I found this to be much more stable (worked on login screen while Blueman didn't) and actually surprisingly intuitive to use for being a command line. The method I recommend however is to use the command line. It should be straight forward to use and not require any in depth explanation.

This will install the Blueman Bluetooth interface which you can open for your app launcher. You can install it simply with: sudo apt-get install blueman If you want to have a GUI then Blueman is your best option. There are two ways which I have tried for this. Now that you have bluez 5, you need a way of controlling Bluetooth since, as stated earlier, the built in control panel will not work anymore. Then refresh apt-get: sudo apt-get updateĪfter that you can install bluez 5 with this command: sudo apt-get install bluez Add it with this command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vidplace7/bluez5 I would recommend the bluez 5 PPA made by Austin since that's the one I have used before. Pįirst, you need to add a PPA with bluez 5.

Only do this if you know how to remove a PPA and revert to bluez 4 or if you just don't care and want to get it working. This method that I'm about to describe adds a PPA too, which is supposed to be bad for your system when upgrading and stuff.

First of all, this will break the built in Bluetooth control in the settings panel. Just a heads up, if you want to have a stable system, DON'T DO THIS. Bluez 5, which adds support for Bluetooth Smart, is supposed to start shipping with 15.10, but for now, you'll have to install bluez 5 manually if you want to use it.

Basically what's happening is that the MX Master requires Bluetooth Smart and Ubuntu ships with bluez (the Bluetooth driver) 4 which does not have support for Bluetooth Smart. If you're using another Bluetooth device than hci0, you obviously have to change that part of the commands, otherwise, they should be good to go. Here are some commands which you can use as a quick fix: hciconfig hci0 sspmode 1 Honestly, it was quite a while since I fixed this problem myself, but if I remember correctly, the MX Master (MX Anywhere 2) uses a PIN-less pairing method which isn't quite properly implemented yet in Ubuntu. While 15.10 does indeed have bluez 5, there is still some problem with pairing. In my original answer I said that the problem would most likely be fixed when 15.10 comes around.

So since people still seem to come around here looking for an answer (I don't blame you, it's a good mouse), I decided to do some copy-pasting from my MX Anywhere 2 answer.
