[Bug 554471] Re: I can't remove a bluetooth device with bluetooth-properties
Given that; - the problem appears to be at a pretty low-level, - the only known method of circumvention appears to be to reset the state information held in /var/lib/bluetooth, which is used by the bluez bluetoothd daemon, - that bluetoothd is owned by the bluez package, and - even the bluez utilities and tools can't remove these corrupted states, it looks a lot like this is actually a fairly low-level bug with either bluez or the associated utilities, so I'm including the blues package in this bug report.

[Bug 554471] Re: I can't remove a bluetooth device with bluetooth-properties
Hi folks, especially Jeff Lane I managed to connect a bluetooth mouse up using the unity applet (gnome- bluetooth), and then somehow managed to mess it up in a way similar to the way you folks have - it didn't appear in the bluetooth devices list, yet when I turned it on the lock appeared on the bluetooth icon and it appeared in the applet list... but no "connection" button and didn't appear in the devices list. This was a relatively new install of Ubuntu 14.04-2 LTS 64bit but I didn't want to just reinstall, so I tried a few different solutions listed (including a few command line commands and blueman) to try to delete the device, all giving the same error as the original poster. So I gave up and did a locate blue | less and had a look to see where bluetooth state information was and to see if I couldn't erase it and start afresh. I came across the directory /var/lib/bluetooth/ that appears to hold entries for such devices, including the half-installed-half-broken device - I turned bluetooth off, deleted everything in this directory, rebooted and then could finally get the mouse to repair again! :D This can't be considered tooo radical, because you can delete these entries in that directory as a normal user. You can probably just get away with deleting the directory associated with the MAC of the device that is causing the problems, if you don't want to lose all your pairings. Hope that this method of circumvention helps some others here too? It's certainly a bug and a nasty one that can appear quickly after a verbatim fresh install of 14.04-2 LTS too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554471 Title: I can't remove a bluetooth device with bluetooth-properties To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-bluetooth/+bug/554471/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Why is this two years old, and more importantly, why is there no obvious way to remove bluetooth devices once they're paired? Nor any easy way to re-enter the PIN if you messed it up the first time? This still affects gnome-bluetooth (bluetooth-applet specifically) in Precise and Quantal, and I presume Raring since this has existed since Lucid. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554471 Title: I can't remove a bluetooth device with bluetooth-properties To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-bluetooth/+bug/554471/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I had the same problem (Ubuntu 10.10 on Macbook). blueman did not help. I fixed it by booting again in MacOSX, remove the device (disconnecting only did not help) then I could set it up as a new device in Ubuntu again. I am not too familiar with bluetooth, but maybe there is something in the bluetooth adapter that stores the pairing with the device and it expects the OS to handle that properly (?).

Re: [Bug 554471] Re: I can't remove a bluetooth device with bluetooth-properties
