[Bug 202820] [NEW] Bluetooth in Hardy not working with Logitech diNovo keyboard

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have no way of connecting my diNovo keyboard via bluetooth on a
completely up-to-date Hardy with the 3.26-0ubuntu3 bluetooth metapackage
and the 0.23-0ubuntu3 bluez-gnome package. Going to the Services tab of
Bluetooth Preferences (bluetooth-properties), marking Input service and
clicking on Add doesn't work. The keyboard does show up in the list
(though it's incorrectly labelled a Logitech MX900 Mouse - it came in a
package with an MX900 mouse). When I try to connect to it and eneter a
PIN code for pairing, however, the Bluetooth GUI simply crashes after 5
or 10 seconds of "connecting..." Clearing out the list of bonded devices
beforehand is no help. I still cannot get it to connect.

This is the error I get running bluetooth-properties from the terminal:

process 8385: arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_path (path)" failed in file dbus-message.c line 1074.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.

** ERROR **: Out of memory
aborting...
Aborted (core dumped)

My bluetooth mouse, on the other hand, works splendidly. What's more,
this used to be the case with the keyboard as well, back in Edgy or
Feisty, once I'd edited a few conf files and paired the devices manually
with hidd --search. So it shold work. But it doesn't. Any ideas as to
what could be done?
