[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#635910: mouse reconnect failed with bluez/unstable too

[Herbert Thielen]

Package: bluez
Version: 4.94-3
Followup-For: Bug #635910

Upgrading bluez to 4.94-3 (from unstable) didn't help; the mouse still cannot
reconnect.

To reproduce the problem I did:

 1. /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop
 2. rm -rf /var/lib/bluetooth/*      # to start with clean files
 3. /etc/init.d/bluetooth start
 4. # push reset button on bluetooth mouse, makes it visible
 5. hcitool scan
 6. BTADDR=00:..... # bluetooth address as seen by hcitool
 7. bluez-simple-agent hci0 $BTADDR  # asks for PIN, 0000 works for me
 8. bluez-test-device trusted $BTADDR yes
 9. bluez-test-input connect $BTADDR

After step 9, the mouse is working until restart of bluetoothd
(e.g. "/etc/init.d/bluetooth restart") or power off/on of the mouse.

After powering off and on the mouse (or reboot etc.), I need to press the
mouse reset button again and execute the command in step 9 above; then the
mouse is working again.


The same mouse is working fine with an Kubuntu 11.04 system on x86_64
(bluez 4.91-0ubuntu1).


Which additional information can I provide to help fixing this problem?


Best regards
  Herbert.
