Tina, I added your list of steps to the description, as steps to reproduce the bug. I also added expected results based on my machine that works properly. Could you run the following command in a terminal please? It will attach information to the bug that will help get it resolved:
apport-collect 483138 Bear in mind that you may need to install the python-launchpadlib package from the universe repository with 'sudo apt-get install python- launchpadlib'. Additionally, when prompted to give apport-collect permissions for Launchpad you will need to give it at least the ability to "Change Non-Private" data as it will be adding information to your bug report. ** Description changed: I did a clean 9.10 install. I have gnome-bluetooth 2.28.1-0ubuntu2 and my system is exhibiting the following behaviour When I mouse over the icon (which is greyed out) it shows bluetooth disabled. When I right click the icon, I only have the choice to turn bluetooth off. When I open preferences I have the option to start bluetooth. Nothing I try turns it on. I reported a bug at gnome but was told "Ubuntu is shipping old versions of gnome-bluetooth, with non-upstream patches. Take it up with them." - How do I fix this please? + Steps to reproduce: + 1. I did a clean install of Ubuntu 9.10. + 2. Immediately I had an issue with bluetooth. + 3. The BT icon is greyed out + 4. When I mouse over the BT icon a pop up box indicates "Bluetooth disabled". + 5. When I right click the icon + Bluetooth: on - is greyed out + Turn Bluetooth off - is black + Preferences - is black + 6. Opening preferences + Top left states Bluetooth is disabled + There is a button "Turn bluetooth on" + 7. When "turn bluetooth on" button is clicked, the button greys out but does not perform the function. + 8. The preferences box remains with the greyed out button until the x box is clicked. The whole box closes. /Bluetooth does not turn on. + 9. Intermittently, the BT icon is black when the computer restarts, unfortunately pairing does not occur. + 10. My system can find my phone, another computer in my house etc but my phone & the other computer cannot find my ubuntu system. Even though the system BT is set up to transmit all the time. + + Expected behaviour: + Step 5: when clicking the Bluetooth icon: + - Bluetooth: Off - is greyed out + - Turn On Bluetooth - is black and clickable + - Preferences - is black and clickable + Step 7: when clicking the "Turn Bluetooth On" button, Bluetooth should start and the button be replaced by the Bluetooth Preferences panel + Step 10: the Ubuntu system should be able to find and pair with other Bluetooth enabled devices -- bluetooth doesn't work in Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483138 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
