Apple wireless mouse not working

[Wolf Rogner]

After upgrading Ubuntu yesterday, my Apple wireless mouse stopped working again.
Last time, it was an error in the kernel, this time, it looks like an error in libbluetooth3 or any of the bluez stack (as these were the only libs upgraded).

Tried to revert to the old bluez stack. Did not work either.

So it seems this is a regression of Bug 814250 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/814250)

I faced a problem wit some similarities but I am not sure to face the same bug.

My conf: Kubuntu 12.04 alpha 1 with KDE 4.8 updated dayly. Laptop : ACER one D531h

My bluetooth hardware: a USB Belkin bluetooth dongle + wireless Mouse and keyboard

Bus 004 Device 009: ID 050d:016a Belkin Components Bluetooth Mini Dongle

My cellular phone is a Samsung Jet S9000.

I sent sucessfully JPG files from the phone to the PC. But I am not able to send files from my laptop to my phone.

In Dmesg, I found the following error messages:

[45671.258277] Bluetooth: Unexpected continuation frame (len 0)
[45678.543461] Bluetooth: Unexpected continuation frame (len 0)
[45681.709535] Bluetooth: Unexpected continuation frame (len 0)

When trying to explore my phone files from my laptop using the bluetooth link, the message is "périphérique occupé" (device busy).

Is that the same bug? Thanks for the reply. Yours. Xavier
