[Bug 762964] Re: Bluetooth doesn't work in Ubuntu 11.04

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

The problem here is that there seems to me like quite a few reports of
"bluetooth not working"; unfortunately many of them are for vastly
different hardware devices.

Ideally people should file new, separate bugs for their hardware, using
'ubuntu-bug linux' and answering the questions, the providing a clear
description of the symptoms. It seems like there has been many issues
with bluetooth this cycle related to various drivers and race conditions
in loading these drivers; making sure that easch of those are listed
independently against linux with all the necessary information about the
exact driver in use (and also including the relevant syslog, usb, etc.
info; which using ubuntu-bug automates). As it is, it looks like this
bug is fairly hard to work on.

FWIW, I've had issues too, with a different device as well. While
everything initially appears to be caused by the  gnome-bluetooth or
bluez applications, it's really largely a kernel problem in most cases.
In the chance that it's not the problem in your case and really
introduced by bluez, then the developers looking at your bug can
reassign it to the correct package.

** Changed in: bluez (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

** Changed in: gnome-bluetooth (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete
