Starting with bluez-utils-3.x we set the adapter into Inquiry with RSSI if it supports it and most Bluetooth 1.2 or later ones do. So in this mode you will see HCI_Inquiry_Result_With_RSSI and no longer HCI_Inquiry_Result events. Since the gnome-bluetooth and kdebluetooth only listen to later one, they won't find any devices in range. The Linux kernel and the tools from bluez-utils are capable of handling this. In fact they already handle the HCI_Extended_Inquiry_Response that will be introduced with Bluetooth 2.1.
The regression is that bluez-utils-2.x kept the Bluetooth 1.1 inquiry mode, while bluez-utils-3.x will use the best possible mode. -- gnome-obex-send cannot find devices https://launchpad.net/bugs/70718 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
