Comment 71 for bug 249448

I had the same problem as Steve Murphy (murf-parsetree) #67 with my Logitech M557 mouse.

Following Սահակ (petrosyan) #68 instructions has completely fixed the problem for me.
The mouse will now automatically connect when turned off and on again or when the computer is restarted.

I'm running Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon 64-bit
Cinnamon version is 2.2.16
Kernal version is 3.13.0-24-generic
Bluetooth/Bluez package version is 4.101-0ubuntu13

Esko, can you get your mouse to work AT ALL using the graphical "Bluetooth New Device Setup"? (see screen shot)

If you can't get it to work AT ALL, I think perhaps you could try reinstalling bluetooth, which provides bluez

run "sudo aptitude reinstall bluetooth"

On my system I have version 4.101-0ubuntu13 installed. Do "aptitude show bluetooth" to check what version you have.

P.S. Hope my comments don't come across as condescending, they are not intended to be ;-)
