Bug#570065: gnome-bluetooth: bluetoothd not started

[Uwe Kleine-König]

Package: gnome-bluetooth
Version: 2.30.0-2
Severity: normal

Hello,

I'm in a similar situation as the original poster.  Bluetooth is
reported to be enabled, but there's the red cross in the applet.
See http://strlen.de/ukleinek/bluetoothbug.jpg for a screenshot.
Obviously I cannot enable it, my "problem" here is, that bluetoothd is
not running.   (I havn't investigated *why* it's not running yet.)

IMHO the bluetooth applet should be able to handle that situation (i.e.
no running bluetoothd) more smooth.

When I start bluetoothd as root, the cross goes away and the applet
becomes usable.

Best regards
Uwe
