It will pair but then says its not paired so wont connect. Googling shows lots of problems with many saying it suddenly starts working and they don't know what happened! The BT dongle worked fine under bluez-3 and 4. The other end is an arduino which needs to be connected via an rfcomm channel (for serial comms) and the hardware on both ends has been working for literally years. After upgrading to bluez-5 it stopped working. I used bluetoothctl to pair it and info shows it paired and trusted, but I cant connect to it: [bluetooth]# info 00:11:03:17:01:12 Device 00:11:03:17:01:12 Name: anubis Alias: anubis Class: 0x001f00 Paired: yes Trusted: yes Blocked: no Connected: no LegacyPairing: yes UUID: Serial Port (00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb) [bluetooth]# connect 00:11:03:17:01:12 Attempting to connect to 00:11:03:17:01:12 [CHG] Device 00:11:03:17:01:12 Connected: yes Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.NotAvailable [CHG] Device 00:11:03:17:01:12 Connected: no [bluetooth]# What am I missing/misunderstanding?
