I insert a USB bluetooth adapter into my system, and the applet comes up, but
reports "Bluetooth is disabled", and gives a button to "Turn on bluetooth".
Bluetooth is certainly not disabled, and works fine (I can create a PPP
connection using dund, and transfer data over it).

Now (after a s2disk / resume, with the USB adapter left plugged in), the applet
tray icon shows a little red 'x' over the main icon, and when I click on
'Preferences', I see:

"No Bluetooth adapters present

Your system does not have any Bluetooth adapters plugged in"

The adapter is plugged in, and working fine.

I have the same error with squeeze installed on my Thinkpad T43.

I have been using plain startx to start XFCE.

I installed libpam-ck-connector, and everything seems to be working now
- this also seems to have resolved the problems that I reported here:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=574652

So it seems that we need some kind of dependency on
libpam-ck-connector?

Thanks for walking me through this!
Celejar

reassign 574651 consolekit
retitle 574651 Should recommend a way to have consolekit working
thanks

I agree and I think it needs to be in consolekit itself.

Michael, how about this?
        Recommends: libpam-ck-connector | gdm | gdm3 | kdm

Cheers,

consolekit already has a recommends libpam-ck-connector.
I won't raise that to Depends.

Where do you want to add that, in consolekit? That won't happen.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure, installing libpam-ck-connector did not solve the users
problem as libpam-ck-connector (in its default configuration) does *not*
register any CK session when starting an X session, for that you either use a
login manager like gdm or kdm, or the Xsession integration.

libpam-ck-connector is mostly/only for console login (unless you tweak its
configuration, Celejar, did you change the libpam-ck-connector configuration?)

And I think the user haa problems in a X session.
As he was using startx, checking the Xsession.d integration should be the next step.

Joss, I'm not quite sure what you want me to do here?

No.

I'll be glad to provide any information requested, but I'll need some
direction - I don't know much about consolekit / X stuff.

Sorry, I didn’t see this /o\
I think a Recommends is enough for this purpose.

Didn’t it solve the problem by adding the user to udev ACLs because he
is logged on the console?

Yes, anyway this should be handled by the Xsession.d integration and
obviously it doesn’t work as expected.

Cheers,

The problem in the bug report is still here in current testing, 3.2.1-1:
If I insert an USB bluetooth dongle while the system is running, the
bluetooth icon appears, and the menu shows the activation switch as
"on", but it doesn't work: When I open the settings dialog, bluetooth is
shown to be off, and I can't switch it on. I can't toggle the visibility
switch from off to on, and I can't discover bluetooth gadgets.
Applications using the gnome dialogs don't work either.

On the system level, things seem to work okay, hcitool shows the device
and finds my mobile phone.

If I shut the device down using hciconfig and up again, the gnome menus
work. If I attach the bluetooth dongle before booting, the menus work
too. If I pull the USB dongle from a working gnome-bluetooth and
reattach it later, it works again flawlessly.

Seems like gnome-bluetooth is confused if a bluetooth adapter just
appears.

Dear submitter,

as the package gnome-bluetooth has just been removed from the Debian archive
unstable we hereby close the associated bug reports.  We are sorry
that we couldn't deal with your issue properly.

For details on the removal, please see https://bugs.debian.org/1093420

The version of this package that was in Debian prior to this removal
can still be found using https://snapshot.debian.org/.

Please note that the changes have been done on the master archive and
will not propagate to any mirrors until the next dinstall run at the
earliest.
