What means "Not Supported"? #386

Open TuChucheng opened 4 years ago

TuChucheng commented 4 years ago

I have tried "sudo" : cd /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/bluepy sudo ./bluepy-helper 0 then I typed "le on" or "scan" but I got this: rsp=$mgmtcode=$mgmterrestat=hCemsg='Not Supported

What means "Not Supported"? And, how can I fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately this will not work properly, as noted in https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2005315 there are severe limitations with using Bluetooth/BLE inside a guest VM. I've had similar issues with a Xubuntu guest VM, where parts may have seem to work some of the time or partially; though in the end it always failed.

This is thus not an issue with BluePy, just a limitation of Virtual Machines (at least with VMware).
