Soo I bought a Logitech K810 Keyboard because I use a lot of different devices at my desk and I needed something equipped for travel.
My main machines are Linux (usually a variant of Linux Mint). Well The blueZ stack for LM and Ubuntu LTS did NOT work with this keyboard (though 11 did…).
Anyway, I was able to get this to work by following these steps:
*must have bluez-hcidump installed*
*Start the pairing proceedure for your device*
Open a First Terminal:
“hcitool scan”
This will give you a BT address of the device you are trying to attach to.
Open a Second Terminal :
“sudo hcidump -at”
You will see below
In the First Terminal:
“sudo bluez-simple-agent hci0 XX:XX….”
In the Second Terminal:
Look for “passcode: ******* ”
Type it on the keyboard and hit enter
In the First Terminal:
You will see “Release /n New Device (/org/bluez/1129/hci0/dev_00_XX…)”
Yay, you have added the device!
“sudo bluez-test-device trusted 00:XX… yes”
“sudo bluez-test-input connect 00:XX…”
The whole thing will look like
And your Device will appear in your standard menu from now on and will work instantly on boot!
