I'm seeing this error in 10.10 (my user is in the dialout group, /dev/rfcommX is being set up correctly as root:dialout). It turns out that the problem is intermittent however.
I connect my device by using Bluetooth Manager (right click, select Connect To: Serial Service). The port gets set up, but I can't access it. I'm testing with: echo 1 > /dev/rfcomm0 When it fails, I get: bash: /dev/rfcomm0: Device or resource busy If I toggle the connection (right click, disconnect, then reconnect) a couple of times, I'm able to access the port. This is happening under VMware Fusion using the Mac's built-in Bluetooth module and the btusb-dkms workaround described at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro6-2/Maverick#Package%20Support%20for%20Intel%20Macs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/570692 Title: Ubuntu 10.04 Can't open RFCOMM device: Permission denied -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
