Bug Description

Binary package hint: bluez-utils

I updated Intrepid today, and my bluetooth mouse no longer pairs with my eeePC 901.

bluez-utils is installed, but there is no hidd binary. If I use the bluetooth tray icon I can get the setup device screen and see my mouse there, however selecting it causes an immediate "failed" screen to appear.

sitapati@sitapati-laptop:~$ dpkg -l bluez-utils

Go through and choose properties. Remove the mouse from that list of paired devices and try to re-pair.

Joshua, will your mouse get reconnect after reboot? Mine doesn't and I reported in #Bug 249448
