Bug Description

I just installed Jaunty on my desktop machine. I'm seeing a regression since 8.10.

When I start it up, I cannot use my bluetooth logitech dinovo edge keyboard to log into the machine. So, I use a regular keyboard. When I'm logged in, the dinovo edge still doesn't work, neither keyboard or mousepad. I look in the System->Preferences->Bluetooth application, and the keyboard is listed there. The "plug" icon is flashing on and off, kind of irregularly.

If I remove the keyboard from the Bluetooth application, then re-add it by putting the keyboard into "associate with a new adapter" mode, then typing the PIN into the keyboard, then after that it works perfectly.

Then, next time I start up the machine, the keyboard doesn't work any more, and I need to repeat the whole thing.

All of this was fine in 8.10. After a small pause, I could log in using the dinovo edge, and it worked fine while logged in.

It's worse than this... If I turn the keyboard off (its built-in power switch) then immediately back on, I can't use it until I delete it as a bound device and re-register it, in the bluetooth preferences application.

I have the same problem, so I confirmed this bug. My Dinovo used to work after restarts and suspends, now it doesn't.
