Subject: bluez: upgrade from version 4.96 to 4.98 or 4.99 breaks usability

Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2012 10:26:19 +0100

Package: bluez
Version: 4.99-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
an upgrade of the package

I have been using my bluetooth speakers happily with Debian bluez version 4.96
using the following configuration:

~$ cat .asoundrc
pcm.bluetooth {
    type bluetooth
        device 00:02:3C:26:BA:87 # change this MAC address using the
command "hcitool scan"
         profile "auto"
         }

pcm.!default {
     type hw
     card 0
     device 0
}


using bluetooth pairing I was able to use either vlc or mplayer to
play music through the
bluetooth speakers.

However, upgrading that packages rendered the speakers unusable. I
downgraded the package,
and installed manually the files from bluez-4.99 to their correct
paths, until I found that
the problematic file that causes the change of behaviour is
/usr/sbin/bluetoothd.

* What was the outcome of this action?

with /usr/sbin/bluetoothd from 4.99 I am getting the following errors:
root@somehost:# /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop
root@somehost:# cp /usr/sbin/bluetoothd.ORG.4.99 /usr/sbin/bluetoothd

(process:15496): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
    Using the fallback 'C' locale.
    bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)


* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or  ineffective)?
if I copy cp /usr/sbin/bluetoothd.ORG.4.96 back to /usr/sbin/bluetoothd
I have no problem using the bluetooth speakers.

I would like to continue using the above configuration (or similar)
to enjoy using my bluetooth speakers.
I don't want to use pulse-audio, however, at the moment I can only use
my speakers with pulse audio installed or with downgrading the bluez
binary to the one from the package version 4.96.



Thanks,
Oz

Hi Szymon,

Thanks for the reply!
This works ... I've documented in my Blog and in Debian's wiki
(http://wiki.debian.org/Bluetooth/Alsa)

Cheers,
Oz

(I guess you can close the following bugs:
