I have a Logitech M-RBB93 Bluetooth Mouse for my Dell Latitude D620. I just installed Ubuntu Feisty last night and was puzzled on how to connect my mouse to the computer. So with a little research on Ubuntu Forums, I found the answer. Its really pretty easy:
Go to your console and type in:
daniel@d620:~$ hcitool scan
Make sure your mouse is in pairing mode. For me, I had to push and hold the Reset button on my mouse for just over a second and a green light started blinking. Thats when I knew it was in paring mode.
So the command will search for any Bluetooth devices in paring mode.
Scanning …
00:XX:61:XX:F9:XX Bluetooth Travel Mouse
So here was hav, the device found with its MAC Address.
Now we need to have the computer pair with the device.
to do that type the following command (of course substituting for your MAC Address)
daniel@d620:~$ sudo hidd –connect 00:XX:61:XX:F9:XX
Now your Bluetooth mouse should work.
Going through that process every time you turn your computer on would be a major pain in the ass, so lets make it so it does it automatically. To do that type in this command:
sudo gedit /etc/default/bluetooth
Look for and replace
HIDD_ENABLED=0
# HIDD_OPTIONS=”-i AA:BB:CC:DD:EE –server”
with:
HIDD_ENABLED=1
HIDD_OPTIONS=”-i 00:XX:61:XX:F9:XX –server”
Save and close and now your mouse should connect automatically each time you use your computer.
