Bluetooth/detect test fails and asks me to submit a bug

[Nicola Heald]

The bluetooth/detect test fails (as, I understand, it should be able to) but checkbox asks me to submit a bug, as if it's a crash. That's confusing.

Also, it asks me to run

  sudo hcidump -XYt > $HOME/hci.log but

but hcidump hasn't been installed along with checkbox. (I haven't removed it manually, btw) The package associated with the bluetooth/detect test is bluez, but the hcidump is in the bluez-hcidump package.

Also, after completing the bug report process, checkbox becomes unresponsive and I can't continue with the test run. There are processes owned by root that my user can't kill, so a user unfamiliar with the command line would have to reboot to be able to do their test run again.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same issue here in liveCD on Amilo M 7405

[Konrad Zapałowicz (kzapalowicz)]

This is reported against an old version of Ubuntu and many things has changed since then. Because of that we won't fix this issue however if this behavior repeats on a modern version please fill a bug report against it and we will take it from there.
