When you unplug your bluetooth dongle, and plug it back in, it goes into a "legacy mode" or "bios mode" or "usb compatibility mode" or "hid mode". This is not good. The _hid_ mode has reduced bluetooth functionality. Your mouse and keyboard will work (but only the standard buttons, not any fancy multimedia buttons on your keyboard, and only 3 buttons on the mouse, not any of the 9 other buttons). Any other bluetooth device, like a smartphone, will not be able to connect. To have full bluetooth functionality, your dongle needs to be in _hci_ mode. In hci mode, you have *all* buttons on keyboard and mouse, and you will be able to connect with your smartphone. When you issue the hid2hci command, you will notice that you are able to connect your smartphone. However, when it asks you to enter a pin code on the pc to verify the bluetooth connection, you will curse. Why? Because with hid2hci, you have shut out your keyboard again... -- Amedee -- Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard Broken in Dapper/Edgy/Feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/32415 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

My logitech cordless elite bluetooth hub connects with USB. When you get the first login prompt, just pull out the USB plug, wait a second or two and plug it back in. Both your keyboard and mouse will then wake up. Tadaaa! I fully agree that this is the most pathetically tedious bug I have ever seen. It probably also causes the most bad press for Linux as every bluetooth user will get caught by it. Surely the relevant developers can see from the amount of threads and postings on this subject, that it is a critical bug? Guys (that's the developers out there), if you want to rule the world so you dont' have to keep looking out a window, clean up the visible bugs. No one cares about the esoteric and deep down inside security bugs (ok, until they get caught out) that the Linux brain-surgeons fix.

ACK all the way.
I will give a Logitech bluetooth keyboard+mouse to the developer who can
solve this problem, or I will donate the value of that keyb+mouse to a
charity of his/her choice. That is an incentive of about 100 if I'm not
mistaken. If there are others who are also willing to donate, I'll set up
a pledge site to get this bug fixed.

After searching the internet for solutions to my particular bluetooth

each one:
"My keyboard/mouse won't reconnect after reboot/suspend/idle."

I've read through all these bug reports for a solution, tried the

another keyboard every time I need to LOG IN. It wouldn't make me so

supposed to fix bugs, not direct people to workarounds that don't work.
If there are so many reports, how is this problem not yet fixed? How is
this on the back burner, while other negligible problems are being
solved? Or maybe I'm the only one who needs a keyboard or mouse to
operate Ubuntu--I don't think that's the case, considering the
prevalence of laptops and wireless solutions touted in this modern age.
These problems need to be fixed, especially if usability is of concern
here.

[Bug 32415] Re: Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard Broken in Dapper/Edgy/Feisty
Hi All, I am new to this discussion, just tripped over it while looking for something totally different. If I say something silly, please let me know. Just trying to help, but I may be totally wrong here :-) My understanding of the symptoms: - a bluetooth mouse or keyboard, regardless of the brand or chipset, will stop working when GDM comes up - reconnecting explicitely the device(s) at that point restores the device functionality, but then it is not working anymore at next boot, until GDM is up and running again - the problem seems system dependant It looks like the devices stop working at the exact moment when the Bluetooth stack is loaded and the adapter is switched from HID to HCI mode. Despite knowing the device address, the stack fails in reconnecting the device. A similar problem can occur if there is a discrepancy in Bluetooth link key inside the broadcom BT adapter in HID mode, and the link key stored by the host stack. Again, I have no clue about the actual implementation of Dapper (actually I heard that name for the first time today :-), but my guess is that there must be some code / HCI commands missing to synchronize the link keys, or alternatively that depending on the silicon used that synchronisation does not work as expected, and requires some undocumented commands. If not done already, it would probably help to look at the HCI traffic on USB on the original OS supplied with the machine (MacOS X) and compare it with what Dapper does. -- Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard Broken in Dapper/Edgy/Feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/32415 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

(:P Send the last report as I didn't finished it. Sorry Off course the attached file is to read after my thread ) Then in the kernel bug report we can see that the bug you're hunting is located on the hidp kernel module. I'm currently searching if this patch was installed in the ubuntus kernel : http://www.bluez.org/patches.html (my guess is that it's not. That could explain why bluetooth mouses and bluetooth keyboards don't come up ) Here is my thread on gentoo forums related to Dinovo Keyboard set. Hope it Helps: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-231506-highlight-dinovo.html PS : the hidd --connect thing is to be done when you want to use your mouses keyboards in BT mode. When you desinstall bluez-packages mouses and keyboards work because then you use another kernel modules (HID if I remember well, in USB section) BUT using that modules restrict the radius of use of your devices (1 or 2 meters instaed of 10 meters using BT mode). Also you may not be able to use all buttons as intended (don't know why ... just seen it). PS2: As I was searching I saw this in /etc/default/bluetooth : HIDD # # To have Bluetooth mouse and keyboard support, get the # Linux 2.6.6 patch or better from bluez.org, and set # HIDD_ENABLED to 1. Clear enough : the bluez patch isn't installed that's why mouses and keyboards doesn't work in BT mode.

[Bug 32415] Re: Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard Broken in Dapper/Edgy/Feisty
Hi I've got a Dinovo Keyboard set (First Generation) installed on a PC (Intel Pentium III Prescot E) After some times on Gentoo I have installed a Kubuntu feisty with the alternate CD. My box is running the 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP kernel. I have this problem too. Having spend some times fuguring out on my gentoo how to make work the dinovo set, I've tried looking why kubuntu didn't do it. First it can work by doing by hand : hidd --connect AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF (Mouse or whatever) hidd --connect AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:GG (keybord or whatever) hidd --connect AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:HH (Mediapad or whatever) Like in other distros by the way. The first time you HAVE TO hidd --connect your device by hand. (don't know why) The problem is then when you reboot it don't keep the config (other distros does or may) putting HIDD_ENABLED=1 in /etc/default/bluetooth doesn't change this nor in /etc/init.d/bluettoth putting HIDD_OPTIONS=" --connect AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF --connect AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:GG --master --server" doesn't make it either (it may by the way but since you make a connect for the first time you need, on dinovo devices, to press a connection button, it doesn't work for that reason : you need to press the buttons on your devices at each boot.) The most strange thing comes here : I've tried to make an hcitool scan ... and nothing came. So I tried an hciconfig on the /dev/hci0... it didn't exists : Normally it shouldhave : when you boot /etc/init.d/bluetooth it launches hid2hci script which create an /dev/hci0 device from /dev/hiddev0. so I tried to run hid2hci manually... it gives on the console : Switching device 046d:c704 to HCI mode was successful But here is what I get in /var/log/messages : ** Attachment added: "kernel bug log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8339702/toto -- Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard Broken in Dapper/Edgy/Feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/32415 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

My Logitech MX5000 keyboard and mouse work fine for a while, but the connection gets dropped if either device is idle for too long.

It's (almost) solved!

I rebooted. It's my impression that the keyboard doesn't work in grub. During the boot process, the LCD on the keyboard asks for a password. When kdm comes up, both mouse and keyboard are working. I can also send pictures to/from the phone. This leaves only one minor issue to investigate/solve: why doesn't the keyboard work in grub? I don't consider entering a password on the keyboard a problem. I kinda like the idea that you have to enter a password on the physical device you use to enter a password on the computer.

Confirmed on feisty (up-to-date as of posting) on i386: I can only use my bluetooth keyboard and mouse (Microsoft Office Desktop Elite) in HIDP-mode. Patching the kernel (2.6.20-10-lowlatency) with the latest patch from www.bluez.org (-mh1) resolves the issue. I had the same problem in several other distros (most notably gentoo), since about kernel version 2.6.12 (I had no bluetooth set before that). I am curious why the bluez.org site states that its patches are included in the more recent kernels if I had to apply the patch manually to all the kernels since then to resolve the issue I have. Proposed solution: Include the -mh-patch in the standard ubuntu kernel by default, especially if this patch fixes the multitude of issues other users seem to be having (tests, anyone?).

I just installed Edgy on a couple of machines last week. (Let me preface this by saying I'm already an Ubuntu convert...however...) I have a Logitech DiNovo keyboard and mouse, with dongle. The behaviour I see seems slightly different than what is described herein. I use sudo hidd --connect, and it works fine both on a Gateway Solo 1400 (using the Logitech dongle) and on an HP/Compaq nc6000 using the internal Bluetooth. Unfortunately, if idle for too long (I'm guessing the KB/mouse enter snooze mode) both machines will lose their connection to the KB/mouse until I reset both and sudo hidd --connect again. I may have missed it, but I don't see this exact behaviour described above. I have no problem connecting, except that it's inconvenient to have to do it on such a regular basis (I've already written an alias because I got tired of finding it in the history). Any ideas here?

Don't put --connect in HIDD_OPTIONS. This will fully mess with your system and whoever proposed this strange settings is wrong. In general the option --server is fully enough and HIDD_ENABLE must be on. The --search or --connect needs only to be issued once. After that the mouse or keyboard will reconnect once it is used.

I think all these problems on Apple based system are caused by a race condition in the startup and init routines for the Bluetooth adapter. I am pretty sure that I finally fixed this. At least my Quad G5 running Edgy now has no problems anymore. The main problem was that the command for setting the scan mode failed. And this means that the adapter was available, but neither page scan nor page inquiry were set. This results in a non-connectable and non- discoverable Bluetooth adapter. However HID mice and keyboards wanna reconnect to the adapter and if it is in non-connectable mode (page scan off) then they simply can't. This race condition was present on all architectures, but for some strange reason only the Apple machines with the HID proxy adapters suffered from it. Anyhow this has been fixed with the bluez-utils-3.9 release and for Feisty it might be a good idea to simply sync with the new upstream source. -- Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard Broken in Dapper/Edgy/Feisty https://launchpad.net/bugs/32415 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The GDM lockup remains. To echo/confirm the original bug, we are saying that for this test, "once GDM comes up, my bluetooth devices are no longer functional." Workarounds offered above gave no usability. Typing keys and moving the mouse fail. There is some initial activity with keys but then lockup. You can type about 3 letters into GDM. The mouse cursor never moves. Installed bluetooth config files are (wrongly?) defaulted to HIDD_ENABLED=0 which was changed, but to no avail. Removing bluez* makes the keyboard work and GDM login possible. The Apple bluetooth mouse never works in GNOME at all with or without bluez*. It works fine in Mac OS X 10.4.8.

The kernel patch applies to all platforms (it changes arch-independent sources). But the bug doesn't occur on the other platforms: - x86 is 32bit userspace on a 32bit kernel - amd64 is 64bit userspace on a 64bit kernel. The bug only appears when a 32bit userspace is used on a 64bit kernel - this is the powerpc64 platform.

This means that the bug will go away as soon as Ubuntu uses kernel 2.6.19, without changing the bluez-utils package at all.

[Bug 32415] Re: Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard Broken in Dapper/Edgy/Feisty
@Lothar (2006-10-14/15):
thanks for you strace log.
It proves that there are actually two diffent bugs, both related to hidd and/or
the hidp kernel module.
A/ you observe a "connect timeout" from "hidd --connect ..."
B/ Zhares sees a "HID create error 14" from "hidd --connect ..."
Bug A seems to be related to certain dongle/device combinations, as
Etienne states. It's not related to the platform - you see it on an
Athlon, I see it on a PowerPC G4.
Bug B ONLY happens on 64bit PowerPC Apple G5 hardware. The HID device
doesn't matter.
These bugs are really different. Your strace (bug A) shows hidd failing
BEFORE it reaches the point where hidd executes ioctl(HIDPCONNADD),
which would trigger bug B.
Bug B seems to be caused by a 64bit problem, just as Zhares assumed.
The ioctl which fails is defined in /usr/include/bluetooth/hidp.h:
#define HIDPCONNADD _IOW('H', 200, int)
... but the caller is supposed to pass not an int, but instead a pointer to a
struct hidp_connadd_req, which is declared as:
{
int ctrl_sock; /* Connected control socket */
int intr_sock; /* Connected interrupt socket */
uint16_t parser;/* Parser version */
uint16_t rd_size; /* Report descriptor size */
uint8_t *rd_data; /* Report descriptor data */
uint8_t country;
... [remaining parts are arch-independently sized]
};
In the application the ioctl has to be called in this way (taken from
bluez-utils/hidd/main.c):
struct hidp_connadd_req req;
...
err = ioctl(ctl, HIDPCONNADD, &req);
On a 64bit PowerPC system like a PowerMac G5, ubuntu uses a 64bit kernel and a
mixed 32/64bit userspace. Specifically, hidd is compiled as a 32bit binary.
In a 64bit compile (kernel), the pointer "uint8_t *rd_data" is 8 bytes long,
and it will also be aligned to a multiple of 8. Therefore the size of struct
hidp_connadd_req will be larger in a 64bit compile than in a 32bit compile
(hidd). I've attached a small test program to illustrate the difference -- try
it:
gcc -m32 hidp_connadd_bug.c && ./a.out
gcc -m64 hidp_connadd_bug.c && ./a.out
The sizes of the struct are 160 vs. 168 bytes.
The hidp kernel module has this code in Linux/net/bluetooth/hidp/sock.c:
static int hidp_sock_ioctl(struct socket *sock, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long
arg)
{
void __user *argp = (void __user *) arg;
struct hidp_connadd_req ca;
...
switch (cmd) {
case HIDPCONNADD:
...
if (copy_from_user(&ca, argp, sizeof(ca)))
return -EFAULT;
...
EFAULT is error 14, "bad address" (as observed).
The hidp kernel module tries to copy a structure hidp_conadd_req of a larger
size (due to 64bit pointer size) than the user provided (due to 32bit pointer
size). I suspect that this fails, so that the ioctl returns the error code,
causing hidd to terminate.
Even if the copy succeeded, the struct would then be interpreted incorrectly by
the hidp module (resulting in different error codes from the ioctl).
So I think that the root cause seems to be the definition of the bluetooth hidp
ioctl API HIDPCONADD.
I'll try to prepare a patch for the kernel to verify this.

[Bug 32415] Re: Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard Broken in Dapper/Edgy/Feisty
I confirm my suspicion about the bug subtype B (occuring on ppc64 machines only). The problem can be worked around by building a 64bit version of bluez- utils and bluez-libs. Currently, I've got 32bit and 64bit variants installed in parallel. hidd --connect xx:yy:zz: ALWAYS prints "HID create error 14" in the 32bit variant, but ALWAYS succeeds in the 64bit variant. While this is a possible workaround for technical users (you also need a 64bit glibc, I'm afraid), it's no solution for Ubuntu, because it uses 32bit applications for both 32bit and 64bit PowerPC platforms. The root cause is the kernel API, but it's probably easier in the moment to patch the bluez-utils instead. I'll try to provide a platform-specific patch. After researching all that 32/64bit stuff it's also clear to me why the bug doesn't bite the amd64 platform. Amd64 uses 64bit userspace on a 64bit kernel, so there's no discrepancy in the ioctl structure.

[Bug 32415] Re: Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard Broken in Dapper/Edgy/Feisty
Here comes the patch. It applies to bluez-utils 2.25 and 3.7 (and all versions inbetween, presumably). The patch can safely be applied to the source tree for all platforms. It checks at compile time that it's being build for PowerPC 32bit, otherwise it doesn't change the implementation. Then it checks at runtime that it's running on a ppc64 system - in this case the structs passed through 64bit-broken bluetooth HIDP ioctls are re-packed into the layout that's expected by the 64bit kernel. I had to wrap ioctl HIDPCONNADD as well as HIDPGETCONNLIST, which also contains a pointer in its request struct. The patch is tested on PowerPC 32bit and 64bit (Apple Powerbook G4 and PowerMac G5). As a result hidd is working as expected now, my bluetooth keyboard and mouse are detected, connected, and appear as input devices. It's of course possible that there are still other 64bit issues in the bluetooth API and -utils. - Bernd ** Attachment added: "fixes bluez-utils "hidd" for ppc64 platform" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5580504/bluez-utils-2.25-hidp64.patch -- Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard Broken in Dapper/Edgy/Feisty https://launchpad.net/bugs/32415 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
