Comment 0 for bug 913736

During UDS-P I was experimenting with various settings to reduce power consumption on my Lenonvo Thinkpad 410s.

I turned Bluetooth off via the System Settings - Bluetooth panel. I also removed the icon from the panel by turning visibility to Off. This all works great except for the simple fact that I cannot re-enable my Bluetooth anymore.

When I re-launch System Settings - Bluetooth, both toggle switches are "Off", and the left hand column below includes the text "No Bluetooth Adapters found". There seems to be no way to re-enable my Bluetooth now as both switches are disabled and grayed out.

I believe this is due to the fact that when BT is disabled, the device disappears from the bus, which leaves nothing for the code to grab in order to re-enable the device. This is a guess on my part, as I haven't yet taken a look at the code...

My machine is running 11.10 with all of the latest updates.

The version of gnome-control-center on my machine is:

gnome-control-center:
  Installed: 1:3.2.2-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1:3.2.2-0ubuntu1
