This should be fixed by setting the mouse to be trusted in the preferences. Select the mouse in the paired devices, and select "trust". In recent versions, bluez-gnome's wizard will do it automatically. I am experiencing the same issue with the same brand and model of mouse as the reporter. I worked around similarly by running as root 'hidd --connect XX'. My bluetooth-properties showed the device as trusted and I also tried several cycles of 'Distrust/Trust', to no avail. Yeah, I tried setting it to be trusted as well (sorry I didn't notice your followup earlier, Bastien). I'll test this with F11 at some point when I update my laptop. But, uh, do either of you know how to clear whatever voodoo makes it work after doing hidd, so I know whether or not GNOME is handling it correctly? Right now, the mouse just works, all the time, through mouse power cycles, laptop power cycles, suspend, resume, anything - this is obviously good for me, but it's tricky for testing purposes :) Just stop the running hidd. If setting the device as trusted doesn't work, then you can try connecting to the mouse using the mouse menu item in the applet. That's the problem - there isn't a running hidd. Hence my description of it as 'voodoo'. I can't actually figure out what the hell bit of running code makes the mouse work, hence I can't stop it..."ps aux | grep hid" just returns nothing. I'll try and find a bit of time to dump an entire running process list out to a text file and go through it with a fine tooth comb at some point, but this isn't at the top of my priority list right now :\ leaving it in needinfo is fine, i'll set it back to that after posting this comment. This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
