I run a freshly installed 11.04 with Gnome desktop and experience that
bluetooth fails on random occasions. My Logitech MX mouse that also
connects with bluetooth (separate logitech adapter) works like a charm,
but my Apple bluetooth keyboard with a generic bluetooth dongle just
won't work every 2nd reboot or so.
I've solved this until today by rebooting as it magically starts working
after reboot. However I made a fix today that doesn't require rebooting:
I put a shell file on my desk called restartbluetooth.sh looking like below:
sudo service bluetooth restart
I then ran sudo visudo and added the below shown line to the end of visudo:
myusername ALL = NOPASSWD: /home/myusername/Desktop/bluetoothrestart.sh
As I can use my mouse but not my keyboard, I can click the
restartbluetooth.sh on my desktop and execute the command without having
to write in my password as it's kind of tough to do without a keyboard.
Maybe not the cleanest solution to grant root permissions to the file,
but hey, it works!
