dpt-rp1-py Unable to connect to DPT-RP1 via bluetooth from Ubuntu 20.04

Hi there, I tried to connect to my Sony DPT-RP1 DigitalPaper from my X1 Carbon 2018 laptop for several days but didn't get lucky. I guess there could be something wrong from the bluetooth settings side and please help me find out what could have been wrong here.

The OS I'm running is Ubuntu 20.04, with Python 3.9.7 from Anaconda3 distribution. The Software Version of the DigitalPaper is 1.6.50.14130 and should be the latest because I tried to update it on the App from Windows.

Also, I have to say I succeed in register and listi-documents via both wired connection following this tutorial and via "start WiFi Access Point" from the device. However, I don't want to be carrying a cable all the time or interupt my laptop's Internet connection by connecting to the DigitalPaper's access point. That's why I really wish to fix the Bluetooth connection.

Here's the details about the experiments I tried till now:

Tried to pair the Digitalpaper on Bluetooth, and was successful. Also, tried to manually connect to it by running bluetoothctl and then connect A8:1D:16:07:DA:B4, which gives:

[CHG] Device A8:1D:16:07:DA:B4 Connected: yes
[CHG] Device A8:1D:16:07:DA:B4 ServicesResolved: yes

And after a few seconds:

Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.NotAvailable
[CHG] Device A8:1D:16:07:DA:B4 ServicesResolved: no
[CHG] Device A8:1D:16:07:DA:B4 Connected: no

I'm not sure if such auto-disconnect behaviour is normal because I do notice similar behaviour under Windows.

Tried to run dptrp1 register, which gives:

4.The system of the DigitalPaper was never tampered with (like unlock). Also, I bought this device in China and one have to choose between Chinese and English during initializing and I actually chose English. Also, I'm currently at Brisbane Australia and I tried to set the timezone to UTC+10 (same as my laptop) but it didn't help.

If there's any other information that could be helpful. Please do let me know.

Thanks for your time.

I guess that dpt-rp1-py didn't get valid ip address to connect. You can try to ping digitalpaper.local once the bluetooth connection build. If it has response, then dptrp1 --addr digitalpaper.local xxxxx.

In my case, I'm working with KDE on Fedora. Digital Paper cannot be connect from the bluetooth plane, but only from network plane. When I connect it from bluetooth plane, the connection auto disconnect after seconds.

Closing as I don't any access to a Sony DPT-RP1 DigitalPaper device anymore.
