@Martin, changelog from 5.35 is quite explicit: " A noteworthy new feature is the ability to configure bluetoothd to automatically enable (power on) all new adapters. One use of this is to replace unreliable “hciconfig hci0 up” commands that some distributions use in their init/udev scripts. The feature can be enabled by having AutoEnable=true under the [Policy] section of /etc/bluetooth/main.conf. " http://www.bluez.org/release-of-bluez-5-35/

But this pairing doesn't work very well. Mouse is seen but pairing fail. More information: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104011#c5 This is due to udev rule that use "hcitool" to power on device. Hopefully, bluez 5.35 has a new parameter "AutoEnable" who can be used instead of udev rules. here is a commit with this parameter: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~guilhem-fr/bluez/autoenable/revision/138 And a ppa to test it: https://code.launchpad.net/~guilhem-fr/+archive/ubuntu/bluez-autoenable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1510570/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
