Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-bluetooth
Computer: Dell XPS M2010.
Release: 10.10 Maverick
This computer has a special detachable bluetooth keyboard that is controlled by the BIOS. It works fine in Grub but stops working as soon as Linux loads (even from a live CD). The keyboard also has a mouse pad built in that DOES work with no problems, even if bluetooth is switched OFF in Ubuntu.
Apparently, the BIOS simulates USB, I don't know if that is relevant.
This bug has been reported before, but closed unsolved: https:/
affects: | gnome-bluetooth (Ubuntu) → linux (Ubuntu) |

Hi Eddie,
Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http:// cdimage. ubuntu. com/daily/ current/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications- >Accessories- >Terminal) . It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.
apport-collect -p linux 714764
Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs- upstream- testing' text. Please let us know your results.
Thanks in advance.
