Bug Description
I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10 when beta 2 was released. Untill a week after I did, my Bluetooth worked normally. I was using it daily, so I know it was doing just fine. I do a system update multiple times a day and since one of those, my bluetooth stopped working.
Some of the problems are:
- After I open the bluetooth-applet (from gnome-bluetooth) and I want to slide the ON/OFF switch to ON, it stays on OFF. When I try a second time, it stays at ON.
- If I scan for devices (and I have another visible device next to it) it just stays scanning forever without finding anything. (I know bluetooth is on because I can see my computer on the other device.)
- If I turn off bluetooth from the applet or from the top bar, it stays on. I stay seeing it on other devices. When I turn it back on and off some times, it finally gets turned off.
I use a MacBook Pro i5 2.53GHz 15" 2010 in 64-bit.
I filed this for gnome-bluetooth, but probably it's caused by an error in some underlying bluetooth package. I can find the following in my update history:
- Mon Oct 1 17:31:20 2012
Upgraded the following packages:
libbluetooth3 (4.101-0ubuntu5) to 4.101-0ubuntu6
Installed the following packages:

Will a fix be released before the official Ubuntu 12.10 release?
