I was having similar problems with a Logitech v470 bluetooth mouse. After reading Onkar Shinde's post, I realized that I was using the UI incorrectly. When you right click on the Bluetooth icon there is the "Browse Device..." option. I was incorrectly reading this as "Browse FOR Devices..." To actually connect my mouse I had to do the following:
1. Right click the Bluetooth Icon 2. Select "Preferences..." 3. In the device's tab (mine was called "fourtytwo-0", yours will be different) there is a pane for "Bonded devices" that was empty. 4. I put my mouse in discovery mode and it appeared in the bonded devices screen. 5. While it was in discovery mode I clicked the "Add Trust" button (actual name may be slightly different. So now I had a trusted device but it still didn't work and when I went to Services, it didn't show up. It turns out that the discovery mode is short lived and your device needs to be in discovery mode even if it is trusted for it to appear in the services window. So... 6. Click the Services tab. 7. Make sure the service you want is running. 8. Select the service you want to add your device to. 9. Cick the "Add" button. 10. Put your device (in my case my mouse) in discovery mode again and it should appear. Bob's your uncle. I hope this helps. As far as the bug report goes, maybe a more helpful message like "No devices found that support browsing." Unfortunately the term "Browse" is incredibly overloaded in this business. -- browse device should not try to connect non-OBEX devices https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214750 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
