Hello! I'm currently trying to upgrade bluez to the newest stable version (4.39-r2) but I got several issues. First of all, when running bluetooth initscript there are some errors appearing into syslog's messages: Sep 27 13:41:09 whitebox bluetoothd[3950]: Bluetooth daemon 4.39 Sep 27 13:41:09 whitebox bluetoothd[3950]: Starting SDP server Sep 27 13:41:09 whitebox bluetoothd[3950]: Starting experimental netlink support Sep 27 13:41:09 whitebox bluetoothd[3950]: Failed to find Bluetooth netlink family Sep 27 13:41:09 whitebox bluetoothd[3950]: Can't create GN bridge Sep 27 13:41:09 whitebox bluetoothd[3950]: HCI dev 0 registered Sep 27 13:41:09 whitebox bluetoothd[3950]: HCI dev 0 up Sep 27 13:41:09 whitebox bluetoothd[3950]: Starting security manager 0 Sep 27 13:41:09 whitebox bluetoothd[3950]: Adapter /org/bluez/3950/hci0 has been enabled I can't figure out what does that "Bluetooth netlink family" means. Maybe is something missing from my kernel's configuration? What about that 'GN bridge'. The real weird thing is that I have to restart the initscript two-three times before getting the working icon in the traybar (provided by gnome-bluetooth:2). Atm I can't use that helper to browse devices/connect to devices. hcitool {scan,dev} seems to work, though.

It's solved for me After this manipulations it works fine. I just add /etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf : <policy group="users"> <allow own="org.bluez"/> <allow send_destination="org.bluez"/> <allow send_interface="org.bluez.Agent"/> </policy>

Thanks!
You either have to add yourself to the plugdev group, or use consolekit. This is by design.
