It shouldn't be too difficult. I started to follow this procedure but I'm too tired now to reach the end. Uh, maybe the first dbus command can be easily replaced by a hcitool dev... give it a try and good luck!

This is just a comment I am not entirely sure how to solve it. But i know how annoying it is! | |

| Jul 5, 2012 at 10:15 | comment | added | zenbike | There is, as i understand it, a way to pair using the command line, but I don't know how. The directions I've been able to find indicate connecting from the device side, which isn't functional on a keyboard. It has to be possible, or a bluetooth keyboard wouldn't be at all useful, since you'd still need a separate keyboard for use outside the GUI. | |
| Jul 5, 2012 at 10:06 | comment | added | Jivings | Did you get it working with the command line? If so then it should be simple. If you have to connect using a GUI then I don't know how you can do it pre-login. | |
