[Bug 1001825] [NEW] apple bluetooth keyboard and mouse: conflict between ubuntu and OS X

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

First of all, ubuntu 12.04(tested with mac specific iso and 64 bits) and
grub 2(tested grub efi amd64 of course) do not acknowledge apple
bluetooth keyboard(and mouse for ubuntu); installing blueman at ubuntu
seems to be the only way to get both working on ubuntu, a very difficult
process, which required an usb mouse because there are no working
bluetooth apple devices; the issue is never fixed, only made less worse
as shown below, please check these four threads for more information(the
issue affect plenty of users, and has not been adressed properly since
2011?!):

If ubuntu gets control of mac keyboard and mouse, Os X lose it(and pre
boot keyboard pairing cease to exist, no more pre boot hotkeys
possible); if OS X have control of keyboard and mouse, ubuntu lose it;
switching from one to another requires quite painfull keyboard and mouse
redetection with blueman from ubuntu, or, at osx side, osx take quite
some time to detect them again after an ubuntu login.

The mac ubuntu community is quite insatisfied with this issue, and
demands a fix; if any additional information is needed to help in this
task, let us know.
