Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs
Current behavior: The page at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup currently has a mismash of instructions for numerous versions of Ubuntu, without clear delineation of which instructions are applicable to which versions. Specifically, notes about how to make a device re-connect after a reboot are unclear. Desired behavior: There should be a breakdown of the page by release for any instructions that are different between the oldest and newest supported version. Additionally, there should be notes about what should work in an ideal scenario and then possible workarounds for specific problems. Background: I'm trying to use a bluetooth mouse with my desktop computer, via a USB dongle. The dongle is recognized just fine. However, in 8.04 I can't find any GUI method of connecting to the mouse (although 'hidd --search' works), while in 8.10 the applet is okay. In both cases I lose connection upon a reboot. With 8.04 I was able to work around this using the instructions involving editing /etc/default/bluetooth, in the HIDD_OPTIONS parameter. In 8.10 that line does not exist in the config file, so I have to delete and re-add the device in the applet. Both of the workarounds I used on 8.04 seem to be listed as only applying to releases older than 7.10, which clearly is not the case. ** Affects: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Bluetooth instructions are extremely confusing and disorganized https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304924 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
