/udev/rules.d/97-bluetooth.rules] + PackageArchitecture: i386 + ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-16-generic root=UUID=5e6ab2fa-2a8c-430a-89f3-63ffc056c7f8 ro quiet splash + ProcEnviron: + LANG=en_US.utf8 + SHELL=/bin/bash + ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-16.25-generic + Tags: lucid + Uname: Linux 2.6.32-16-generic i686 + UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare + dmi.bios.date: 09/23/2003 + dmi.bios.vendor: Dell Computer Corporation + dmi.bios.version: A08 + dmi.board.vendor: Dell Computer Corp. + dmi.chassis.type: 6 + dmi.chassis.vendor: Dell Computer Corporation + dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnDellComputerCorporation:bvrA08:bd09/23/2003:svnDellComputerCorporation:pnDimension4550:pvr:rvnDellComputerCorp.:rn:rvr:cvnDellComputerCorporation:ct6:cvr: + dmi.product.name: Dimension 4550 + dmi.sys.vendor: Dell Computer Corporation + hciconfig: + hci0:Type: BR/EDR Bus: USB + BD Address: 00:16:38:C9:95:4C ACL MTU: 1017:8 SCO MTU: 64:1 + UP RUNNING PSCAN + RX bytes:1863 acl:29 sco:0 events:45 errors:0 + TX bytes:612 acl:10 sco:0 commands:33 errors:0 + rfkill: + 0: hci0: Bluetooth + Soft blocked: no + Hard blocked: no ** Attachment added: BootDmesg.txt http://launchpadlibrarian.net/45973439/BootDmesg.txt -- Bluetooth HID barcode reader drops digits (code128) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566914 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've run the apport-collect as requested and attached the hci.log generated while scanning a single barcode (duplicating the problem). The barcode the same referenced in the bug report L003184192. To answer your question, no, no special kernel driver loaded. This is just paired as a standard bluetooth keyboard. My apologies if this isn't a Bluez issue. I read through the Bluez docs and could tell if this HID service for bluetooth devices was handled only by Bluez or if it was just handed off to the regular HID system. I appreciate your efforts on this, thank you.

[Bug 566914] Re: Bluetooth HID barcode reader drops digits (code128)
Hi Evan I doubt the bug lives in the bluez system as you concurred the input is okay at HID layer. Does the barcode rely on a specific kernel module? As you're using lucid beta could you issue the command apport-collect 566914, it will send some data to the bug report.
