To post a comment you must log in.
This is not properly a bug, it's related to how btpd works in Ubuntu
(see /usr/share/
btpd runs as a system daemon with its own user, you should use the init script to control it:
sudo /etc/init.d/btpd stop -> kill
sudo /etc/init.d/btpd start -> launch
sudo /etc/init.d/btpd restart -> first kill then launch again
However, I understand this is not very user-friendly. I'm thinking of a better way to force users to manage the daemon correctly. Any suggestion is welcome.
Cheers,
Cesare.
