Some Bluetooth dongles may have a kernel problem but others not. People keep telling others to try new kernels and patch kernels. But for some dongles, there is no kernel problem but a Bluez daemon problem. See my test on 2009-03-18: with the daemon stopped, with btusb alone, my dongle scans my phone. With the daemon active, I get the hci0 timeout error message.
More people should do this test. Sudo etc/init.d/bluetooth stop and then try hciconfig -a and hcitool scan to see the result. (If hci0 is not recognized, it maybe efficient to take the dongle away and then back in and redo hciconfig-a and hcitool scan.) This way it is possible to separate btusb issues and bluetoothd issues. I tried bluetooth/bluez/libbluetooth3 version 4.33+git20090327-0ubuntu1. There is no improvement. With a D-Link DBT-122, Bluez is still just as broken as five months ago. -- Bluetooth doesn't work (hci_cmd_task: hci0 command tx timeout) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268502 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
