[Bug 713750] [NEW] bluetoothd needs to be restarted to get bluetooth to work

[Torsten Römer]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bluez

This seems to be a regression.
When I start my notebook, bluetooth is disabled and I switch it on once Ubuntu is started. Until some days ago, the bluetooth symbol appeared in the notification area and my travel mouse worked after a few seconds.
Since a couple of days, after an update with the update-manager, the bluetooth symbol appears after switching the device on and the bluetooth-applet says it is on, but it is actually off. If I go to the settings, it says it is disabled and there is a huge button to enable it, but clicking it does nothing besides that the button gets disabled.
When I kill the process "/usr/sbin/bluetoothd --udev" and start it again, bluetooth gets turned on/enabled and all works fine.
