I wanted to connect a Bluetooth mouse to my laptop Clevo Linux Mint 11 and it does not work!

The Bluetooth icon in the taskbar indicates that the service is inactive.

The solution is a command line that you can run in Terminal window:

- Open a Terminal assignment

- Encode sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart

In my case it worked.

If you want to create a script:

- Create a file xxx.sh in your home directory
- Insert the following commands:
#!/bin/sh
sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
exit 0
- Save
- In a Terminal window, encode
chmod u + x xxx.sh

- Create a shortcut on the desktop and use it to restart the service
