I'm having some issues pairing an Apple Wireless Keyboard with my Asus laptop running 12.04 and Win7. It does not have native Bluetooth, so I'm using a generic Rocketfish USB adapter.

I did get it to the PIN step, but mistyped and ended up cancelling.

Now, in the Setup New Devices, I notice that an entry flickers from time to time in the search box. But no entry ever shows up.

What I've done so far:

  • sudo rfkill list shows that hci0: Bluetooth is not hard or soft blocked
  • sudo hcitool dev prints out hci0 00:02:76:2E:5D:4F
  • I installed the linux-firmware-nonfree package
  • Batteries are not an issue, keyboard works when booted in Win7

During the search process, when I turn on the keyboard, the keyboard light stays lit for ~4 seconds or so and then goes out.

Any other solutions?
