Argh! After many, many months of fighting with the Apple Bluetooth
Keyboard to get it to connect reliably -- and failing -- everything was
finally fixed at the beginning of this year with the discovery that
manually loading the hid_apple module did the trick.
After that, the connection was bulletproof for almost a year, through
reboots, upgrades, and the transition from Karmic to Lucid. I was able
to put my USB keyboard away in the closet, finally.
Now this! I had forgotten how annoyed I was back then!
OK, now that I have the complaining out of the way, I'll try to add a
little value:
I upgraded to Maverick Beta about a week ago, and initially had no
problem with the bluetooth keyboard. The problem appeared yesterday
evening (October 6), following the latest batch of upgrades and a
reboot.
I'm using "blueman" as bluetooth device manager, not the standard gnome-
bluetooth package. That suggests the problem -- if my bug is in fact
the same one -- is at a lower (kernel or bluez) level.
Tonight I will poke around to see if there is anything in dmesg,
provided I can find my ol' wired keyboard in the closet.
