This same thing happens to my mouse (Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000) in Ubuntu Gusty 7.10 - Gnome 2.20.1 I have a IBM ThinkPad X41 Tablet with integrated bluetooth. I am pretty much running the stock version of Ubuntu (no changes since install, except for updates) After a period of ~15-20 minutes of inactivity the mouse will loose connectivity and will not reconnect when I move it around or press buttons. It will never loose connectivity if I am using the mouse. I did get the mouse to re-connect just once when I violently pressed every button in a moment of rage, but that has not worked twice. the only thing that seems to reconnect the mouse is pressing the connection button on the mouse and typing sudo hidd --search in a terminal. -Matt -- Bluetooth Mouse looses connection after some time of inactivity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175743 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 175743] Re: Bluetooth Mouse looses connection after some time of inactivity
It appears this bug is going to be fixed soon in a kernel update, but I don't know if that is the temporary fix or a long-term fix. I just thought I'd give my two bits in case it helps anyone working on this problem. I have a Logitech MX5000 keyboard and a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 connecting to an internal bluetooth module of a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop. For me, after a period of inactivity, only the Logitech MX5000 keyboard cannot regain connectivity to the laptop. The mouse always works fine after any period of inactivity. So I have to open the bluetooth tray applet with the mouse and manually disconnect the keyboard (it shows as connected) and then press a few keys and it will reconnect up. This did NOT happen in 7.10 Gutsy and I still have Gutsy on a separate partition and when I boot to it, I never have disconnect problems. Only in Hardy and only my Logitech MX5000 keyboard. What the difference between my keyboard and mouse is as far as sleep modes and connectivity, I don't know, but if there are any commands I can run and post the output here that might help somebody investigating the bug, let me know. I'd also like to note that my keyboard never disconnects if I am using the mouse for extended periods of time. In other words, it doesn't appear that it's the keyboard going to sleep and not able to reconnect, because if I am only using the mouse for hours and don't touch the keyboard, the keyboard never disconnects. The keyboard only disconnects if laptop screen powers off after a period of inactivity. -- Bluetooth Mouse looses connection after some time of inactivity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175743 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can pair both easily using the tray applet, and they both work flawlessly initially. However, after some time of inactivity (Not using one mouse for some time, Going away from the System, etc) the connection is lost and won't be re-established, even after moving the mouse constantly. I go to Configuration -> Input Devices and both Mice are listed. The mouse that hasn't been used for some time (don't know the exact amount), doesn't show the yellow star in front of its name any more (The other one in use still has the yellow star). Selecting the inactive mouse and pressing "Connect" doesn't help. I can only re-connect if I press the "Discoverable" Button on the mouse and then press "Connect" in the dialog.

The weird thing is that the bluetooth manager shows the keyboard and mouse as connected (when they are asleep), but if I manually disconnect and then wiggle the mouse or press some keys, they reconnect just fine. It seems as though the problem is that bluez doesn't recognize that the devices are disconnected when they go to sleep, as it is perfectly capable of automatically detecting and reconnecting them once I tell it that they are disconnected. -- Bluetooth Mouse looses connection after some time of inactivity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175743 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 175743] Re: Bluetooth Mouse looses connection after some time of inactivity
I believe that Bug #220249 is another symptom of this same underlying bug, so it should probably be marked as a duplicate of this bug. I have the same problem under Gnome on Hardy. I use a Logitech diNovo Media Desktop Laser keyboard and mouse combo. When one of the devices has been inactive for some time (20+ minutes, don't know how long for sure), that device will be disconnected as an X input device, but will still show up as connected according to bluez-utils and bluez-gnome programs (e.g., hcitool, bluetooth-properties, etc). Once I manually disconnect it via bluetooth-properties, then using the device again (i.e., pressing a key, if the BT keyboard fell asleep, or wiggling the BT mouse if the BT mouse fell asleep) will immediately cause the device to reconnect and be re-established as an X input device. When both the BT keyboard and BT mouse are connected and active, `ls -l /dev/input/by-path` shows th the following symlinks to device files: pci-:00:07.4-usb-0:aclXXYYXXYYXXYY- -> ../mouseX pci-:00:07.4-usb-0:aclXXYYXXYYXXYY-event- -> ../eventY pci-:00:07.4-usb-0:aclAABBAABBAABB-event- -> ../eventZ where XXYYXXYYXXYY is the address of my BT mouse, AABBAABBAABB is the address of my BT keyboard, and ../mouseX, ../eventY, and ../eventZ are the device files for the mouse, the mouse events, and the keyboard events respectively. If I let the BT keyboard fall asleep, then the keyboard event device file and the symlink are removed, but bluez-utils and bluez-gnome programs still shows the keyboard as being connected. Likewise, if I allow the BT mouse to fall asleep, its device files and symlinks are removed, but it is still listed as connected according to bluez-utils and bluez-gnome programs. I hypothesize that some low-level bluez function detects that the device is asleep, and sends a dbus message to remove the device file, but that a higher-level function fails to get the signal, and therefore does not think that the device is disconnected; thus when the high-level function sees a request to re-connect, it drops it because it thinks the device is still connected. Alternatively, perhaps X somehow detects that no input has come in via a device, and removes the device file. I am looking into the first possibility right now, but there are so many layers of frameworks and messages in the code that I am having a hard time figuring out what does what. Input from the bluez developers as to what dbus messages are sent and received in what modules would be greatly appreciated. ** Also affects: bluez-gnome (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Bluetooth Mouse looses connection after some time of inactivity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175743 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 175743] Re: Bluetooth Mouse looses connection after some time of inactivity
I have backported the (temporary?) fix from bluez CVS to Ubuntu's bluez- utils 3.26-0ubuntu6 package that makes the IO timeout for input devices configurable via a conf file, including the default option of having no IO timeout. Attached is the diff of the package source. I have tested it (using Gnome) and having no IO timeout for input devices appears to have solved the problem for me. However, I do not know what long-term effects, if any, this will have on things like mouse battery life, etc. Removal of IO timeouts for input devices may have other effects that I have not forseen. (I don't really understand why there was an IO timeout for input devices to begin with...) Also, I use a desktop computer, so I don't know what effects, if any, it has for laptop and other battery-powered computers. Assuming you know how to build Debian/Ubuntu packages from source, you should only have to get the build-dep and source for the bluez-utils package and use the following commands: patch -p0 http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14659037/bluez-utils-3.26__input__.diff -- Bluetooth Mouse looses connection after some time of inactivity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175743 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It appears this bug is going to be fixed soon in a kernel update, but I don't know if that is the temporary fix or a long-term fix. I just thought I'd give my two bits in case it helps anyone working on this problem. I have a Logitech MX5000 keyboard and a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 connecting to an internal bluetooth module of a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop. For me, after a period of inactivity, only the Logitech MX5000 keyboard cannot regain connectivity to the laptop. The mouse always works fine after any period of inactivity. So I have to open the bluetooth tray applet with the mouse and manually disconnect the keyboard (it shows as connected) and then press a few keys and it will reconnect up. This did NOT happen in 7.10 Gutsy and I still have Gutsy on a separate partition and when I boot to it, I never have disconnect problems. Only in Hardy and only my Logitech MX5000 keyboard. What the difference between my keyboard and mouse is as far as sleep modes and connectivity, I don't know, but if there are any commands I can run and post the output here that might help somebody investigating the bug, let me know. I'd also like to note that my keyboard never disconnects if I am using the mouse for extended periods of time. In other words, it doesn't appear that it's the keyboard going to sleep and not able to reconnect, because if I am only using the mouse for hours and don't touch the keyboard, the keyboard never disconnects.

[Bug 175743] Re: Bluetooth Mouse looses connection after some time of inactivity
I believe that Bug #220249 is another symptom of this same underlying bug, so it should probably be marked as a duplicate of this bug. I have the same problem under Gnome on Hardy. I use a Logitech diNovo Media Desktop Laser keyboard and mouse combo. When one of the devices has been inactive for some time (20+ minutes, don't know how long for sure), that device will be disconnected as an X input device, but will still show up as connected according to bluez-utils and bluez-gnome programs (e.g., hcitool, bluetooth-properties, etc). Once I manually disconnect it via bluetooth-properties, then using the device again (i.e., pressing a key, if the BT keyboard fell asleep, or wiggling the BT mouse if the BT mouse fell asleep) will immediately cause the device to reconnect and be re-established as an X input device. When both the BT keyboard and BT mouse are connected and active, `ls -l /dev/input/by-path` shows th the following symlinks to device files: pci-:00:07.4-usb-0:aclXXYYXXYYXXYY- -> ../mouseX pci-:00:07.4-usb-0:aclXXYYXXYYXXYY-event- -> ../eventY pci-:00:07.4-usb-0:aclAABBAABBAABB-event- -> ../eventZ where XXYYXXYYXXYY is the address of my BT mouse, AABBAABBAABB is the address of my BT keyboard, and ../mouseX, ../eventY, and ../eventZ are the device files for the mouse, the mouse events, and the keyboard events respectively. If I let the BT keyboard fall asleep, then the keyboard event device file and the symlink are removed, but bluez-utils and bluez-gnome programs still shows the keyboard as being connected. Likewise, if I allow the BT mouse to fall asleep, its device files and symlinks are removed, but it is still listed as connected according to bluez-utils and bluez-gnome programs. I hypothesize that some low-level bluez function detects that the device is asleep, and sends a dbus message to remove the device file, but that a higher-level function fails to get the signal, and therefore does not think that the device is disconnected; thus when the high-level function sees a request to re-connect, it drops it because it thinks the device is still connected. Alternatively, perhaps X somehow detects that no input has come in via a device, and removes the device file. I am looking into the first possibility right now, but there are so many layers of frameworks and messages in the code that I am having a hard time figuring out what does what. Input from the bluez developers as to what dbus messages are sent and received in what modules would be greatly appreciated. ** Also affects: bluez-gnome (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Bluetooth Mouse looses connection after some time of inactivity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175743 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 175743] Re: Bluetooth Mouse looses connection after some time of inactivity
I have backported the (temporary?) fix from bluez CVS to Ubuntu's bluez- utils 3.26-0ubuntu6 package that makes the IO timeout for input devices configurable via a conf file, including the default option of having no IO timeout. Attached is the diff of the package source. I have tested it (using Gnome) and having no IO timeout for input devices appears to have solved the problem for me. However, I do not know what long-term effects, if any, this will have on things like mouse battery life, etc. Removal of IO timeouts for input devices may have other effects that I have not forseen. (I don't really understand why there was an IO timeout for input devices to begin with...) Also, I use a desktop computer, so I don't know what effects, if any, it has for laptop and other battery-powered computers. Assuming you know how to build Debian/Ubuntu packages from source, you should only have to get the build-dep and source for the bluez-utils package and use the following commands: patch -p0 http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14659037/bluez-utils-3.26__input__.diff -- Bluetooth Mouse looses connection after some time of inactivity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175743 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 175743] Re: Bluetooth Mouse looses connection after some time of inactivity
I have been testing with my patched copy of blues-utils for a week now, and have noticed no ill effects. The mouse and keyboard reconnect within a second or two of pressing a key or moving the device, regardless of how long they have been idle. Unless someone has a solid reason why this is no good, I recommend integrating this patch and testing it with a wider array of hardware, in preparation for release as an update.
