Config parser error: no LinkKey section

Listing devices gives me the following error

bt-dualboot: 1.0.1

[BlackOutedMind]

Can confirm, same error here, same python version and bt-dualboot, but on Arch Linux 5.15.72-1 LTS

[eathtespagheti]

Same error here, Python 3.10.7, kernel 5.19.13

[paultaiton]

Same issue, Windows 11 w/o ntfs encryption, C drive mounts fine, on Gentoo python 3.10.8 and kernel 6.0.2

[pramodhrachuri]

Same error.

[eCompassion]

Same issue on Arch 6.0.2-arch1-g14-1 and Python 3.10.8. Decrypted Bitlocker and have R/W access.

[eCompassion]

#5 sort of resolved the issue. Looks like the Logitech MX Ergo

[evie@wendy-endeavour bt-dualboot]$ sudo ./bt-dualboot -l

Needs sync

No device found ready to sync.
Try pair devices first.

Missing pairing key

Following devices do not have a pairing key and so cannot be synced

[ED:E3:CD:17:19:BA] MX Ergo

[matan129]

This happened to me as well.
Devices without LinkKey sometimes appear because their pairing failed for whatever reason / was cancelled in the middle.

The easiest way around it is just

sudo bluetoothctl remove 00:00:5e:00:53:af  # MAC of offending device.

Afterwards, just re-pair properly and run bt-dualboot again.

Maybe there's a missing support for Bluetooth 5.1, which uses other keys: LTK, ERand and EDiv.

This pull request had the same issue as the master branch for me but using your solution fixed it, thanks

[ghost]

That pull request is to disable devices without a LinkKey but the thing is that BT5.1 devices correctly don't have a LinkKey. They use the keys mentioned above by @jorgicio

The copying of such values should be supported as well

[Konfekt]

Somehow both the Microsoft Designer Bluetooth keyboard and mouse are working fine under Linux (right now), but neither one of them has an entry LinkKey in their info file in contrast to all the other bluetooth devices

[Konfekt]

For the time being, https://gist.github.com/Mygod/f390aabf53cf1406fc71166a47236ebf seems to complement bt-dualboot well: run bt-dualboot after removing the LE devices and then export-ble-infos.py to import those.

Bump into the same problem, my device is a bluetooth keyboard.

Try #14 by installing bt-dualboot via sudo pip install git+https://github.com/Simon128/bt-dualboot. If that does not help, as mentioned above, try export-ble-infos.py

[mc0e]

I'm seeing the same problem. In my case the device file is my PineTime smart watch. I haven't done much with it from Linux, but it may be that pairing is not expected. Certainly that's the case when accessing he watch from my phone, and pairing in the phone settings actually creates problems for the app that talks to the watch.

I did use Linux to update the phone's operating system over bluetooth, so the device info file would be what's left there from that.

I tried sudo pip install git+https://github.com/Simon128/bt-dualboot, but that still fails:

    raise KeyError("Neither LinkKey->Key nor LongTermKey->Key exist")
KeyError: 'Neither LinkKey->Key nor LongTermKey->Key exist'

I suggest that correct behaviour if a device cannot be synced would be to report the issue in a user friendly way and proceed to sync the other devices.

[mc0e]

I was thinking that I could sync the devices one by one, using bt-dualboot --b PATH --sync MAC, but it seems that also fails with the same error: raise KeyError("Neither LinkKey->Key nor LongTermKey->Key exist"). I imagine this could be avoided by only running bluetooth_device_factory() for devices matching the requested MAC address.

It is likely related to #14 (comment) . That's also a place to comment on possible improvements on https://github.com/Simon128/bt-dualboot
