Same problem with both 7.10 and 8.04. Right click on Bluetooth icon, select "browse device," click on "Bluetooth Travel Mouse" (type "mouse"), click on "Connect." Get the following error:

"obex://[00:07:61:3b:e5:e8]" is not a valid location.

The number string is the Bluetooth mouse's address and is correct.

I have worked around the problem by creating a short script containing

sudo hidd --connect 00:07:61:3b:e5:e8
hidd --show

The `hidd --show` command isn't at all necessary. Sometimes I have to hit the "connect" button on the mouse or turn it off then on.

Regards, guys, and thanks for all the fish.
