I am on Ubuntu Karmic using Acer Laptop Aspire 5720. The inbuilt bluetooth button is dead, there is no bluetooth/deafult file and although blueZ and bluetooth Manager have been installed via Synaptic, boot up does not load blueZ resulting in Bluettoth Manager reporting that : Bluez daemon is not running, blueman-manager cannot continue. grep gives me: r...@acer-laptop:/home/seanbw# dmesg | grep 'Bluetooth' [ 0.284010] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.15 [ 0.284018] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized [ 0.284022] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized [ 1.237941] Bluetooth: L2CAP ver 2.13 [ 1.237943] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized [ 1.237947] Bluetooth: SCO (Voice Link) ver 0.6 [ 1.237949] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized [ 1.237999] Bluetooth: RFCOMM TTY layer initialized [ 1.238003] Bluetooth: RFCOMM socket layer initialized [ 1.238005] Bluetooth: RFCOMM ver 1.11
