Bluetooth Mouse Pairs But Doesn't Work

Question

Just did a clean install of 16.04 and my Logitech MX Master won't work. I even tried to use blueman to no avail.

Anyone get it working? I used blueman to get it working on 15.

Thanks in advance!

Solution

I got it working by using the hciconfig answer here: https://askubuntu.com/a/660918/534356

Ironically I tried this before and it didn't work... but after re-installing Ubuntu 16 this did solve my problem!

Thanks @Tobi

Does the mouse connect? Are you running a power indicator (bug 1098959)? Does your linkkey appear in /var/lib/bluetooth/<host bt addr>/<mouse bt addr>/info?

@ubfan1 It 'pairs', and the mouse thinks it's connected, but it doesn't do anything. Don't think I have a power indicator, and no linkkey... see contents above in my edit.

A attempted the bogus key, after re-pairing it removed the whole LinkKey section from the file. I'll see if I can pair it with another computer and get the linkkey
