I was able to make progress and solve half-the keyboard-part of the problem. To boot-with EfiT and Grub- and login to my account, I would use a USB keyboard*. The apple kB would connect after login. The mouse would be more difficult. Creating a /lib/bluetooth folder, adding a folder named <mac address of device> and placing a file named pincodes- Code: <unique ID> mac address- in the folder worked to keep the Kb connection on between reboots and allowing login with the Bluetooth keyboard**. The mouse worked but would not stay connected after rebooting. I solved the mouse problem using Blueman but it has to be reconnected each time I boot.
* Previously, the Bluetooth KB worked through EfiT and grub but the connetioned failed at the loging screen and then worked after login. Adding /lib/bluetooth caused the Bluetooth keyboard to stop working at EfiT or Grub then allowed connection through login. ** I may be missing a step-the addition of code pointing to "pincodes" in another bluetooth file. I found the advice after many wild searches and am unable to created the exact wording of the search. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1001825 Title: apple bluetooth keyboard and mouse: conflict between ubuntu and OS X To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1001825/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
