[Bug 458817] Re: Bluetoothd cannot talk to D-BUS/HAL/...

[Hungerburg]

Please advise:

I see the same problem as the original poster. This is a fresh install
of Xubuntu 10.4: Pairing does not work, the computer/adapter is
invisible.

Funny thing, yesterday after some experimenting, all of a sudden, the
bluetooth applet lost the (x) and I could pair the phone. Today, however
all is back to its nonworking state, except wammu works, as the phone is
paired now!

I reinstalled all bluez packages
$ dpkg -l blue* |grep tooth
	ii  bluetooth                4.60-0ubuntu8         Bluetooth support
	ii  bluez                    4.60-0ubuntu8         Bluetooth tools and daemons
	ii  bluez-alsa               4.60-0ubuntu8         Bluetooth audio support
	ii  bluez-cups               4.60-0ubuntu8         Bluetooth printer driver for CUPS
	ii  bluez-gstreamer          4.60-0ubuntu8         Bluetooth GStreamer support
$ sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/bluez*

when plugging in the dongle, syslog writes:

bluetoothd will not create the org.bluez node in DBUS, I use this command to test that:
# dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames
following that, the sample bluez script fails:
# /usr/share/doc/bluez/examples/list-devices 
the last line of the message reads:
	dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.bluez was not provided by any .service files
