hello, here is my workaround that consistently works not only at boot or reboot but also after suspend/hibernate...
--> just install using synaptic the bluez package from blueman ppa (ppa:blueman/ppa); it only exists for maverick but it installs ok in natty. before I tried 1) kernel upgrade from natty proposed 2) /etc/init.d/ bluetooth restart in /etc/rc.local 1) did not work and 2) does not work after suspend/resume hope this will help someone trapped in natty and lazy as myself to downgrade to the good old maverick... PS: after having to deal with this and the infamous 1-pixel tray icons bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/unity/+bug/767095) I wonder how it is possible that natty ever came out of the beta (not to say alpha) status -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/762964 Title: Bluetooth doesn't work in Ubuntu 11.04 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
