[Solved] Latest udev update breaks my bluetooth system

framas · 2011-05-28 18:34:07

Today I updated to udev udev-171-1. After reboot bluedevil or blueman could not find my bluetooh adapter anymore. As a result my mouse is not working anymore. Downgrading udev resolves the problem. Could anybody confirm this issue? Or should I better fill out a bug report?
I have a Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth Mini-card.

Thank you. I thought I was going crazy.! I just installed Arch TODAY (switching from Gentoo), and had the same thing happen to me about 4 hours after my install. I have been spending most of the day trying to figure out why I could not use my BT after I went to the theater! Never occured to me that it was the upgrade because I was so active on the system getting it configured out to my liking.

The bad part, I cannot confirm the rollback fixes it because I reinstalled arch thinking I had b0rked something, and no longer have the pkg file. What revision are you using? I will have to see if I can find it in an alternate repository...

Edit: Forgot to say, same BT adapter.

Confirmed... Rollback to 168-2 from a mirror that had older udev packages resolved the problem. I am not sure that I can appreciate why pacman and the Arch repositories do not account for this eventuality. In gentoo I would mask that particular revision, and get the next release... Neither here nor there. Maybe Arch has similar functionality that I have just not found yet... Either way, my Dell 370 mini-card works now too. Thanks! Did you already handle the bug report?

Hi,

I can confirm this problem. My bluetooth adapter (Dell Computer Corp. Wireless 365 Bluetooth) don't work with udev 171, works great with 168-2.

maybe this has something to do with it:
ATTENTION UDEV:
---------------
Kernel 2.6.32 or newer is now required.
OSS emulation modules are not loaded by default, add to rc.conf if needed.
Arch specific cd symlinks are now no longer created.
cd and net persistent rules will no longer be autogenerated,
see <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udev> for details.
Errors are now logged (possibly to the console) by default.
