For all who discovering problems on getting their bluetooth stuff working on the recently released Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn). There is bug in
1 | /etc/acpi/ibm-wireless.sh |
which prevents the activation of the builtin bluetooth device. A quick workaround is to change the script as follows
#!/bin/sh
# Find and toggle wireless of bluetooth devices on ThinkPads
. /usr/share/acpi-support/state-funcs
BLUETOOTH=/proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
if [ -r $BLUETOOTH ]; then
grep -q disabled $BLUETOOTH
bluetooth_state=$?
fi
if [ -w $BLUETOOTH ]; then
if [ "$bluetooth_state" = 0 ]; then
echo enable > $BLUETOOTH;
else
echo disable > $BLUETOOTH;
fi
fi
The bug lies somewhere in the determination of the current state of wireless adapter, because that script should normally determine, whether the wireless and/or the bluetooth adapter are already turned on. The problem is the wireless adapter, in this case an atheros based one, seems to return an unknown status. That bug is known on launchpad. ;)
My T41 did the job with
echo “enable” > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
lights and every thing!

I also have a T41, latest feisty, all vanilla (no custom drivers), all latest updates. On attempted resume (from suspend), I get a black screen. There is disk activity, etc., but nothing to do except a hard power-down/restart.
Any insights you might be able to shed would be HUGELY appreciated! I’m a quasi-newb, fairly able but still learning a lot.
TIA,

Victor, I didn’t had any problems on suspend / resuming my T41. I tested it with and without compiz enabled. You may have a look at /var/log/messages for related kernel messages.
