Comment 33 for bug 284982

After adding these to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/blueman/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/blueman/ubuntu intrepid main"

I noticed some "New in repository" items via Synaptic Package Manager.

Ran those - had to uninstall "bluez-compat"

This installed libbluetooth3 and blueman (0.5) and some other items.

Now I start blueman after PC boots to gnome and its all working. blueman also has a much better interface

Here is an extract from my Commit Log for Sun Dec 7 2008
