Thanks Bruno,
I'll try to describe the issue more clearly,

1. I did a clean install of Ubuntu 9.1.
2. Immediately I had an issue with bluetooth.
3. The BT icon is greyed out
4. When I mouse over the BT icon a pop up box indicates "Bluetooth
disabled".
5. When I right click the icon
       Bluetooth:on - is greyed out
       Turn Bluetooth off - is black
       Preferences - is black
6. Opening preferences
      Top left states Bluetooth is disabled
      There is a button "Turn bluetooth on"
7. When "turn bluetooth on" button is clicked, the button greys out
but does not perform the function.
8. The preferences box remains with the greyed out button until the x
box is clicked. The whole box closes. /Bluetooth does not turn on.
/9. Intermittently, the BT icon is black when the computer restarts,
unfortunately pairing does not occur.
10. My system can find my phone, another computer in my house etc but
my phone & the other computer cannot find my ubuntu system. Even though
the system BT is set up to transmit all the time.

I hope this is sufficient info
Thanks
Tina Lively
