I found the post below in Bug #284982, I did the first two commands. $hcitool dev Devices: hci0 00:16:41:96:77:64 $sudo hciconfig hci0 reset
Once it was reset bluez just picked up the mouse and started working. I guess that's because I had added it in the GUI before. It also works after I restart Ubuntu. Please test and let me know what you discover on your systems. >Miroslav ġurian wrote on 2009-04-05 in Bug #284982: > >SOLVED > >Open a terminal and issue: > >hcitool dev >sudo hciconfig <hci0> reset >hcitool scan >sudo hcitool cc <MACaddres> > >On my machine it looks like this: > >a...@acutake:~$ hcitool dev >Devices: > hci0 00:0A:3A:88:3A:0E <--This is the ID and MAC address of your bluetooth > controller >a...@acutake:~$ sudo hciconfig hci0 reset >a...@acutake:~$ hcitool scan >Scanning ... > 00:0F:DE:87:9F:EA Aas-P910i >a...@acutake:~$ sudo hcitool cc 00:0F:DE:87:9F:EA <--This is the MAC address >of your mouse >a...@acutake:~$ > >Then you simply add new bluetooth device via bluetooth aplet on the panel. >The device should be discovered now.
