[Bug 343727] Re: [Jaunty] Cannot connect to a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000

[John K]

I too took the plunge and upgraded (not clean install) Karmic Notebook
Remix on my Asus eee 1000. Brief history, I had Microsoft Mouse 5000
pairing problems too. The work around turned out to be a permanent fix
in Jaunty.

After the upgrade was complete, and reboot, the mouse would not pair.
After trying the icon, system folder blue tooth utility which looks the
same as in Jaunty, no attempt would pair the mouse even after deleting
the mouse profile, rebooting and attempt a re-pair of the blue tooth
device. I went to synaptic package manager out of frustration and re-
installed all packages that started with "blue" and were related to blue
tooth. Reboot next. Using the utility in the system folder, the mouse
paired and has been connected since, even after several reboots. It is
slow to re-pair after sleep mode, about 10 minutes of inactivity but it
does come back after touching the touch pad. My assumption is that a
file was corrupt or did not upgrade. I did take notice and look for a
package with the mark in it for upgrade in Synaptic package manager but
saw none for blue*.

The second issue was that my second SSD drive was not recognized and I
feared was gone with my /home data on it. I will post the fix for that
in a different bug and fix. Both of these were scary issues.

Good luck.
