Intermittent mouse connection drop Ubuntu 18.04 on Dell XPS 9370












0















I've been using a Logitech M720 on my Dell XPS 9370. It has Ubuntu 18.04.1LTS installed.



Before a certain date, the mouse worked fine over Bluetooth. After a recent update (I can't remember which one). Now, the mouse works fine one moment, but is completely unresponsive a moment later. These periods of working/non-working are about equally long, say 10 seconds. I haven't tried any other Bluetooth device with the pc yet, but in Windows (it's dual boot) the mouse works fine.



I tried updating/upgrading to all the newest packages on the system using



apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade


The output "dmesg | grep Blue" is the following:



[    6.095068] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.22
[ 6.095079] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized
[ 6.095082] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized
[ 6.095083] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized
[ 6.095086] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized
[ 6.241043] Bluetooth: hci0: using rampatch file: qca/rampatch_usb_00000302.bin


Using;



sudo hcidump -x -i hciX


, I can monitor the events of the mouse while it's working. While the mouse is not responding no messages are coming in. These logs are pretty long, so not sure if I should post it too.



Any help is much appreciated!
