I have a Mac Mini with an Apple Magic Mouse bluetooth mouse. In order to set up a bluetooth mouse, though, it looks like you have to use a mouse. Doesn't that completely defeat the purpose? Is there a way I can set up my bluetooth mouse using the commandline?

I'm not really sure if you can do it in a terminal, but with my iMac I used tabbing instead.

Tabbing is just that, pressing Tab all the time until you highlight the button that you want to "click", of course, using Space.

I would recommend you to get an USB Mouse, anyway here you have some steps:

Boot ubuntu. Open the Dash pressing ⌘ (Command). Now type Bluetooth and press Return.

Wait until the settings panel appears. Now press Tab until the + icon looks highlighted. Press Space.

Find your Magic Mouse, and select it tabbing. Do tabbing again to the Next button.

Now wait until the mouse is correctly linked.

Happy ubunting on your Mac Mini! :)
