I haven't loaded 10.3 yet, but I have always used these two commands from the console as I have never found the GUI to work in previous versions. Open a console and su to root, enter hcitool scan Make sure your bluetooth device is in search mode. If the device is located the command will return some information including the address in the form of xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. Using the hidd command, enter: hidd --connect xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (where the xx: is the device hardware address listed with the above command. The device should be connected. Hope this helps.
