This is not really a bug, or it may be a different sort of bug. Apple firmware simulates the BT keyboard/mouse as USB devices; these are then available after booting Ubuntu through the USB-HID interface (they're listed when running the "sudo lsusb -v" command). Unfortunately, not all functionality is available this way: the fn-key on the keyboard; the scroll ball on the mouse.
In order for them to be treated as Bluetooth devices you must first reset them with the command $ sudo hciconfig hci0 reset then (with a temporary USB keyboard/mouse attached) activate the Bluetooth applet and let the BT keyboard/mouse be discovered and paired. Keyboard fn-key and mouse scroll ball are now working, and the "sudo lsusb -v" command does no longer list these devices. Unfortunately, these BT pairings do not survive a reboot, not even when the line options hci_usb reset=1 is added to a file like /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf. That would be the real bug... -- bluetooth applet unaware of pairing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346883 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
