bluetooth doesn't find nearby devices

i have the next problem,i was able to find my phone and bluetooth headset and other bluetooth devices around me,anyway one day i decided to set up pulse so i could use my bluetooth headset with my computer,i tried to set up the connection and i was not able to find any bluetooth device,i try to find them with gnome-bluetooth and hcitools and nothing happens
[xxxxx@Desktop /]$ hcitool scan
Scanning ...
[xxxxx@Desktop /]$

also i don't know if this has something to do

[xxxxx@Desktop /]$ bluez-simple-agent

Same issue here. Did you managed to solve it?

Do you have dbus-python package?

Re: bluetooth doesn't find nearby devices

Same here... Same error in commandline, and blueman-applet is also throwing errors (e.g. "Protocol not supported" when scanning for services on an already known device, and doesn't allow to look for devices).

dbus-python is installed, one of the first things I checked. Any clues? Anyone?
