Hello,

I need to start my excusing myself for being utterly ignorant about bluetooth. I have a bluetooth mouse that was working fine two days ago and doesn't show up anymore.

When I start the computer (a Dell laptop) there's a blue light on the mouse that flashes.

My XFCE used to have a couple of Bluetooth icons that are gone.

Here's a line from my messages file from two days ago:

Here's some lines from today:

I've gotten some error messages about "no bluetooth devices found" as well.

Anyone have any ideas? I don't THINK it's the batteries in the mouse....
