The reason for the last comment is that apparently many issues seem to be related by higher level tools using wrong (maybe old?) interfaces for low level operation, as the strace indicates for bluedevil.
The fact that the same kind of issues are present using both the unity indicator interface and the kde bluedevil interface seems to me an interesting symptom for developers. The fact that there is no bluetooth applet to test with the most current higher level tools is reported because it makes testing more difficult. In any case, please let me know if it is better/OK if I close this bug as invalid and open - one for bluetooth applet missing - one for bluedevil not working - one for indicator bluetooth not working -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-bluetooth in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1242462 Title: bluetooth seems badly broken in saucy Status in “indicator-bluetooth” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: just upgraded to 13.10 on an EEEPC 1000H.
