[Bug 318465] Re: Logitech MX5000 doesn't connect via bluetooth under ubuntu

[mjrickard at gmail.com]

It did.  I used Ubuntu for two years and rather liked it.  But the hardware
problems eventually just became too cumbersome to deal with.  I'm pretty
happy now with Mac OSX.

EVERY upgrade of Ubuntu for two years broke my logitech wireless keyboard -
including the latest.  For most of them, I could get it up and running by:

1. Removing and reinserting the dongle.
2. Press the dongle red button.
3. Set keyboard to pair.

This had to be done after every reboot.

In the latest version, even this doesn't work.  So I basically have a
keyboardless computer sitting there across the room doing nothing.

I've moved on.  As far as I'm concerned, Linux is an unfinished OS enjoyed
by teen hackers with no dollars and obviously no sense.  Endless whining
about hardware manufacturers.  Meanwhile, sound cards from Creative Labs,
and Keyboards from Logitech, are hardly obscure devices overlooked by
accident. This bug has been around for years.  No resolution.  That's
because there is nobody at home to resolve it.  Part of the Linux culture is
that it will heal itself when somebody else gets around to fixing it.  For
me, a PC is a tool, and a Linux PC is a broken tool.  All arguments to the
contrary are religous dogma devolving to zealotry.

When I complained about this on the Ubuntu forums, I was banned.  But they
do send me a birthday e-mail every year anyway.  Kids, automating nonsense,
without clue.
