[Bug 139934] Re: bluetooth device not working (Toshiba A200 1GB)

[eletha]

Here is some more information about what's going on with me 
 Gutsy on a Dell630 with built in bluetooth. Hciconfig brings up hci0 with my BT address. But hcitool scan brings up nothing

[CODE]@ubuntu1:~$ hciconfig
hci0:   Type: USB
        BD Address: 00:1A:6B:E6:A9:4D ACL MTU: 310:10 SCO MTU: 64:8

        RX bytes:985 acl:0 sco:0 events:30 errors:0
        TX bytes:617 acl:0 sco:0 commands:28 errors:0[/CODE]

[CODE]@ubuntu1:~$ hcitool scan
Scanning ...
@ubuntu1:~$ [/CODE]

hcid[7798]: Got NameOwnerChanged signal for :1.3 which has no listeners[/CODE]

Can someone help me make sense of these errors and how I can explore
them/ fix them? Are all these permission denied warnings coming up
because I am not executing the command as root user? I tried the command
as root user, but it still wouldn't work.

When I normally type hcid -n, it tells me the following:
[CODE]Jul 28 12:32:11 ubuntu1 hcid[9176]: Bluetooth HCI daemon
Jul 28 12:32:11 ubuntu1 hcid[9176]: Could not become the primary owner of org.bluez
Jul 28 12:32:11 ubuntu1 hcid[9176]: Unable to get on D-Bus[/CODE]

What does is mean to not be able to become the primary owner of an
object path?  How can I check why this is happening?

I am also suspecting that the hcid and DBUS session bus are not
listening in on the same socket.

[CODE]$ dbus-launch
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-KPh3xmCqvf,guid=99a32f2da779f2875fca52004899685b
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID=7442[/CODE]

But in (from /etc/dbus-1/session.conf), session dbus listens to
[CODE]<listen>unix:tmpdir=/tmp</listen>[/CODE]

While Bluetooth (from /var/run/dbus/bluetoothd_address) listens to
[CODE]unix:abstract=/var/run/dbus-YTFIvIHHn3,guid=7e076046a505b17fa2548b004899667e[/CODE]

And (from /etc/dbus-1/system.conf) the System DBUS listens in on:
[CODE]<listen>unix:path=/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket</listen>[/CODE]

These directories are different, but session dbus which is the one i'm
probably interacting with is listening to a different directory all
together... should i hardcode this directory setting to change it to
/var/run/dbus?

I've also modified the system.con and session.conf to include system-
local.conf that allows user="root" and all active users to own
"org.bluez" but to still no avail.

Thanks!
