kbluetooth4 was working fine until now.

The same for me.
kbluetooth4-devicemanager can't connect with kbluetooth4:

I have a problem something similar to this. I have no tray icon, but when I run from konsole it says

~$ kbluetooth4
kbluetooth4
KBluetooth4 is already running!

[Marc Bres Gil (marc-bres)]

The same it's happening to me, I have no bluetooth icon in the tray, but when trying to start kbluetooth4 from konsole, says it's already running.
Then I start kbluetooth4-devicemanager from konsole, but when I click at the Add device button, throws me the error:

arguments to dbus_message_new_method_call() were incorrect, assertion "path != NULL" failed in file dbus-message.c line 1070.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.

I can get any traces you need to solve this bug.

Thanks!

[Jimmy (jimmygirardet)]

same thing.
Was working fine before today but I did an upgrade and since it fails.

[Mato Konecny (konecm)]

same for me

I've found this info at Kubuntu 8.10 RC release info:
"Bluetooth is currently broken for Kubuntu Intrepid due to a last minute upgrade of the bluez stack. We hope to have a fix for this but only as an update after release, 2008. https://launchpad.net/bugs/280997"

I can confirm that I also am unable to add devices when attempting to search I get this in the konsole.

Reading the bug report linked by lod I think this bug report should be closed as a duplicate. To me it seems quite clear that this bug is a direct result of 280997. What do you think?
