[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#587158: bluetoothd: No DBus connection

[Thomas Themel]

Package: bluez
Version: 4.66-1
Severity: important

Hi,

I can't pair Bluetooth devices with the latest version of bluez. 
bluetooth-agent fails with

themel at kallisti:~$ bluetooth-agent 1234
Can't get default adapter
The name org.bluez was not provided by any .service files

Indeed, org.bluez is not on the system DBus. When I start 
bluetoothd -nd as root while watching with QDBusViewer, I see it appear
and quickly disappear. A dbus-monitor trace confirms that it pops up,

signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=(null destination) serial=7 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameOwnerChanged
   string ":1.57"
   string ""
   string ":1.57"

- registers its service name - 

signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=(null destination) serial=8 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameOwnerChanged
   string "org.bluez"
   string ""
   string ":1.57"

then emits a lot of signals before disappearing a fraction of a second later:

signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=(null destination) serial=9 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameOwnerChanged
   string "org.bluez"
   string ":1.57"
   string ""
signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=(null destination) serial=10 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameOwnerChanged
   string ":1.57"
   string ":1.57"
   string ""
