hi all,
as all my usb sockets do not recognize my mice and keyboards anymore,
i’d like to use BT kbd + BT mouse to reget control of the board.
search function on google do find old forum links that just fail in this new forum, so I’ll ask in this dedicated for advice for now.
where to start ?
the only way to make the board do something is remotely and thru ssh prompt.
tks
edit, as i even cannot run bluetoothctl to list the hci adapters (inc. the embedded one),
I started w/
sudo pacman -S bluez
sudo pacman -S bluez-utils

bingo!
my good old keysonic BTKB-B83C kbd+trackpad is now functional !
hope it will reconnect quickly at (re)boot time as well
EDIT
now typing this sentence from my BT kbd+trackpad,
after reboot and autologin, i apparently needed to make a few keystrokes to make the bt connection effective.
hi,
tried your suggestion,
but it did not help at all,
it is in fact the bt kbd that goes too quickly into sleep when it cannot see the board’s bt adapter for a while, and the quickest way to tell it to seach an reconnect is to do a few keystrokes to wake it up.
tks anyway.
