Public bug reported: Binary package hint: bluetooth
I suspect this is a bluetooth/bluez/bluetoothd bug, NOT a kernel bug because my Bluetooth adapter DOES work with kernel 2.6.28 and bluetooth/bluez 3.xx hcid (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/289836/comments/19 for Intrepid with kernel 2.6.27 and below for Jaunty). I know most bluetooth bugs are marked as duplicate of a kernel bug. I file this as a separate bug on purpose. I am working in Jaunty :~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch) Release: 9.04 Kernel :~$ uname -r 2.6.28-7-generic with bluetooth/bluez 4.29: ~$ dpkg -l blue* ||/ Nom Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii bluefish 1.0.7-5 advanced Gtk+ HTML editor ii bluetooth 4.29-0ubuntu1 Bluetooth support ii bluez 4.29-0ubuntu1 Bluetooth tools and daemons ii bluez-alsa 4.29-0ubuntu1 Bluetooth audio support ii bluez-cups 4.29-0ubuntu1 Bluetooth printer driver for CUPS ii bluez-gnome 1.8-0ubuntu2 Bluetooth utilities for GNOME ii bluez-gstreame 4.29-0ubuntu1 Bluetooth gstreamer support ii bluez-utils 4.29-0ubuntu1 Transitional package also ii gnome-bluetoot 0.11.0-0ubuntu GNOME Bluetooth tools. ii libbluetooth3 4.29-0ubuntu1 Library to use the BlueZ Linux Bluetooth sta This is my D-Link adapter: ~$ lsusb | grep Bluetooth Bus 001 Device 003: ID 2001:f111 D-Link Corp.

In short: I DID use successfully a D-Link DBT-122 Bluetooth adapter, with kernel 2.6.28 I am sorry that I forgot to look at the daemon log at each try. I give some typical excerpts of the daemon log in attachment, with bluetoothd errors and the final success of hcid. ** Affects: bluez (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Bluetooth/Bluez 4.xx unable to use some adapters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/329828 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
