[Bug 281580] Re: [Intrepid] New Bluetooth Wizard fails to pair with devices: reintroduce hidd

[David Teirney]

I am using MythBuntu Intrepid. The standard Bluetooth Wizard setup my
bluetooth mouse fine, but then for no reason at all the mouse just
stopped working. I'm assuming it disconnected due to inactivity as this
behavior was described earlier in the ticket.

Clicking repeatedly on the mouse, turning off and on didn't help any.

Trying to reconnect through the Bluetooth Wizard just stated that
"Pairing Failed". So, after some frustration and googling I found this
ticket.

I have just installed "bluez-compat" and run "sudo hidd --search". The
mouse was found, connected and now seems to be working fine.

I am disappointed that something as mainstream as using a bluetooth
mouse doesn't work robustly out-of-the-box in the latest and greatest
release of Ubuntu.
