Also applies to Apple Wireless Keyboard Testing Model A1016 keyboards are very straightforward to test, I have not had good luck with newer models, but there are far fewer available to try. Lynnae 19:58, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Troubleshooting Tips
Make sure the Indicator Applet is running in the top toolbar (right-click the toolbar, select Add to Panel> Indicator Applet)

hcitool dev

if nothing returns your bluetooth device is disabled

check

rfkill list all

hard/softblock should be no

check BIOS and make sure BT is not disabled there, check the applet in your toolbar, see if you can enable it from there, see if there is a keyboard switch (laptops only)

Restart BT daemon

In general, from the research I've done, the state of Bluetooth development in the Linux world is pretty haphazard at this point. If anyone has good instructions for manually connecting devices via the command line or other CLI troubleshooting ideas, please contribute.
