Hi Mario, thanks for the prompt response. 1) Yes, btusb is loaded. 2) /usr/bin/bluetoothd --udev is running 3) Yes, it's "UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN" 4) Long story.
Looks like blueman conflicts with gnome-bluetooth, so I didn't have gnome-bluetooth installed because I used blueman to configure the PS3 bluetooth remote (set it as trusted etc). I just installed gnome-bluetooth and this of course removed blueman. I then started the applet - which shows a small red cross in the corner of the bluetooth applet logo. If I right click the applet I have the option to turn bluetooth off and on again, and scan for devices. If I scan for devices it sits there scanning but not finding anything. However, there is an entry in dmesg for the bluetooth device, right at the end:- [ 424.163259] input: PS3 Remote Controller as /devices/virtual/input/input8 And indeed if I press buttons (up, down, left, right, enter) I can control the highlight on the desktop and commands in the shell. So the upshot is the remote _works_ I guess due to me having set it up previously in blueman, but that doesn't explain why gnome-bluetooth has a red cross, or why it can't see the bluetooth in the Mac downstairs, when blueman (and previously gnome-bluetooth) could. Hope that makes sense. -- [karmic] blueman-assistant crashed with AttributeError in DiscoverDevices() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
