Hi all,
I have Linux Lite 3.2 64-bit installed in an Intel NUC6i5SYK. Everything worked out of the box great except for one thing: Microsoft Surface Ergonomic Bluetooth Keyboard. Linux lite seems to pair the keyboard correctly as you can see from the output of bluetoothctl info:
[bluetooth]# info F1:8D:75:97:13:1B
Device F1:8D:75:97:13:1B
Name: Ergonomic Keyboard
Alias: Ergonomic Keyboard
Appearance: 0x03c1
Icon: input-keyboard
Paired: yes
Trusted: yes
Blocked: no
Connected: yes
LegacyPairing: no
UUID: Generic Access Profile (00001800-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb)
UUID: Generic Attribute Profile (00001801-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb)
UUID: Device Information (0000180a-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb)
UUID: Battery Service (0000180f-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb)
UUID: Human Interface Device (00001812-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb)
However, when I press any key nothing happens. A few suspicious things:
-The LED light on the keyboard keeps blinking even after the pairing (usually once it is paired it stops)
-The bluetooth wizard (or the bluetoothctl terminal commands) never asked for a PIN
The keyboard works pairing it with my MacOS laptop, so that should not be a problem. Any ideas what could be wrong?
Thanks,
Fernando
