Question Bluetooth doesn't work properly.


Hello. I have Debian on my machine. And if I use standard Gnome 3 tool to switch on bluetooth, it immediately swithces back. Also it's turned off by default, when I run my system. And:
Code:
# /etc/init.d/bluetooth status
[ ok ] bluetooth is running.
# hcitool scan
Device is not available: No such device
I'm trying to connect to bluetooth mouse. It normally works in windows.
Thanks much!

What's your bluetooth device, connecting to USB or something else?

No, this mouse is USBless. It doesn't need usb port to connect. But I doubt that the problem is with the mouse. Bluetooth on my system doesn't work properly.

No output means that no local bluetooth device isn't found.
You need make sure your computer has built-in bluetooth compatibility. If it has, troubleshooting section of following link can help you. If it has not bluetooth receiver, you should buy one.
