Logitech DiNovo Bluetooth Mouse KB Combo w/Ubuntu 9.04

[sirmille]

After Ubuntu gets to the desktop I always have to unhook the receiver from the doggle to get it to work, I had this fixed in 8.10 but the same fix doesn't seem to work in 9. Can anyone help, I've Googled and found links for fixes but to noobish to know what they're saying, appreciate any help, thanx!

maybe try this:

sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
password

then add this before the exit 0

sudo hciconfig hci0 up
sudo hciconfig hci0 reset
sudo hidd --connect <MAC_addr_mouse>

didn't work, hopefully whomever will fix this by final release.

just to verify, you did change the MAC_addr_mouse to your mac address right?

I opened up Terminal entered this command

sudo gedit /etc/rc.local

entered my password

it opened another screen with a bunch of crap and this line exit 0 at the bottom.

I added this

sudo hciconfig hci0 up
sudo hciconfig hci0 reset
sudo hidd --connect <MAC_addr_mouse>

before

exit 0

Is that what you told me or did I "F" it up

well MAC_addr_mouse refers to your mac address of your mouse. Every bluetooth device has a mac address similar to a phone number, with the code as is it wouldn't work. To get your mac address put your mouse in the open mode (usually a button on the mouse) and then run this command in terminal:

sudo hidd --search

if that doesn't work try

hcitool scan

OK I give that try thanx, let you know what happens

[sirmille]

sudo hidd --search

Result
sudo: hidd: command not found


hcitool scan

Result
Device is not available: No such device

The fix for me was to uninstall "bluez-utils" using Synaptic Packet Manager remove the "bluez-utils" package, your Logitech DiNovo Bluetooth Mouse KB Combo should work normally. Not to sure if this will effect other bluetooth devices (headsets, etc.) but it works for me, now mouse and KB come on at startup without me having to unplug and plugin the receiver.

Same fix worked for a Logitech wireless Trackman Wheel that was not operable in Ubuntu 9.04. Thanks Sirmille!
