I am using an Asus eee 1000 on Jaunty (then Beta). I have been running error free with my Microsoft 5000 bluetooth mouse until today. I used the "sudo hidd --search" command which was entirely successful and permanent fix.
Today updates loaded the new bluez suite of packages updating me from version 4 to version 4.1. It immediately caused my mouse to malfunction again. Messing around with pairing it up was only a temporary solution. After reboots, repairing, re-appling the hidd --search command I gave up. I force regressed the package suite bluez from 4.1 to 4 using Synaptic Package Manager, Package tab, Forced Version tab. I immediately got my mouse back. I tested by allowing the netbook to sleep and reboot. All reconnected shortly after boot up. Looks like this update is broken. Regression of the package worked for me. -- [Jaunty] Cannot connect to a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/343727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
