This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping I'm tempted to say this still plagues Fedora 10. I was running Fedora 8, just like the OP, using my bluetooth keyboard when around the same time it stopped working following a yum update. I have now upgraded to Fedora 10 and bluetooth is still broken. $ tail /var/log/messages: Dec 8 23:27:45 localhost kernel: bluetoothd[2952]: segfault at 7 ip 002e1b53 sp bfef0c50 error 4 in libc-2.9.so[272000+16e000] $ service bluetooth status bluetoothd dead but subsys locked $ lsusb | grep Blue Bus 002 Device 004: ID 22b8:0850 Motorola PCS Bluetooth Device Could you please get a backtrace of bluetoothd crashing? Don't forget to install the necessary packages: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces Ok I have a backtrace here. Unfortunately I can't reliably make it crash every time. I'm not sure what sequence it takes but the last thing I do before every crash is run "sudo hciconfig hci0 reset". Restarting the bluetoothd and rerunning that command alone doesn't make it crash though.
I got this backtrace by attaching to the bluetoothd pid in gdb.
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I should also note I'm getting this message repeated a lot in /var/log/messages:
Dec 9 23:13:30 localhost kernel: hci_cmd_task: hci0 command tx timeout
Dec 9 23:13:35 localhost bluetoothd[3123]: Can't write class of device: Connection timed out (110)
After googling that I came across a thread, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/281949, and people are pointing fingers at a kernel upgrade that caused bluetooth to stop working for them.
Let me know if there is anything else I can try to help.
Should work fine with recent kernel updates. Let me know if not. Just last week I upgraded to Fedora 10 and updated to the latest bluez and kernel. My bluetooth keyboard is working fine. Thanks! Good stuff, thanks. |
