I initially tried the built in Ubuntu (9.04) Bluetooth stack. I am using the HP Bluetooth PC card mouse. The keyboard and mouse disconnect themselves to conserve battery when idle.Īs anyone been able to use the bluetooth mouse successfully in ubuntu 9.04. The reason I don't have the HIDD_ENABLED and HIDD_OPTIONS lines is that I do not have the bluez-compat package installed that contains the hidd command, because it is not supposed to be part of Intrepid anymore.Ĭan I suggest as an experiment that you boot up on a LiveCD (or a VM) so that you have a fresh, default environment to work with, pair your mouse and keyboard as normal and then issue the sudo hciconfig hci0 pscan command and see how you go? I've now setup four machines with Intrepid and Bluetooth mice (cabled keyboards, though) and they are currently working perfectly with this workaround.Īlso, the disconnection timeout is generally a function of the hardware, not software. My /etc/default/bluetooth is far simpler than yours: Changing the IdleTimeout didn't seem to matter. I changed IdleTimeout to 0 so it won't time out anymore (hopefully). # be disconnect (defaults to 0 for no timeout) # Set idle timeout (in minutes) before the connection will # This section contains options which are not specific to any

# Configuration file for the input service

I was looking around for other ideas and came across the /etc/bluetooth/nf file and found I tried the pscan command as well, but it didn't pick up my mouse or keyboard. I am also using Ubuntu 8.10.Īlright, here is my current /etc/default/bluetooth I got both my mouse and keyboard hooked up now and both come to life when I get to the login screen after a fresh boot up or restart. # Note that not every bluetooth dongle is capable of switching back to HID # you will have bluetooth functionality from your dongle instead of only HID.

# This setting will switch HID devices (e.g mouse/keyboad) to HCI mode, that is # compatibility note: If this variable is not found bluetooth will Gave up on it a while back because I was switching alot between Windows and Linux at the time and couldn't get the bluetooth to transfer, but anyways, here is my /etc/default/bluetooth. I decided to break back out my bluetooth stuff and give it a go once again. You can try this page and see if there is anything additional on it you haven't tried yet.
