[Bug 1094744] Re: MS Sculpt Touch Mouse needs to be re-paired periodically

[Brian Murray]

Hello Jordy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnome-bluetooth into raring-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-
bluetooth/3.6.1-0ubuntu3.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Description changed:

+ [Impact] The patch makes Microsoft Wedge/Sculpt Touch mice stay connected.
+ [Test Case] Get a Microsoft Wedge/Sculpt Touch mouse, pair it, restart session, watch it automatically re-pair.
+ [Regression Potential] Little. The patched piece of XML is only relevant to hardware having the same ID.
+ 
  When you don't use the mouse for a long enough time, the mouse
  disconnects and won't reconnect. I have to go into bluetooth settings,
  remove it, and re-pair it.
  
  1)
  ~ % lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
  Release:	12.04
  
  2)
  ~ % apt-cache policy bluez
  bluez:
    Installed: 4.98-2ubuntu7
    Candidate: 4.98-2ubuntu7

  3)
  I expected the mouse to reconnect automatically, or at least after I try to reconnect manually through the bluetooth settings.
  
  4)
  I have to re-pair the mouse in order to use it again. Turning the mouse off and on doesn't work either.
