Re: [Bug 318465] Re: Logitech MX5000 doesn't connect via bluetooth under ubuntu
Why? They have perfectly operational devices that are durable, long lasting, and perform to or exceed all product claims. Linux, on the other hand, does not work with these now old technology devices which have been out for years and are popular choices. Linux has simply failed to operate as described, and any mention of it gets a reply that I should write a driver for it myself. Linux is for young people who can't afford computers, but like the idea of playing with computers just like big people do. i.e. a toy Jack Rickard On Sun, Oct 24, 2010 at 4:01 AM, madbiologist 318...@bugs.launchpad.netwrote: Instead of blaming Linux, how about blaming Logitech and Creative? -- Logitech MX5000 doesn't connect via bluetooth under ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/318465 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug.

Re: [Bug 318465] Re: Logitech MX5000 doesn't connect via bluetooth under ubuntu
It did. I used Ubuntu for two years and rather liked it. But the hardware problems eventually just became too cumbersome to deal with. I'm pretty happy now with Mac OSX. EVERY upgrade of Ubuntu for two years broke my logitech wireless keyboard - including the latest. For most of them, I could get it up and running by: 1. Removing and reinserting the dongle. 2. Press the dongle red button. 3. Set keyboard to pair. This had to be done after every reboot. In the latest version, even this doesn't work. So I basically have a keyboardless computer sitting there across the room doing nothing. I've moved on. As far as I'm concerned, Linux is an unfinished OS enjoyed by teen hackers with no dollars and obviously no sense. Endless whining about hardware manufacturers. Meanwhile, sound cards from Creative Labs, and Keyboards from Logitech, are hardly obscure devices overlooked by accident. This bug has been around for years. No resolution. That's because there is nobody at home to resolve it. Part of the Linux culture is that it will heal itself when somebody else gets around to fixing it. For me, a PC is a tool, and a Linux PC is a broken tool. All arguments to the contrary are religous dogma devolving to zealotry. When I complained about this on the Ubuntu forums, I was banned. But they do send me a birthday e-mail every year anyway. Kids, automating nonsense, without clue.

Re: [Bug 318465] Re: Logitech MX5000 doesn't connect via bluetooth under ubuntu
I've got this on two machines, and have for several versions. The only way I've found is to press the button on the dongle and on the keyboard with each bootup. It's discouraging. One machine is an AMD Optera with two processors and the other is a quad intel - both 64 bit. Identical keyboards and an identical problem. Both got fresh installs of 9.04 with no change in the problem. Oddly I HAVE keyboard and mouse on BIOS and GRUB. But after it starts to load the kernel, no more keyboard. Mouse is fine.

I no longer need to use the USB HID mode (disable bluez) as I did in 8.04 and 8.10, and instead finally! have both keyboard and mouse (MX Revolution) paired properly through the Bluetooth Manager. Bluetooth devices (headphones) also work through the same dongle. The only thing I need to do on startup is 'bash' on the modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Super, Caps Lock) at least once before trying to use the keyboard. Possibly there is something in bluez which is not initialising the keyboard 100% properly - i.e. the problem which Jack is experiencing and my modifier keys issue above may somehow be related. This also happens after the computer has been idle (screen black, or screen saver starts), and I've become quite used to toggling all modifiers before starting work again. So it may or may not have anything to do with bluez itself, or it may have something to do with power management or other system elements.

[Bug 318465] Re: Logitech MX5000 doesn't connect via bluetooth under ubuntu
This problem showed up for me with Ubuntu 8.10. On bootup, the Logitech wireless mouse is found and paired. The logitech wireless keyboard is not. If I press red button on dongle, and then red button on keyboard, they do pair. But if the system is rebooted, you must do this manual pairing again - each time. I just upgraded another machine from 8.04 to 9.04 and have the same problem. I also upgraded the first machine to 9.04, and the problem on that machine remains. This keyboard/mouse worked fine pre 8.10. The problem showed up with the 8.10 release and continues with 9.04.
