Comment 5 for bug 140668

This is not a duplicate bug of bug #123920 - that bug is about pairing keyboard/mouse at all, which works just fine for me. This bug is about the input service stopping to work after a certain unknown period of inactivity, like when reading or watching a movie without touching the mouse for an extended period of time.

Can someone please unduplicate?

For my current workaround I have a launcher in my panel that goes to a script that looks like this:

  $ cat /home/stoffe/.config/restart_bt.sh
  #!/bin/sh

  dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/service_input org.bluez.Service.Stop

  dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/service_input org.bluez.Service.Start

That works for me since I use a laptop and can click that launcher whenever input service has gone away, to wake it up again.
