What is bluetoothd? Why isn't it running?
Why do I need to run %bluetoothd to get my Bluetooth mouse to be detected?
If I don't do this the bluetooth connection in the taskbar just flashes blue when I move the mouse.
What I don't understand is why my Bluetooth speaker works but my mouse doesn't until I run this command?
Finally, how can I make this fix permanent?
edit: This trick has stopped working now. I can't use my Bluetooth mouse. It's back to flashing blue in the bluetooth taskbar.
