My bluetooth mouse is connected now, but I had to follow a special process...
WHAT WORKS: I had to turn OFF my wireless, make sure bluetooth was ON, and then connect/pair the mouse. After the bluetooth mouse connected successfully, I was able to turn wi-fi ON again. Now, my mouse automatically connects a few seconds after logging in. It has not disconnected for the brief time I have used it, but I will post back if I notice any new issues. WHAT DOESN'T WORK: * I found that the previous work-around in comment #17 no longer works. * I found that newer kernels did not work either. NOTES ON KERNELS: I tested mainline kernels 4.14.9 thru 4.14.15. All of these newer kernels produce the following error message during installation: "Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel". (Note: this is most likely because I have the Nvidia proprietary drivers version 384.111 installed). However, kernel 4.14.8 installs just fine. But this did not fix the bluetooth problem, until performed the above procedure. OTHER THINGS I TRIED: I did execute "sudo bluetoothctl", and I tried to "trust" and "pair" my mouse from the command line, prior to performing the "wi-fi-off/wi-fi- on" process. However, I do not think "bluetoothctl" helped. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1729389 Title: [Intel 8260/8265] Bluetooth peripherals work for a few seconds, then don't react To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1729389/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
