I just bought this same mouse and I am having a similar problem. However I am using Arch Linux with KDE not gnome. I have discovered that you can reconnect without re-pairing. However it is not an automatic process.
You must press the pairing button on the bottom of the mouse until the it goes into pairing mode then on the host you must enter the following command >From a root terminal # hidd --search Or from a user terminal $ sudo hidd --search The mouse should then reconnect, without root it does not connect I have tried it. It seems the problem could be to do with permissions. Not sure if this helps get to the root of the problem, but it least it may save unnecessary constant un-pair/re-pair actions until it is resolved. It also shows the problem is not gnome related and more likely bluez related. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to 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/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1094744/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
