Remmina, bluetooth and cabled network

I have worked a little more with remmina, but no luck with the NX plugin so far.
It keeps failing in the ssh connection, and I have tried both password login, and certificate based login.
Tried over vpn as well as on the LAN.
I think I will let it rest for a while, since I have better things to do right now.

Bought a Rapoo 6610 bluetooth mouse at Kjell & Company.
The ideapad only has two USB ports, so I didn’t want to occupy one of then with a mouse.
No problem in pairing and getting it to work.
But ……….
It wouldn’t reconnect automatically, whenever the connection was broken — shutdown, sleep turning of the mouse.
I had to go into the bluetooth control panel, select the mouse and click the on/off button.
After a couple of attempts it would reconnect and I would be happy – for a while.
Searching the net I found that people installed the blueman bluetooth manager instead of the build in.
So I did the same, but didn’t manage to remove the deafult bluetooth manager, so I ended up with two bluetooth icons in the system tray.
One showed everything OK, the blueman however didn’t notice that the mouse was connected.
Found that somebody mentioned the command line tool in this thread: https://askubuntu.com/questions/486347/bluetooth-mouse-not-auto-reconnecting-to-laptop
So I tried it. It told me that the mouse was allready paired,and even if I disconnected the mouse I couldn’t do anything.
You can understand my surprise, when I found that the mouse recoonets now, if you move it a little but around after the computer wakes from its sleep.
I uninstalled the blueman, and my mouse still reconnects when needed!

Sometimes you are not supposed to understand, but just accept.

When I was in the shop I bought a USB to ethernet converter. Cursed linux, kjell & company and myself, when the computer did not react, when I connected the USB port.
An hour later I found that linux silently accepted the converter, and it worked flawlessly, so only issue was me not trusting Linux.
