[LibreELEC 9.2.0] Cannot pair Logitech K830 Wireless Keyboard via Bluetooth

  • LibreELEC 9.2.0 / Kodi 18.5

    Logitech K830 Wireless Keyboard
    Intel NUC 815BEK


    I am in the process of setting up a new Media PC based on an Intel NUC. Everything works so far, except that I cannot get my Logitech K830 Wireless Keyboard to pair via Bluetooth. The NUC has Bluetooth 5.0, while the K830 Keyboard has "Bluetooth Smart" which is basically Bluetooth 4.0.


    Bluetooth itself is enabled on the NUC and also in LibreELEC. When I navigate in Kodi (via an old wired Keyboard) to "LibreELEC" -> "Bluetooth", the K830 shows up. I then bring the Keyboard into Bluetooth pairing mode and click on "Trust and Connect" ... but then after a few seconds I just get an error which says: "Bluetooth error. Software caused connection abort". When I click on "Pair" instead, I get an error which says "Authentication failed" (see attached screenshots).

    I would prefer to use the built-in Keyboard Bluetooth over the Logitech Unifying Dongle. Any idea why I cannot pair the K830 Keyboard via Bluetooth with my Intel NUC?

    Here is a Debug Log: https://pastebin.com/raw/syqryj2q

    Any help is highly appreciated!

Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.)

    If other Bluetooth devices pair, then it's probably option one of the log line.
