Argh! After many, many months of fighting with the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard to get it to connect reliably -- and failing -- everything was finally fixed at the beginning of this year with the discovery that manually loading the hid_apple module did the trick.
After that, the connection was bulletproof for almost a year, through reboots, upgrades, and the transition from Karmic to Lucid. I was able to put my USB keyboard away in the closet, finally. Now this! I had forgotten how annoyed I was back then! OK, now that I have the complaining out of the way, I'll try to add a little value: I upgraded to Maverick Beta about a week ago, and initially had no problem with the bluetooth keyboard. The problem appeared yesterday evening (October 6), following the latest batch of upgrades and a reboot. I'm using "blueman" as bluetooth device manager, not the standard gnome- bluetooth package. That suggests the problem -- if my bug is in fact the same one -- is at a lower (kernel or bluez) level. Tonight I will poke around to see if there is anything in dmesg, provided I can find my ol' wired keyboard in the closet. -- Bluetooth: pairing Apple Wireless keyboard constantly disconnects and reconnects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/630001 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
