Comment 30 for bug 284982

Intrepid 8.10 64bit

Getting these errors:

Dec 7 22:24:33 kylea-e6500 bluetoothd[13095]: Failed to find Bluetooth netlink family
Dec 7 22:01:53 kylea-e6500 bluetoothd[10423]: Can't init plugin /usr/lib/bluetooth/plugins/netlink.so

Have had a pattern of having Bluetooth radio turned off during boot and until gnome desktop is fully loaded - this has worked fine for 1 week.

This weekend load this stopped "working"

Tried repeated switch off and on after approx 10 attempts Bluetooth would start.

Sunday evening nothing was working...

So followed this suggestion...

****************************************************

"My device detection also improved when I added the blueman repo. I haven't tried all the dialup/etc functions, but this fixes my "No such device" problem.

Re-paired from the Phone to laptop

Shutdown phone - restarted then Bluetooth worked.
