BT and wireless mice, usually just plug the receiver dongle in the USB and you're good to go.
Ah didn't think about using internal BT. Got two laptops in the office here, only one has BT, and that's a MacBook with OS X.

Fedora 22 was officially released yesterday May 26 2015 and while it hasn't been quite 24 hours since I installed it I thought I would share my findings thus far 
I downloaded the KDE spin of fedora as I can't stand gnome 3 and the KDE spin is now KDE 5 its pretty to look at and has lots of stuff I have yet to find lol. They have changed some of the widgets and things and I'm not sure I particularly care for all the changes but time will tell. Fedora itself gave me a very disappointing blow when I started to use yum and they informed me that yum is being depreciated and replaced with what is now dnf. I'm not sure what the difference is as I have not done any research on it however being a long time yum user its a sad moment for me. I also found that some of the packages I would install are not available for 22 like kffmpegthumbnailer. I really don't know why KDE doesn't just offer video thumbnail previews in dolphin Like nautilus use to do back when I was on gnome 2. Its a feature I use a lot. But cant do so now 
Also 22 gives you instant messaging even if you don't want it. I have no use for it on my computer as I have all the messaging apps I need on my phone. I really wish they would bring back expertmode installations so I could pick and choose with out having to go back and remove half the crap it installs that I don't want or use.
On the over all for the last 24 hours though I will say that everything is working well. My displays seem a bit clearer but that could just be my old eyes lol. It picked up all my hardware sound is great internet works fine I haven't had to do any configuration changes to make something work woohoo Now for the hard part getting her set up the way I want her to be

Now what do I do? Make myself a cute looking resume?
WPS Office running on Mint.
WPS for Linux is free, however templates are not and it also has ads.

On a slightly different subject....
I'm trying to add a repo using the following line in a terminal on a Raspberry Pi running raspbian:
sudo echo "deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
and I get the following message:
bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission Denied
I've tried using Synaptic (settings --> repositories) but It doesn't give me the repositories dialog box, it just says the repositories have changed.
(I do get the repositories dialog box when I try in Mint(debian edition).
This is part of setting up Glastopf honeypot on the Pi in preparation for a Security Summer School for 2nd/3rd year students.

Pretty sure that sudo is only applying to the echo command, and not the protected file redirect.
Maybe try -
sudo 'echo "etc etc" >> file'
That's probably still wrong but I'm low on coffee and that's just off the top of my head.
Frankly I don't care what the world says, I would just su, do it directly, and exit the su.
But that's just me - and also why I'm not sure about that sudo off the top of my head lol.

Here you go -
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ut-to-a-location-i-dont-have-permission-to-wr
And probably also -
sudo ( echo "etc etc" >> file )
Is probably better than what I said.
Anyway - stack exchange is correct although I'd be interested if the parens worked.
That should create a privileged subshell.

Congratulations! And all the best, especially to mom and baby girl who did the most work lol.So.......let's change gears for a second.
My wife and I just had our first child. C-section, girl, everything's fine, etc.
Which leaves me with the next important issue:
I need suggestions for baby's first Linux.
Now, with 7 grandkids, I understand *perfectly* how easily we get confused as new fathers, so I'm glad you asked in time.
Obviously, you don't want your little girl to just be some Janie come lately into *nix and indeed, the right environment for a c section arrival is of course - csh.
Therefore you're probably already ahead of me and know that she really needs this first -

Cheers, congratulations again and all the best!
Hi All, This question has probably been asked a million times but I searched for it and didn't find anything.
I have a Nexus 5. What is the easiest way to connect it to Ubuntu? I want to transfer files back and forth. Using wifi probably easiest. Assume I'm using the latest Ubuntu distro.
I'm not a geek and I know almost nothing about the command line. Please keep that in mind when answering. Thanks,

My HTC is recognized in Ubuntu by just plugging it in so I think that's the easiest.
But for wifi maybe try -

Wow. Would be great if it was as simple as just plugging it in. When my Ubuntu is installed I'll try it first thing. Thanks!
OK, good. When I was googling this earlier I didn't come across anything that said you could just plug in an Android phone to a Linux distro and it will connect automatically. Strange. Thanks for the good news. Cheers,
Androids connect via MTP, a Microsoft protocol first supported by Mint as far as I recall. (MTP was probably the term you missed in your searches.)
With older distributions you had to add it -
http://askubuntu.com/questions/504408/mtp-android-mount
Now it's just built in, a new distribution ought have no trouble with your phone.
OK, that makes sense. It seemed strange to me that people would have to jump thru a bunch of hoops to connect Android to Linux. I saw MTP but none of my searches revealed a page that said "Just plug it in and it works."
Thanks,OK, I just plugged my Nexus 5 into a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 and it was automatically recognized and all my files appeared in the file browser. Cool!
