[Bug 1094744] Re: MS Sculpt Touch Mouse needs to be re-paired periodically

 

After rebooting and still having the problem no matter which line
combination (device or adapter oui, with or without name) in the xml
file I used, I rebooted and tried this command I saw in the
BluetoothSetup community help wiki page:

sudo bluez-test-device trusted 30:59:B7:73:B6:C6 yes

Now it is working. I even removed the lines I had added in the XML,
rebooted, and it is still working, so I'm crediting the solution to the
above command even though I don't fully understand why it is working
when bluez-list-devices had the device as trusted as well. Maybe because
I used sudo, I don't know.

Ideally, I'd have a clean Ubuntu installation and do just that to make
sure I only needed that, but I'll leave that for another time.

Bug description:
  [Impact] The patch makes Microsoft Wedge/Sculpt Touch mice stay connected.
  [Test Case] Get a Microsoft Wedge/Sculpt Touch mouse, pair it, restart session, watch it automatically re-pair.
  [Regression Potential] Little. The patched piece of XML is only relevant to hardware having the same ID.

  When you don't use the mouse for a long enough time, the mouse
  disconnects and won't reconnect. I have to go into bluetooth settings,
  remove it, and re-pair it.

  1)
  ~ % lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
  Release:	12.04

  2)
  ~ % apt-cache policy bluez
  bluez:
    Installed: 4.98-2ubuntu7
    Candidate: 4.98-2ubuntu7
    Version table:
   *** 4.98-2ubuntu7 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3)
  I expected the mouse to reconnect automatically, or at least after I try to reconnect manually through the bluetooth settings.

  4)
  I have to re-pair the mouse in order to use it again. Turning the mouse off and on doesn't work either.
