Workstation with multiple user accounts and working bluetooth, through Gnome, in Fedora 29. After upgrade to Fedora 30 bluetooth doesn't work for all-but-one users on console. The functioning user has the lowest UID, I haven't confirmed this is the reason it works. For all other users bluetooth is show in Gnome settings as off. The toggle on/off has no effect -- it doesn't stick and the device list doesn't show. In a terminal, hciconfig and lsusb show the bluetooth device, however bluetoothctl times out/cannot access the dongle. This seems to have been caused by the F30 switch from dbus-daemon to dbus-broker I've tried two fixes/workaround, both solve the problem: 1) Switch back to dbus-daemon from dbus-broker, i.e. # systemctl disable dbus-broker.service # systemctl --global disable dbus-broker.service # systemctl enable dbus-daemon.service # systemctl --global enable dbus-daemon.service After a reboot bluetooth is functional again. OR 2) Stick with dbus-broker but edit /etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf according to this patch: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/commit/?id=3ef0ce954b66fdf45538a6cdc629f3dac6642832 This also fixes the problem. bluez git also seems to have switched to this revised configuration upstream, so presumably this will be fixed the next bluez update. In the meantime could Fedora carry this patch?
