Description of problem: Trying to associate with a bluetooth mouse, the Bluetooth Device Wizard detects the mouse and reports success, and the mouse shows up as a known device in the preferences dialog, but /var/log/messages indicates "connection refused", and the mouse remains in discovery mode. The mouse works fine if I set it up by running "hidd --server --search" as root. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-bluetooth-2.27.5-1.fc11.i586 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. From the main menu, run System -> Preferences -> Bluetooth 2. If the mouse is listed as a known device, delete it. 3. Click "Setup new device..." to run the Wizard 4. Put the mouse in discovery mode and allow the Wizard to find it. 5. Select the mouse from the list of new devices; click on "Forward" Actual results: The Wizard reports success, and the preferences dialog list the mouse as a known device, but the mouse remains in discovery mode and is inoperative. The following appears in /var/log/messages: bluetoothd[1639]: Discovery session 0x8f2328 with :1.59 activated bluetoothd[1639]: Stopping discovery bluetoothd[1639]: Connection refused (111) Expected results: The mouse should come out of discovery mode and work. Additional info: Mouse model is Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000. USB bluetooth adapter: Broadcom Corp. A-Llink BlueUsbA2 Bluetooth (0a5c:2101) If I enter the Passkey Options dialog and select "'0000' (most headsets, mice and GPS devices)", I briefly see an "Enter the following passkey..." prompt. That popup quickly disappears, and sequence proceeds as above. When the mouse is (successfully) set up by running "hidd --server --search" as root, the messages are: hidd: New HID device 00:22:48:D9:70:80 (Microsoft Five Button Mouse) kernel: input: Microsoft Five Button Mouse as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.2/usb7/7-1/7-1:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:12/input11 kernel: generic-bluetooth 0005:045E:0700.0003: input,hidraw2: BLUETOOTH HID v1.00 Mouse [Microsoft Five Button Mouse] on 00:02:72:1D:85:9F
Please try again with gnome-bluetooth-2.27.8-2: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gnome-bluetooth-2.27.8-2.fc11
Yes. After installing gnome-bluetooth-2.27.8-2.fc11 and gnome-bluetooth-libs-2.27.8-2.fc11 from koji, connection with the mouse succeeds. A burst of 38 "connection refused" messages appears in the log, but those are followed by a successful connection. Much better. Thanks.
I had the same problem with a Microsoft wireless presenter mouse. Those mice suck, you'd expect to be able to connect to them straight after having paired, but the firmware in those doesn't allow you to. Closing as upstream, was fixed in 2.27.6. http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-bluetooth/commit/?h=fedora-11&id=75170942ddf4aef0065890f3fbd64b60a4032987
