Bug Description

I have a bluetooth mouse that I can get to connect via the gnome bluetooth settings panel, but even after it's connected it doesn't move the pointer or register any clicks.

the following shows up in the journal :

GATT is part of bluez experimental feature: bluetoothd -E.

After I enabled it by setting the NOPLUGIN_OPTION="-E" into the /etc/default/bluetooth file. I just had to pair and trust the mouse manually using the "bluetoothctl" console and it worked fine.

I took a different approach to getting my mouse working: I installed blueman and used that to configure it. I guess it enables experimental features itself.

And then the secret sauce: https://vilimpoc.org/blog/2016/04/30/ubuntu-16-04-bluetooth-speakers/

Joe,

Please try:
* the workaround in comment #3; and
* booting a newer version of Ubuntu (17.04 or later)

and let us know if any of that works for you.

Thanks. Sounds like it should be fixed by:
http://www.bluez.org/release-of-bluez-5-42/

which means the fix entered Ubuntu in 17.04.
