* debian/rules: Disable pnat, it shouldn't have been compiled in the first place; since it's only really useful on Maemo. (LP: #1280584) -- Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre <mathieu...@ubuntu.com> Thu, 10 Apr 2014 16:10:13 -0400 ** Changed in: bluez (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1280584 Title: Bluetooth daemon default configuration is wrong Status in “bluez” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I was trying to connect my Android device to python script via bluetooth connection. The connection raised fine but it was not able to make the connection. I am using [1] as server. When looking at syslog i noticed: > bluetoothd[707]: Unable to spawn pnatd: Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/phonet-at" (No such file or directory) Googling that gives [2]. And comment from 'Selmi' follows up to discussion on linux-bluetooth [3]. They say: >There should be absolutely no reason for Ubuntu have this plugin enabled or even compiled. You might wanna file a bug to them to disable it. The only place where it makes sense to be compiled is in Nokia's Maemo Harmattan platform. For everything else it should be disabled (as it is by default). And indeed, adding line 'DisablePlugins = pnat' to '/etc/bluetooth/main.conf' makes the test work fine.
