there is some misunderstanding between my Dell laptop with ubuntu and microsoft keyboard. When using default bluetooth software, keyboard is found, but bluetooth manager's pairing finishes with 'Unable to connect' message.
Blueman detects keyboard, but unable to connect it too.
But, this sequence of commands connects it without any password:
hcitool scan
sudo hidd --connect 00:12:A1:63:34:6E
Howevere even in this case after 15 minutes idle, keyboard switches to sleep mode, and cannot be properly connected back.
On the other hand this keyboard successfully connects to all my android device. In this case I have this connecting flow:
- choose keyboard device in list of found device
- android device generates unique pass (like 6789)
- after password input using keyboard keys devices are paired
In my opinion something like this should happend when connecting to laptop.
So, if you know any way to solve this issue without becoming bluetooth-hacker and patching bluetooth stack I'll be very appreciate.
