Hi folks!

I am forwarding a confirmed bug from ubuntu gutsy tribe 5 featuring kdebluetooth version 1.0~beta6~r709825-0ubuntu1  [1]
Here is the bug report :


On my laptop I use my Logitech Bluetooth mouse. I have added my mouse using the Input Devices configuration option in the menu and the mouse works. After a period of inactivity, my mouse "times out" and then next time I move it, I get a message stating:

"Bluetooth Authorization Request

Bluetooth Travel Mouse (device address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) wants to act as Input Device.

If you aren't sure about the identity of the other party, then reject this authorization request"

The options i have to choose from are "Always Accept", "Reject" and "Accept".

It appears that "Always Accept" does nothing more than "Accept" because the next time my mouse times out and I move it again, I get the same pop-up dialog asking me the same thing.

To Reproduce: Connect your mouse using the Input Device configuration, move your mouse to determine its connected. Turn off the mouse and turn it back on, click "Always Accept", move mouse. Turn mouse off and back on again and you get the same message.


======

Setting "security" to "user" or "auto" in hcif.conf doesn't help, according to a comment.

Good luck!

According to the mentioned report this issue is fixed.

Bluetooth support has been replaced by "BlueDevil" and the old code is no
longer maintained. If you still have an issue with Bluetooth support in a
recent KDE version, such as KDE 4.9.5 or 4.10, please report a new bug.

Also, if this is a feature request that has not yet been implemented in
BlueDevil, please add a comment.
