Public bug reported: Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Release: 12.04
$ apt-cache policy bluetooth Installed: 4.98-2ubuntu7 Candidate: 4.98-2ubuntu7 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/precise/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Found in Oneric and ports to Precise- on Mac-mini 2011: Once logged in with a wired mouse & keyboard, I can use a bluetooth mouse & keyboard just fine. When the system reboots, Bluetooth works through Refit and grub. At the login screen, bluetooth connection is dormant. I tried pairing the devices as root. This helped stabilize the connection, i.e., once a device was paired it would stay paired through reboots. Prior to that, I would login with a wired Kb and have to re-pair the Bluetooth devices. Also, turning on auto-login to bypass the login screen and go directly to account did not work. The Unlock Keyring Login screen showed I wasn't logged in and the paired devices did not work. However, an unpaired device was recognized. ** Affects: bluez (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/986677 Title: bluetooth devices fail to connect prior to account login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/986677/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
