Subject: [Bluez-users] "Can't get device information: Too many links"
Date: Sun, 23 Mar 2008 14:09:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47E65680.1010102@guruburu.com> (raw)
Hi,
I have a problem connecting both an Apple wireless keyboard and mouse to
an USB Bluetooth adapter on Ubuntu Gutsy (AMD64). I can connect either
the mouse or keyboard, but not both. The error message I get is "Can't
get device information: Too many links".
Unfortunately I didn't find any explanation on Bluez error messages.
What's going on?

I used instructions from a guy with the same setup, except for the USB
adapter which is a D-Link DBT-120:

Any help appreciated.
