I'm following Jim's lead in making my pi mobile.  I have wifi working 
and I have a battery pack.  The keyboard remains.  I have an old Igo 
Think Outside foldable keyboard.  I have managed to have the pi scan for 
bluetooth devices.  It saw a bluetooth speaker and the keyboard.  
(Getting the bluetooth speaker working would be nice, too.)  Here's the 
thing: I can't get anything to pair.  I think I use bluetoothctl for 
this, but it doesn't work.  bluetoothctl also complains that I don't 
have a default controller. Google and I have been pals for hours and 
hours, but this is far as I can get.  I need the keyboard to pair 
reliably at boot when it is on otherwise I will have to carry the big 
bad keyboard around which defeats having a very portable bluetooth 
alternative.
