[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#872047: bluetooth: Bluetooth status seems inconsistent after boot

[johan]

Package: bluetooth
Version: 5.43-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

This may not be exactly related to the "bluetooth" package but I don't know
what package or software exactly causes this.

The problem is: Bluetooth status seems inconsistent after boot.

Bluetooth indicator light, hcitool/hciconfig and Blueman tray applet show
different information.


System:
Thinkpad T410 with Broadcom Bluetooth chip.
Debian 9 "Stretch", x86-64, using Stable repositories.
Xfce desktop, Blueman applet version 2.0.4 enabled on the system tray.



What usually happens:


1) Right after boot and login:

Bluetooth indicator light is on.

Blueman shows that bluetooth is disabled.

"hcitool dev" shows no devices.

"hciconfig" shows:
hci0:   Type: Primary  Bus: USB
        BD Address: <address>  ACL MTU: 1021:8  SCO MTU: 64:1
        DOWN
        RX bytes:571 acl:0 sco:0 events:33 errors:0
        TX bytes:2321 acl:0 sco:0 commands:34 errors:0



2) Activate bluetooth via Blueman:

Indicator light is on.

"hcitool dev" shows:
Devices:
        hci0    <address>

"hciconfig" shows:
hci0:   Type: Primary  Bus: USB
        BD Address: <address>  ACL MTU: 1021:8  SCO MTU: 64:1
        UP RUNNING
        RX bytes:1100 acl:0 sco:0 events:59 errors:0
        TX bytes:2924 acl:0 sco:0 commands:61 errors:0




3) Deactivate bluetooth via blueman:

Indicator light is off.

"hcitool dev" shows no devices.

"hciconfig" shows nothing.
