Re: [Tails-testers] Bluetooth boot

Hi,

[I'm leaving this thread on tails-testers@ even though it's a little
bit off-topic, because we don't have a public support mailing list
where I could discuss this with Zalan anymore.]

Thanks for your feedback!

I'm very surprised Bluetooth keyboard & mouse worked previously: we're
not shipping the software I thought was needed to make them work.
I must be missing something and this makes me curious. Could you
please send a report with WhisperBack from an older version of Tails,
where your Bluetooth keyboard & mouse did work? Please mention in your
report that it should be forwarded to me.

Now, we have no short-term plans to re-enable Bluetooth, so in order
to address your use case let's focus on what follows:

Wow, that's strange. How are these keyboard and mouse connected? USB?
Could you please try:

- another USB port (ideally, a USB 2.0 one)
- plugging the keyboard and mouse before starting the computer
- plugging the keyboard and mouse only once Tails Greeter appears on
the screen

?

Cheers,
