I'm trying to work with BT and built Bluez 5.37 from source. I installed the hand built version to / over top of the packaged one. Scanning and pairing seems to be fine. However bluetoothctl just hangs at the command prompt. strace says it's waiting in poll. I can Ctrl-C to exit it. Anybody got Bluez5 working? Dan
Hi Dan. Bluez5 cannot work on Ubuntu 14.04 I have an image based on 15.10; if you want to beta-test it send me a private message with your email address.
