(Get the code!)
Hello Christopher,
I updated my mainboard bios to the latest version as you advised me to do, but nothing changed.
Here the output of the command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
4105
07/01/2013
(At first I reset the suid bit of /usr/bin/rfcomm I made earlier by reinstalling the bluez package)
Then I made the following tests:
burki@orion:~$ hcitool scan
Scanning ...
00:12:6F:08:98:FF GEO LE-71 00001
burki@orion:~$ rfcomm connect 1 00:12:6F:08:98:FF
<<< First time the pairing pin is requested by the bluetooth applet here >>>
Can't open RFCOMM device: Permission denied
burki@orion:~$ sudo rfcomm connect 1 00:12:6F:08:98:FF
[sudo] password for burki:
Connected /dev/rfcomm1 to 00:12:6F:08:98:FF on channel 1
Press CTRL-C for hangup
This is the same behaviour like before ...
(Note: I use the gnome desktop and not unity)
