[karmic] applet keeps appearing / disappearing

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄]

Binary package hint: gnome-bluetooth

See attached screencast. The bluetooth applet keeps appearing and disappearing on the panel.

Tried running bluetooth-applet -d but there is not much debug output.

alan@wopr64:~$ bluetooth-applet -d
Agent registration failed: Method "RegisterAgent" with signature "os" on interface "org.bluez.Adapter" doesn't exist

If i run bluetoothd manually I get:-

alan@wopr64:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/bluetoothd -n -d

If you still see this with latest, can you please killall bluetoothd and run bluetoothd --no-daemon --debug and capture the logging output you get while this on/off happens

sorry: sudo bluetoothd --nodaemon --debug
