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

[Leif Huhn]

Things will go much more smoothly if you use the same link keys in both
OS X and Linux.  Then the device won't need to be repaired everytime you
switch between them.

You can do this by:

1. Pairing in Linux
2. Pairing in OS X
3. Copying the link keys from OS X to Linux

Attached is a script that will perform step 3.  It assumes you are in
Linux and have your OS X partition mounted at /media/osx (readonly is
fine).  It will overwrite all your Linux link keys (so anything not
paired in OS X will stop working).

Also, Linux apparently needs to know how many digits the PIN was when
pairing.  I have hardcoded the script to assume 6 but to make an
exception for a given hardware address.  You might want to edit the
script with the hardware address of your mouse.

It requires the package libplist-utils (sudo apt-get install libplist-
utils).
