From: John Jason Jordan on 20 Nov 2009 17:20 Squeeze amd64 on Thinkpad T61, fresh installation five hours ago. Idiot user migrating from Jaunty x86_64. I have long used a bluetooth Razer Pro|Click Mobile mouse, which works fine on Jaunty. I cannot get it to work in Debian testing. If I click on the bluetooth icon in the Gnome panel, then Setup new device ... nothing happens. If I click on the bluetooth icon in the Gnome panel, then Preferences, I get a dialog box. However, no devices are shown. The dialog box has a button for Setup new device ..., but nothing happens when I click on it. >From the command line: Devil8:/home/jjj# hcitool scan Scanning ... 00:0F:F6:6C:6C:DB Pro|Click Mobile Devil8:/home/jjj# hcitool cc 00:0F:F6:6C:6C:DB Devil8:/home/jjj# As seen above, the connect command appears to work without error, but the mouse still does not work. Putting the mouse into pairing mode (hold the Connect button down until the light flashes rapidly) while doing any of the above makes no difference. Since hcitool found the mouse it is clear that the installation of Squeeze correctly found and configured the bluetooth module in the laptop. Since the mouse works fine in Jaunty, there must be nothing wrong with the mouse. If there is nothing wrong with the hardware, the problem must lie in the software, but I am out of ideas.

Does the user belong to the "bluetooth group" (if such exists)? Ubuntu does a lot behind the scenes with su/do, maybe it's permissions somewhere.

There is a bluetooth group, but I was already a member of it. Root was not, but I added root as well. Still no joy. :( -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmaster(a)lists.debian.org |
