[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#741708: bluez: When start bluetooth service, syslog shows: "DIS cannot start: GATT is disabled"

[Tianyi Wang]

Package: bluez
Version: 4.101-4.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The bluetooth device does not work on my laptop (Dell latitue 3440).
I newly installed Debian stable, then upgraded to testing branch.
I installed blueman as the bluetooth manager. When I click "setup new
device",
it shows error: "no adapters found".

When I tried to restart bluetooth service using command "service bluetooth
restart"
Syslog shows:

bluetoothd[6558]: Bluetooth daemon 4.101
bluetoothd[6558]: Starting SDP server
bluetoothd[6558]: DIS cannot start: GATT is disabled
bluetoothd[6558]: Failed to init deviceinfo plugin
bluetoothd[6558]: Failed to init proximity plugin
bluetoothd[6558]: Failed to init time plugin
bluetoothd[6558]: Failed to init alert plugin
bluetoothd[6558]: Failed to init thermometer plugin
bluetoothd[6558]: Failed to init gatt_example plugin
bluetoothd[6558]: Bluetooth Management interface initialized
dbus[2270]: [system] Activating service name='org.blueman.Mechanism' (using
servicehelper)
blueman-mechanism: Starting blueman-mechanism
dbus[2270]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.blueman.Mechanism'
blueman-mechanism: loading Network
blueman-mechanism: loading RfKill
blueman-mechanism: loading Ppp
blueman-mechanism: loading Config

This might relate to bug #724735 which was closed. The syslog message is
quite similiar to my syslog message.
The bug reporter saying that he got this problem when upgraded to bluez
4.101-3. Bluetooth works when
he downgraded bluez to 4.101-2+b1. I tried to boot into a ubuntu 13.10 live
CD environment (had it around),
the bluetooth device works perfectly. The bluez version is 4.101-0. The bug
should have been fixed in
bluez 4.101-4, but it's still happeing to me.
