Bluetooth mouse opens "Grant access" window

[Norbert]

Binary package hint: bluez

I have a VAIO F13Z1R with integrated bluetooth and bluetooth mouse Logitech M555b. They worked together successfully under 10.04.2 LTS.
After upgrading to 11.04 mouse is broken. When I switch on bluetooth on the devices, I got a windows with access prompt (see screenshot). When I try to add mouse manually via "Set up new device" a got "Setting up 'Logitech Bluetooth Mouse M555b' failed" or NULL PIN (see screenshot).

NULL PIN-code window

Output of "sudo hcidump -XYt > $HOME/hci.log".

Grant access window also appears on 11.04 LiveCD.

[Norbert (nrbrtx)]

I get mouse to work with following actions:
1. System -> Preferencies -> Startup Applications
Uncheck "Bluetooth Manager" mark
2. Reboot
3. Run 'bluetooth-wizard' from terminal
Mouse found and successfully set up. No grant access window appeared.
4. System -> Preferencies -> Startup Applications
Check "Bluetooth Manager" mark
5. Reboot
6. Mouse works from login screen!

I need comments from developers.

this affect me also on 10.04 after lastest update, same mouse, on a Dell Precision M4500, it worked till today.
I also tested the Norbert WorkAraund with no luck.

[Jefferson Matos (jeffersontakazaki)]

I experienced the same problem in Sony Vaio Vpcf113fx. My Bluetooth mouse didn't work even there executed the Norbert footsteps.

The same problem here.
Norbert's workaround did not work for me!

[spooky33 (sozialkunde)]

Got it working ;-)
For me it works after I clicked the mouse's "CONNECT" button and then performed the bluetooth setup!

This still affects Lucid; can't get my mouse (same M555b) working on a Toshiba Qosmio. It works fine with Maverick and Oneiric Beta 1.

i get this with 12.04 using an a4tech bt-630 bluetooth mouse.

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

headlessspider: please file a separate bug for your issue, it's most assuredly not the same problem. Thanks!

[Norbert (nrbrtx)]

Bug exists in Quantal.

I got my M555b only working with a combination of a lot of patience, blueman-manager doing the same thing over and over again and sometimes restarting bluetooth :/

[Stephen Platz (steveplatz)]

I was able to get my mouse paired after following the steps in #5 then #9. My mouse failed to connect suddenly with the same error in the syslog. It's a Thinkpad Bluetooth Laser.

The only way that the M555b from Logitech is working on Ubuntu 14.04 for me was to follow this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/bluetooth_mouse

[Konrad Zapałowicz (kzapalowicz)]

This is reported against an old version of Ubuntu and many things has changed since then. Because of that we won't fix this issue however if this behavior repeats on a modern version please fill a bug report against it and we will take it from there.
