It's sounding more like there is something wrong with how the rfkill interface is working for your device then possibly.
Check the output of this command to see further: $rfkill list You probably have one for hci0 . You may also have one for dell- bluetooth on a dell machine, or similar on another manufacturer's machine. See if any of these are soft or hard blocked. Do they change when you turn on/off in gnome-bluetooth? Looking through gnome-bluetooth's bugs, it looks like there might be something going on with the rfkill stuff that's fixed in the next version: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome- bluetooth/+bug/411422 -- [karmic] blueman-assistant crashed with AttributeError in DiscoverDevices() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
