[Kernel-packages] [Bug 989817] Re: Cannot change bluetooth device name
This bug is still present in Saucy Salamander (13.10) and affects Trusty Tahr (14.04) after upgrading from a previous release. In addition to that in 14.04 there is no way to override the name specified in /var/lib/bluetooth/$ADDR/config through the GUI tools so I have created https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-control- center/+bug/1308922. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989817 Title: Cannot change bluetooth device name Status in “bluez” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “bluez” source package in Precise: Confirmed Status in “ubiquity” source package in Precise: Confirmed Bug description: First, the bluetooth device name is incorrect by default.
