[Bug 569650] [NEW] bluez fails to connect

[dkeller]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bluez

When trying to connect to a remote device via python-bluez the connect
method fails in a script that previously worked reliably.  The device
discovery works correctly, but hangs when connecting (via connect
method), and eventually throws an error.

The problem could be within python-bluez, but I don't think that package
has been updated with Intrepid.

Additionally, when I try to connect another system though Blueman, I get
the same type of behavior - the device appears to get recognized (device
discovery presumably), but alas fails to connect with an error.

It seems like such a fundamental problem, that it makes me think that
perhaps it's a configuration error. However, the client/server
application I have been running for months stably with on 9.04/9.10 and
now on 10.04 and about a week ago it stopped working after a system
update.

Thanks.
Dave
