[Bug 410633] Re: [karmic] blueman-assistant crashed with AttributeError in DiscoverDevices()

[Alan Pope]

Hi Mario, thanks for the prompt response.

1) Yes, btusb is loaded.
2) /usr/bin/bluetoothd --udev   is running
3) Yes, it's "UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN"
4) Long story.

Looks like blueman conflicts with gnome-bluetooth, so I didn't have
gnome-bluetooth installed because I used blueman to configure the PS3
bluetooth remote (set it as trusted etc).

I just installed gnome-bluetooth and this of course removed blueman. I
then started the applet - which shows a small red cross in the corner of
the bluetooth applet logo. If I right click the applet I have the option
to turn bluetooth off and on again, and scan for devices. If I scan for
devices it sits there scanning but not finding anything. However, there
is an entry in dmesg for the bluetooth device, right at the end:-

[  424.163259] input: PS3 Remote Controller as
/devices/virtual/input/input8

And indeed if I press buttons (up, down, left, right, enter) I can
control the highlight on the desktop and commands in the shell. So the
upshot is the remote _works_ I guess due to me having set it up
previously in blueman, but that doesn't explain why gnome-bluetooth has
a red cross, or why it can't see the bluetooth in the Mac downstairs,
when blueman (and previously gnome-bluetooth) could.

Hope that makes sense.
