[Bug 1318639] Re: Bluetooth mouse connects but does not move pointer

 

With the kernel you suggested, 3.15.0-031500rc5-generic, the bluetooth
applet does not show up. If I manually enable bluetooth (it started
inactive) in control panel, the user interface says "bluetooth inactive"
even though the knob is turned on -> hints activation failed. The
controls for adding new bluetooth devices are gray. There is of course
no mouse-battery power indicator.

Title:
  Bluetooth mouse connects but does not move pointer

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 14.04. Bluetooth add new device wizard finished without any
  error. Bluetooth applet shows Bluetooth enabled. The applet shows that
  the mouse is connected too, if user (me) click it once. It can auto-
  reconnect this way on reboot. Whenever it is 'connected', power applet
  can show the batter remains for the mouse - and when the mouse's
  batter depletes, the power applet knows it and report correctly.

  The problem: cursor doesn't move. In fact, if I boot into Windows 8.0
  on the same host, the cursor moves. The same mouse works fine on
  Windows XP too.It doesn't have on/off switch.

  dmesg:
  Code:

  [  129.914221] Bluetooth: HIDP (Human Interface Emulation) ver 1.2
  [  129.914256] Bluetooth: HIDP socket layer initialized

  The device mentioned in dmesg does not exist as a file node in that path (perhaps wasn't supposed to):
  Code:

  $ ls /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb6/6-1/6-1:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:21/input14
  ls: no se puede acceder a /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb6/6-1/6-1:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:21/input14: No existe el archivo o el directorio

  XINPUT has:

  Code:

  $ xinput
  ⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
  ⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]

      ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard            	id=16	[slave  keyboard (3)]

  Attempt to enable device id=17 has no effect. I am afraid it is always enabled:
  Code:

  $ xinput --enable 17

  It seems the mouse device does not send any data to the host when the cursor not moving. The following CODE demonstrate that:
  1. computer boots, /dev/inputs/mouse3 device does not exist
  2. user click bluetooth mouse and /dev/inputs/mouse3 device come to exist, that means mouse3 is the bluetooth
  3. but it doesn't generate any data when moving, compare to a real USB mouse mouse2

  Code:

  $ ls
  by-id    event1   event12  event4  event7  js0     mouse1
  by-path  event10  event2   event5  event8  mice    mouse2
  event0   event11  event3   event6  event9  mouse0
  $ ls
  by-id    event1   event12  event3  event6  event9  mouse0  mouse3
  by-path  event10  event13  event4  event7  js0     mouse1
  event0   event11  event2   event5  event8  mice    mouse2
  $ sudo -i
  # od < /dev/input/mouse3
  ^C
  # od < /dev/input/mouse2

  ^C

  The most singular thing that happened is: in one occassion, I boot
  into Windows 8 and use the mouse, when I reboot back, the cursor go on
  moving for a few minutes and mute. It seems, using it in Windows
  'oils' the mouse. But I couldn't repeatly reproduce this. I am very
  certain about this. The cursor doesn't move even right after the first
  time add-new-bluetooth device wizard quit successfully, the single one
  time it worked, is after Windows 8 oiled it.

  On another behavior: power applet seems to prevent the mouse going
  sleep, which it does by itself in a few minutes in Windows - until all
  power drains out from the mouse, but it is a trivial problem that I
  can afford not to solve.
