I'd like my HP Bluetooth Mouse x4000b (no usb dongle) to connect automatically when starting my HP laptop (Ubuntu 14.04), but I can't succeed in it : I'm forced to do it manually by clicking the "connect" button. I know this topic has been answered many times, but no solution worked for me.

Here's what I tried so far :

  • Creating the file /etc/default/bluetooth with lines :

    HIDD_ENABLED=1 HIDD_OPTIONS="--connect F0:65:DD:7D:EC:A0 --server"

  • Putting hciconfig hci0 reset at the end of /etc/init.d/bluetooth
  • Putting

    /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop sleep 1 /etc/init.d/bluetooth start

    in /etc/rc.local

None of these solution worked, I've read a lot of topics but couldn't find a solution ... that's why I'm asking that here, hoping you can help me troubleshooting that.

Thank you !

Ray
