Since upgrading to 13.10 from 13.04 my mouse no longer connects via bluetooth. In settings it states that the mouse is not paired. Restarting bluetooth with sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart does not help. Restarting the computer does fix the problem if bluetooth is restarted also with the previously mentioned command, but this is not ideal.


The mouse worked fine prior to updating to 13.10.


The computer is a ThinkPad X230 with a Broadcom 'BCM20702A0' bluetooth module (I think).

I am a relative novice with linux so don't ask me compile anything please, but I can use google.


Update 1: I noticed when I checked the bluetooth settings page that the mouse is reported as being not paired even while it is operating correctly.


I have tested with a bluetooth headset now also and it gives similar issues (no sound after resume from sleep), but in this case it is being reported as paired.

I'm not sure why, but I tried to use my mouse after waking the laptop recently and this problem is no longer happening for me.
