Hi there,

I have been testing LMDE for a year now, one annoying problem I still can't find a fix. I paired a BT mouse and it worked on and off, most of the time BT disabled when boot up, and it is almost impossible to manually re-enable it, reboot few times may fix that. I choose this distro because it is Debian based and is 'rolling', so supposed I don't have to reinstall everything and patches will be applied automatically, but I don't see how it is done, am I alone one this ?

I have been using LMDE for a couple of years. About two months ago, I purchased a bluetooth mouse (Logitech) which worked out of the box. Then one day, the the bluetooth applet in the panel disappeared and the mouse quit working. I have posted this on the Linux Mint forum but got nothing except bs about feeding my mouse. All of this occurred on a 32bit os. Since I had been meaning to upgraded to 64 bit, I did a complete new install but the bluetooth problem presists. I am beginning to wonder if the bluetooth adapter is dead. I have mate-bluetooth-applet process running and /etc/init.d/bluetooth is also present.

I should add that the mouse is running flawlessly on my Mac.

I am running the 64bit version, my problem is the mouse randomly won't connect on boot up, and will disconnect during use, some times the Bluetooth disconnected some times not, but even it is connected the mouse still not function, and it is well fed, I seriously doubt something wrong with my new notebook.
