Bluetooth Error in Feisty Fawn

[samad909]

I have tried searching ubuntu forums and also asked for help in the forum and on freenode ubuntu chatroom. The problem is that when I do a hcitool scan after a little time it says Inquiry Failed:Connection Timed Out. I have tried lsusb and it lists my bluetooth dongle. Even a hcitool dev shows up my bluetooth dongle with a BT address but scanning is not possible at all. The error that comes up is "Inquiry Failed:Connection Timed Out".

Let's start with the "Minimal Information" from this page:

Thanks.

Do you get something from:

grep Bluetooth /var/log/messages

[samad909 (hacker-samad)]

I am still waiting for a reponse/fix..

[Ralf Meyer (ranf)]

You said the bluetooth hardware is listed with "lsusb".

Please attach the output of:

sudo lsusb -v

uhh...what next?

Hi all

you only need to remove "discovto 0;" from '/etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf'!
Don't forget to restart the bluetooth services (/etc/init.d/bluetooth restart) so the changes will take effect!

good luck!

[samad909 (hacker-samad)]

ok thanks, I will check it and let you know

[samad909 (hacker-samad)]

well it does not work

same error again

I just commented that discovto line in the file you told me to and I have the same error
user@pc:~$ sudo hcitool scan
Scanning ...
Inquiry failed: Connection timed out

user@pc:~$ hcitool scan
Scanning ...
Inquiry failed: Connection timed out

[samad909 (hacker-samad)]

I restarted the bluetooth service too before attempting the stuff given above....any ideas anyone?

michelino...carry this on...I had to switch back to windows xp as I had to do alot of things via bluetooth...I will check back often...once it is fixed I will give ubuntu a shot again...till then I am using ubuntu on my server and xp on the desktop..

[erwin (erwinatuli)]

hi i'm havin exactly the same problem with samad909
hi,. great work ya all..

[Evgeny Remizov (ram3ai)]

try
sudo hciconfig hci0 reset

worked at least for me

[Kriebz (kriebz)]

This worked for me, too, but I have no idea why it's necessary. I've heard of some Broadcom chips not starting in the right mode, so maybe that's my problem. lsusb -v stanza for my little nugget/dongle is "0a5c:2039 Broadcom Corp. Bluetooth Device". I'd add something to the bluetooth init script by hand if I thought it wouldn't get overwritten.

samad909: come back to the fold!

Is this still an issue for you? Which Ubuntu version do you use? Thank you for telling us!
