Problem fixed for me by following the recommendation by murphy.md previously in this thread (2008-11-10).
Specifically, followed these steps: 1. Right-click on the bluetooth icon in the quickstarter tray 2. Selected, "Always visible" 3. Removed my known device "HP Bluetooth PC Card Mouse" 4. Add (again) my "HP Bluetooth PC Card Mouse" Results: Mouse works, and does not drop the connection (timeout) over the next few minutes. -- Bluetooth mouse stops after a while https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292030 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
