32-bit Hardy, upgraded from Gutsy (32-bit). Using a dinovo media desktop laser keyboard and mouse. Both devices are paired and trusted.
I have the exact same problem as described by Simone Malacarne. I can reconnect the devices using the same workaround he described. I agree we need to reopen the bug. My system has original Hardy bluetooth configuration files -- I have made no manual changes. This is a huge problem for me, because I bought my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse set with the intention of eliminating my wired keyboard and mouse. Currently, whenever I leave the computer for a while, I would need to plug in a wired device for a moment just to resume using the Bluetooth devices. If that is the case, I might as well throw away the Bluetooth devices, because they are useless for me! I would like to avoid kludgy workarounds if possible, like the suggestions above to hard-code device-specific connections or disable ACPI. Those seem like the sorts of things that will, in the long term, break more than they fix. Adam: I am pretty sure that the Bluetooth devices shut down after a while as power-saving feature. The question is, once I move the mouse or hit a key on the keyboard, why does it not successfully re-connect, until *after* I use a wired device to manually "disconnect" the Bluetooth device from the Gnome bluetooth-properties applet? -- Bluetooth mouse doesn't work. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/29506 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
