Hi,

> Most likely the bluetooth support for your laptop is broken under linux.

> the bluetooth module from the kernel is loaded which creates the above

> behaves correctly as to only start the daemon when there is actual

Matthias, thanks for your support.
I confirmed this bug with stretch, but the same problem did not happen.

Russell, could you confirm again with Matthias's comment?

Best regards,
  Nobuhiro
