Any help ?

I have problems with my bluetooth device as well. My bluetooth adapter is bundled with my WiFi card, I don't know about yours but that is indeed relevant in order to find a solution.

Post the output of these commands:

$ hcitool dev
$ dmesg | grep Bluetooth

In case I get help HERE is the link to the thread I've posted a while ago. Just in case.

Best of luck!

EDIT: Grammar. My bad.

While this is almost certainly an unsatisfactory answer, installing the deprecated 'bluez4' rather than 'bluez' may be of assistance to you since it allows you to use the 'hidd' command to manually pair.

(imho, 'bluetoothctl' is too automated for its own good. Also it's never worked for me.)

I can't install bluez4 with latest gnome

:: bluez and bluez4 are in conflict. Remove bluez4? [y/N]

All of your outputs look ok. I'm so sorry to tell you this but I don't know where the problem is stemming from. I think that our best bet right now is to wait for updates...At least that is my position since I've never managed to make my bluetooth adapter work on Linux...

I'm sorry, once again...

Best of luck.
