Bug Description

I'm using a usb adapter. And gnome-bluetooth (2.28.1-0ubuntu2) can find it and use it to connect to my headset or cell phone. But when I use blueman (1.21-1~ppa1k) to turn on the bluetooth, I always got: "Failed to set bluetooth power The error reported is: Connection timed out" message. The default version in ubuntu 9.10 works for once (can find the adapter and connect to my device) but suddenly died before I can test anything.

I'm using blueman ppa channel for ubuntu

Try this, it worked for me:

- Open terminal
- Type in "sudo gedit /etc/bluetooth/main.conf" without the quotes
- Change the value of RememberPowered from true to false

I also have this problem, with Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 latest kernels from normal repos

Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

The funny thing is it worked once and only once when I changed rememberpowered from true to false.....

after that same old error........ Is this getting close to being fixed?

I also have the latest Blueman and the latest Bluez

I tried the workaround form here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blueman/+bug/411481

but nothing

and I don't think this is a duplicate bug

I have the same problem as the andrew describes.
With Ubuntu 10.04 it works fine but when I upgrade my system to 10.10 my device is recognized very hardly.

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 1131:1001 Integrated System Solution Corp. KY-BT100 Bluetooth Adapter

The device works normally when I plug and unplug it a few times and restart bluetooth daemon using the follow commands:
/etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
/etc/init.d/bluetooth stop
/etc/init.d/bluetooth start

Latest succesful combination was: plug - restart - stop - start - restart - unplug - plug - restart
