For about two days now, my bluetooth has not been functional. The bluetooth icon is not present on the top panel. The bluetooth window is completely frozen as can be seen in this picture:
The output for bluetoothd -d -n
is:
bluetoothd[3390]: Bluetooth daemon 4.98
bluetoothd[3390]: src/main.c:parse_config() parsing main.conf
bluetoothd[3390]: src/main.c:parse_config() discovto=0
bluetoothd[3390]: src/main.c:parse_config() pairto=0
bluetoothd[3390]: src/main.c:parse_config() pageto=8192
bluetoothd[3390]: src/main.c:parse_config() auto_to=60
bluetoothd[3390]: src/main.c:parse_config() name=%h-%d
bluetoothd[3390]: src/main.c:parse_config() class=0x000100
bluetoothd[3390]: src/main.c:parse_config() discov_interval=30
bluetoothd[3390]: src/main.c:parse_config() Key file does not have key 'DeviceID'
The output for start bluetooth
is:
start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.343" (uid=1000 pid=19042 comm="start bluetooth ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init")
My Ubuntu version is 12.04. Any idea as to how this can be sorted?
