Description of problem: starting hidd always fails with a "Can't listen on HID control channel: Address already in use" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bluez-utils-3.9-2.fc7 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. service hidd restart 2. 3. Actual results: start fails with message Expected results: Additional info: This is a Dell Lattitude D620. Bluetooth works and I can send an receive files from my phone using obex-ftp. This is a fresh install of FC7.
After some experimentation, I found that if I stop bluetooth services and then start hidd it succeeds. I can restart the bluetooth services after this. However, if I switch the order, hidd won't start.
Curiously, once I stop bluetooth, restart hidd, and restart bluetooth, I can start and stop hidd with no further problems.
I can confirm Brian's workaround. I adjusted the startup priority of the HIDD service from 26 to 24 and updated the symbolic links with "chkconfig hidd resetpriorities". After rebooting, doing "hidd --search" discovers my Bluetooth mouse correctly.
