after upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 BT Mouse stopped working

[ukir]

Blue Devil is running but says: no adapter found. When I do a "hcitool scan" then it finds
00:07:61:EB:42:CF Bluetooth Laser Travel Mouse
When I try to manually connect with "hidd" then it tells me "sudo: hidd: command not found"
(bluez-utils package installed)
In 10.10 BT-Mouse worked without problems

Any hints ?

Perhaps kbluetooth is interfering. The bug report and fix is here.

If that doesn't help you may want to consider these sites:

Simple thing to check first. Are the batteries in the mouse 'good'? Replace with fresh ones and see if it remedies your problem.

"Hidden in plain sight."

Of course, unless the OP tests the battery possibility, it remains just that - a possibility.

@Snowhog:
if it was the Battery, I would not get a reply from "hcitool scan". But as this tool gives me a meaningful reply (it finds the BT Mouse), this means there is the adapter and the battery of the mouse is working. Besides this my mouse shows blinking orange light when the battery is low.

@GrayGeek: thanx for the links, but I dont have a crash with bluedevil, its running and shows something like "no adapter found". The most useful link was the ubuntuforum link. But here I see only what I was trying already, to use the "hidd" command. But this command does not exist and I dont know in which package this should be...

@Teunis: did you try to find your BT device with "hcitool scan" ?

This http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=597003 seems to be the key to the problem

Here I found a workaround, but still not a solution to the problem:

a "sudo hciconfig hci0 reset" in the terminal brings my mouse back to work. But I have to issue this command after every reboot...

at least I can live with that for now...

Make a script file and add it on /etc/rcX paths
