My Apple Magic Trackpad keeps losing connection. I use: Ubuntu 23.04, blueman, usb-dongl Bluetooth v5, Apple Magic Trackpad. I entered the pairing code "0000". The trackpad goes off very often. It periodically disconnects, freezes for ten seconds, and then reconnects. Also, if you change the pointer acceleration settings for the trackpad using the "dconf editor" program, then these settings are reset and you have to re-enable them. This is suffering( It's not at all clear how to fix this. Internet advice doesn't help at all.

Such PIN is '0000' which can be entered on a regular keyboard. Once connected, it also requires granting authorization to connect again. See the two attachments for such dialogs. When trying to setup this device manually (after moving it from another system, for example), by default Ubuntu will propose a random 6-number PIN, which can't be entered on the trackpad, which then means pairing fails. This trackpad should connect automatically, although I don't personally know enough about bluetooth to suggest how this should happen. I have documented a workaround to pair this device here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/AppleMagicTrackpad Once paired the device does not need pairing each time the system is used / restarted, it will remember it.
