Bug Description
Trying to use the impress remote (https:/
The handset errors out that it cannot connect with Libreoffice on the computer even if the bluetooth adapter on the handset and on the computer are correctly paired.
This does not seem to be an issue in the Libreoffice or in the impress remote code:
- I have tested also past LibO versions
- The Impress remote codebase has not changed recently
This used to work on the same hardware (headset and laptop) with ubuntu 16.04.
Hence the issue seems to be in a regression in the ubuntu bluetooth stack.
To replicate:
1) Install Libreoffice on Ubuntu bionic (either from the ubuntu repo or with the deb packages from the document fundation)
2) Assure that your computer has bluetooth
3) Install impress remote on an android handset (either from the play store of via fdroid)
4) Assure that "remote control" is enabled in impress Tools>Options>
5) Pair the bluetooth adapters in the laptop and in the computer
6) Open a presentation on the laptop
7) Open the remote on the handset, got to the bluetooth pane see the computer there, touch it
8) See the impress remote erroring out
Most likely you will also get a bluetooth error on dmesg
