I have already deleted /var/lib/bluetooth/* , and nothing has changed.

Summarizing, I have three different bluetooth adaptors:

1) Dell laptop (Dell wireless 355 bluetooth).
Worked out of the box with F10, booting from a pendrive.

2) A desktop with a generic USB adaptor, which I could not even know the
vendor, but it works. However, I have to connect using hidd.

3) Another desktop with a different bluetooth USB adaptor. This one never
connected in F10. But it connects just fine using F8.

This way never worked for me.

The only way I can connect is using "sudo hidd --search".

After doing that, I can even reboot and the mouse stays connected.

In both desktops, I am using bluez 4.28.

It seems to me that some adaptors do not work in F10, maybe because of
some kernel change.
