Problem with bluedevil KDE4

I recently bought a usb bluetooth dongle. lsusb tells me this about the device:

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

The problem is that the device works randomly. I have dbus BEFORE the bluetooth daemon and bluedevil starts at the beggining.

When the dongle doesn't work i try to put it down and up again, and this is the output i get:

[root@Xenogears user]# hciconfig hci0 down
[root@Xenogears user]# hciconfig hci0 up
Can't init device hci0: Connection timed out (110)
[root@Xenogears user]

Or when i close bluedevil and i start it again i get this:

[root@Xenogears user]# bluedevil-monolithic 
bluedevilmonolithic(3349): KUniqueApplication: Cannot find the D-Bus session server:  "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." 

bluedevilmonolithic(3348): KUniqueApplication: Pipe closed unexpectedly. 

What does this mean? What is the correct way to use the bluetooth?. Thanks.

Re: Problem with bluedevil KDE4

I don't use bluedevil but kbluetooth which works fine. How do you start KDE?

Re: Problem with bluedevil KDE4

i installed kbluetooth once but it crashes randomly. I don't know what was the problem.
For example, when i change the name of the device, crash! when i scan for devices, crash!

I start KDE with the daemon method, putting kdm on the daemons array.

Thanks a lot for the reply.

Re: Problem with bluedevil KDE4

If dbus (and hal) are properly running I don't see a reason why it doesn't work. Maybe some dbus permissions or whatever but I don't have a clue.

Re: Problem with bluedevil KDE4

Re: Problem with bluedevil KDE4

Was this ever resolved? I have the same issue.
EDIT: I have the exact same Bluetooth dongle according to lsusb, btw.

Re: Problem with bluedevil KDE4

I think is a problem with kernel 2.39 and some bluetooth dispositives. Using kernel-lts, bluedevil works fine with my bluetooth devices.
