The same problem here. The USB dongle I use was built into the computer (an HP Compaq tc4200)
The friendly name that shows in gnome > System > Preferences > Bluetooth > Friendly name actually is "HP integrated Bluetooth module". This does not match my /etc/bluetooth/main.conf $ grep -B3 "Name =" /etc/bluetooth/main.conf # Default adaper name # %h - substituted for hostname # %d - substituted for adapter id Name = %h-%d Instead it matches the hardware product name $ lsusb -v |grep -B8 "HP integrated Bluetooth module" bDeviceClass 224 Wireless bDeviceSubClass 1 Radio Frequency bDeviceProtocol 1 Bluetooth bMaxPacketSize0 64 idVendor 0x03f0 Hewlett-Packard idProduct 0x011d Integrated Bluetooth Module bcdDevice 0.17 iManufacturer 1 Broadcom iProduct 2 HP integrated Bluetooth module - If I update the Friendly name via gnome applet or gnome bluetooth system preferences it does change only until next reboot. - If I update the Friendly name via hciconfig, as per: $ sudo hciconfig hci0 name MyNewName again it does change but only until next reboot. - Modyfying /etc/bluetooth/main.conf doesn't make any different. - Only by including the hciconfig name command in my /etc/rc.local I can update the name of the device. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/611459 Title: Bluetooth utility doesn't remember the friendly name after reboot -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
