| 671255 | 2008-05-21 10:12:00 | Hi there, I have just been playing with Ubuntu Hardy, and I got it all working, except for one thing. Whenever I boot into Linux I cannot initially use my bluetooth keyboard and mouse. However removing the usb BT dongle and reinserting it makes it work. I know there are a lot of threads on similar problems with BT keyboards on the Ubuntu forums, but nothing seems to work for the Dell version. There is a mention somewhere of a Dell optimised version of HH, but this is not ideal obviously, as it means another download plus redownload of all the packages I have so far. Has anyone had any experience/ success with getting this to work? Cheers, GorCh |

| 671257 | 2008-05-22 05:13:00 | Hmm no luck there. I have seen numerous suggestions on the forums that all start with getting the MAC addresses of the mouse/ keyboard and manually adding them to the boot menu thing. However in terminal, the command "hcitool scan" comes up with the response "Device is not avaliable: No such device." Is there an alternative way to find these? For insatnce will the MAC addresses be the same in Windows (I am dual booting). Cheers |
