I just noticed that I can do this instead of rebooting to work around the issue: sudo hciconfig hci0 down sudo hciconfig hci0 up

Since a few weeks ago, however, it started disconnecting and reconnected from the computer. The symptoms are like this: 1. The mouse works, and the bluetooth icon on the computer is visible (in gnome-shell's top bar) 2. The mouse stops working, but the bluetooth icon is still visible. This state lasts between 1 and 10 seconds. 3. The bluetooth icon vanishes. This can last for half a second if I keep trying to use the mouse, to forever I I leave the mouse alone 4. The bluetooth icon reappears and the mouse starts working again. This state last from 2-3 seconds if I don't move the mouse, to seemingly forever if I continuously move the mouse This seems to occur only after a suspend/resume cycle, and rebooting the computer fixes the issue. The only thing I see in syslog is this when the mouse reconnects: Apr 11 10:03:10 tadzim3 kernel: [52026.494469] hid-generic 0005:0458:0139.002F: unknown main item tag 0x0 Apr 11 10:03:10 tadzim3 kernel: [52026.494540] input: Traveler 9005BT as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-4/2-4:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:512/0005:0458:0139.002F/input/input59 Apr 11 10:03:10 tadzim3 kernel: [52026.494899] hid-generic 0005:0458:0139.002F: input,hidraw3: BLUETOOTH HID v3.12 Mouse [Traveler 9005BT] on e8:2a:ea:8b:a5:5f ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 Package: bluetooth (not installed) ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-34.45-generic 3.16.7-ckt8 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-34-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu8.2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Sat Apr 11 09:49:37 2015 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-01-23 (77 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140722.2) InterestingModules: bnep rfcomm btusb bluetooth MachineType: LENOVO 20266 ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-34-generic.efi.signed root=UUID=eecad38d-4fff-462c-92bc-357fa12e5515 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: bluez UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to utopic on 2015-01-31 (69 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 03/25/2014 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: 76CN35WW dmi.board.asset.tag: No Asset Tag dmi.board.name: Yoga2 dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: 31900058STD dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Tag dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvr76CN35WW:bd03/25/2014:svnLENOVO:pn20266:pvrLenovoYoga2Pro:rvnLENOVO:rnYoga2:rvr31900058STD:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrLenovoYoga2Pro: dmi.product.name: 20266 dmi.product.version: Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO hciconfig: hci0: Type: BR/EDR Bus: USB BD Address: E8:2A:EA:8B:A5:5F ACL MTU: 1021:5 SCO MTU: 96:5 UP RUNNING PSCAN RX bytes:1873821 acl:123158 sco:0 events:2377 errors:0 TX bytes:29044 acl:238 sco:0 commands:218 errors:0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1442896/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
