Did you switch teh keyboard on ?

Seriously, I would first check if the bluetooth on the usb side works.
Does hictool dev find your usb receiver ?

I have a cheap bluetooth usb key, and it starts up very unreliably. I guess it has something to do with timing in the initialization. (like e.g. the key still chewing on its hardware initialization when the rest of the bluetooth scripts are already running. I am occasionally experimenting with it.

I have not yet found out the most lowlevel command that will bring it, but in general, manually running /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart does the trick.

If 'hcitool dev' show an interface try 'hcitool hci0 up' (replace hci0 with the actual device name).

What if you manually do

Code: Select all

udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=bluetooth --action=add

to try and redetect the bluetooth module ?

What does lsmod say ? Do you have the following modules ?

bluetooth
lsusb (if it is a usb bluetooth dongle)
rfcomm
bnep

Was this ever fixed?

I've a similar problem in that my Bluetooth keyboard is only detected if I run

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/bluetooth restart

(or start if I remove it from the boot run levels).

running

Code: Select all

udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=bluetooth --action=add

manually does not work.

Really winding me up!

Cheers
