I stand by what I said before. After that comment, I did only these four steps:
1. Install Ubuntu on a clean partition. 2. Pair and connect using the Bluetooth UI in the Ubuntu desktop (BT icon → Bluetooth Settings). In other words, use normally. 3. Immediately (not sure if it makes any difference), list the device address using bluez-list-devices (see output at the end). 4. Issue the following command: sudo bluez-test-device trusted 30:59:B7:73:B6:C6 yes Done. It works indefinitely. I can confirm that. The output of bluez-list-devices: [ /org/bluez/776/hci0 ] … Address = C4:17:FE:(hidden) … Devices = dev_30_59_B7_73_B6_C6 … [ /org/bluez/776/hci0/dev_30_59_B7_73_B6_C6 ] Product = 0x07a2 Services = dbus.Array([], signature=dbus.Signature('o'), variant_level=1) Class = 0x000580 Alias = Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Mouse Icon = input-mouse Blocked = 0 Connected = 1 Address = 30:59:B7:73:B6:C6 Version = 0x0129 UUIDs = 0x1000 0x1124 0x1200 Name = Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Mouse Adapter = /org/bluez/776/hci0 Trusted = 1 Vendor = 0x045e Paired = 1 I still have a few problems with the mouse wheel (sometimes it stops working briefly). Also, the connection takes 3 to 5 seconds to reestablish (perceptible after returning from a suspend), but other than that it works fine, and, most importantly, the connection is kept between reboots and suspends. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-bluetooth in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1094744 Title: MS Sculpt Touch Mouse needs to be re-paired periodically To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-bluetooth/+bug/1094744/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
