Hmm, looks like this is old as the hills! I'm running on Ubuntu 13.10 (saucy?), 64 bit.
I've got an HP x4000b Bluetooth mouse. I'm using an ASUS bluetooth dongle (hci0). It would appear that the mouse loses its connection if left sitting around long enough (not sure how long yet), or if you power down the mouse and power it back up, or if you reboot. The hciconfig hci0 pscan doesn't make any difference. nor iscan, nor noscan. At first, I discovered that if I get into the bluetooth system settings, I can delete the hp bluetooth mouse, then create a new one , hit the connect button under the mouse, then go with automatic pin settings, and its back and running. I also discovered, that while in in the disconnected state, I can move the mouse around, and it will occasionally quickly come up as connected for a second or less, and then lose the connection. I then discovered that I can (with another mouse) go to the bluetooth setting, select the hp bluetooth mouse, hit the connect button under the mouse, and then click on the greyed out ON connection, and it will connect again. Now, normally, the settings for the hp mouse say "Paired No". I also have a targus bluetooth mouse, which goes thru batteries about once a week, and the system has no problems with it. Turn it off, turn it on, it works. It also says "Paired No". Any ideas what it will take to get this mouse to reconnect properly? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249448 Title: Bluetooth mouse does not re-establish connection after reboot Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “linux” source package in Hardy: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Intrepid: Won't Fix Bug description: Summary: Bluetooth device connections are not re-established after reboot Steps to Reproduce: 1) Associate a bluetooth mouse to a system using bluetooth device (PCI ID: 0x0a5c2151) 2) Ensure mouse is now working 3) Reboot system 4) Try to use mouse Expected result: All trusted device connections are re-established each time the system is booted Actual result: Bluetooth mouse is non-functional until it is deleted from Bluetooth Manager and re-added.
