Title says it all. I have a Dell WM524 bluetooth mouse and I cannot connect it to my computer, a Dell XPS 13 2015 edition.
I am currently running GNOME with gnome-bluetooth, bluez, blueman, and blueman-utils installed and up to date. I have checked that Bluetooth is enabled.
I have also followed the instructions for installing the bluetooth firmware for the Broadcom chip on the following page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … #Bluetooth
and this has not resolved the connection problem.
I have attempted connecting the Bluetooth mouse using the blueman-manager GUI while scanning with no success.
Here is the output of my attempting to connect the mouse with bluetoothctl. I made sure that my mouse was visible before starting the scan:
# bluetoothctl
[NEW] Controller C4:8E:8F:FA:2D:68 X-ME56-Nesasio [default]
[bluetooth]# select C4:8E:8F:FA:2D:68
[bluetooth]# power on
Changing power on succeeded
[bluetooth]# scan on
Discovery started
[CHG] Controller C4:8E:8F:FA:2D:68 Discovering: yes
[bluetooth]# agent on
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# devices
[bluetooth]# exit
Agent unregistered
[DEL] Controller C4:8E:8F:FA:2D:68 X-ME56-Nesasio [default]
# According to the wiki, my mouse should be appearing after the devices command within bluetoothctl. Instead, no device is displayed.
I can successfully see my Galaxy S5 from my bluetooth manager on my laptop. Curiously enough, I can pair and use my mouse with my Galaxy S5, so the mouse is not defective.
What gives? Why can't I connect the Bluetooth mouse to my computer, and how do I resolve this?

UPDATE: Issue still not resolved, but I have made progress. I tried enabling PSCAN and ISCAN on my bluetooth controller using:
# hciconfig hci0 piscan The mouse now shows up with bluetoothctl, but I cannot connect it for some unknown reason. Here my most recent attempt with bluetoothct
(and I have verified that Device 00:1F:20:F7:41:8E is, in fact, the mouse):
