Package: bluez-utils
Version: 2.25-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
according to the manpage, hid2hci is used to switch HID proxy bluetooth dongle
into the HCI mode and back. The bluetooth initscript tries to make use of it
on stop/shutdown.
However, it doesn't seem to work for me: my symptom is that I have no way of
typing on my system, when I reboot after booting first in Debian. The BIOS or
the GRUB menu are inaccessible if I last booted in Debian.
When I try to execute hid2hci --tohid manually, I get the following error
message:
# hid2hci --tohid
No devices in HID mode found
# lsusb
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 046d:c707 Logitech, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 046d:c704 Logitech, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0451:2036 Texas Instruments, Inc. TUSB2036 Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
So bottom line is: switching from HID to HCI works, switching back doesn't
(and never has I might add). For the record: my keyboard is a Logitech DiNovo
Media Desktop with an MX900 BT mouse.
Thanks,
