Blueman manager formerly recognized apple magic trackpad as such. A bug in the 3.10 (kernel caused the system to hang because of buffer-overflow in HID core when the Apple magic trackpad was used after recognizing it via bluetooth. the bug is here, along with the fix for it: http://marc.info/?l=linux-bluetooth&m=138901091912674&w=2 Once the problem was fixed somewhere in 3.14, blueman would pair successfully but not provide the name, only identifying it by MAC address. dmesg shows the correct name: [Tue Jan 27 12:10:46 2015] magicmouse 0005:05AC:030E.0007: unknown main item tag 0x0 [Tue Jan 27 12:10:46 2015] input: Apple Wireless Trackpad as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-9/3-9:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:11/0005:05AC:030E.0007/input/input14 [Tue Jan 27 12:10:46 2015] magicmouse 0005:05AC:030E.0007: input,hidraw4: BLUETOOTH HID v1.60 Mouse [Apple Wireless Trackpad] on 00:0a:3a:7c:b4:d8 and It also shows up in cat /proc/bus/input/devices I: Bus=0005 Vendor=05ac Product=030e Version=0160 N: Name="Apple Wireless Trackpad" P: Phys=00:0a:3a:7c:b4:d8 S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-9/1-9:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:11/0005:05AC:030E.0009/input/input16 U: Uniq=60:c5:47:89:91:a9 H: Handlers=event9 mouse2 B: PROP=5 B: EV=10001b B: KEY=e520 10000 0 0 0 0 B: ABS=273800000000003 B: MSC=10 the dev at blueman who worked with me on another problem suggested this particular problem might be in bluez and the kernel rather than blueman: https://github.com/blueman-project/blueman/issues/117#issuecomment-75496826 This makes sense since the problem appeared for the first time when the 3.14 update restored the ability to use the apple magic trackpad. The issue does not effect operation of the trackpad, just the name in the blueman device manager, etc. The only reason I report it is that it used to show up properly before the 3.10 bug and the 3.14 fix noted in the link above. Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially if if I am just missing something. Plz let me know if any more commands need to be run/output provided. Please be thorough if you want me to run something as I am not a dev or a coder but can follow cli instructions and such. Temp workaround is to alias the device: $ python2 ./test-device alias 60:C5:47:89:91:A9 'Apple Touchpad' Thanks, Rich -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
