I'm trying to connect a HPx 4000b bluetooth mouse with Ubuntu 22.04.1
Just looking at the gui settings, the mouse is connected and paired but won't respond when I move it.
I then tried removing it, installing blueman and connecting through that but the same problem persists.
I also looked in the bluetoothctl, listing my devices I can see the mouse but when I try to manually connect from here I get the message
Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed br-connection-create-socket
I found a post that said to install pulseaudio-bluetooth when you get this error which I tried, but I already had it.
I tried restarting everything then entering
bluetoothctl --> devices: finding the address of the mouse, successfully trusting it, pairing it and getting a message that it was connected, only for the problem to persist. Still no action, I've pasted the code below.
sudo bluetoothctl
Agent registered
