[Bluez-users] bluez-utils 3.36: Unable to get on D-Bus

[Bluez-users] bluez-utils 3.36: Unable to get on D-Bus

[Voni Hakau]

Hi all,

I get the following error:

# hcid -n -s -d
hcid[467]: Bluetooth HCI daemon
hcid[467]: Enabling debug information
hcid[467]: Unable to get on D-Bus

Can someone please help me how to debug this ?

I use bluez-utils 3.36 with the newest d-bus.

I got d-bus up and running (dbus-daemon --system is running, and I the
UNIX domain socket file is created).

Any ideas ?

Thank you
Voni

I have also seen this since 3.35, and suspect that somehow the name 
org.bluez is not being released when shutting down the previous version. 
This does not make much sense though, sinee when the hcid shuts down or 
dies, the name should be released as a basic function of DBus.

When I have seen this recently, I just reboot...all my years working 
with Micro$oft...

Try starting hcid as root. Also check if another instance of "hcid" is
already running when u issue this command??



HTH,

Another common cause of this error is that the user hasn't installed  
the D-Bus policy configuration for BlueZ into /etc/dbus-1/system.d  
(the hcid/bluetooth.conf file).

YES ! that was it. more or less. Actually I did have those files in
/etc/dbus-1/system.d, but I found out that my dbus used
/usr/etc/dbus-1/system.d for some reason (I cross compiled it with
--prefix=/usr). So I copied the files over there and voila it works. I
have no clue why it chose to work with /usr/etc instead of /etc
though.

Thank you all for the help!
