I confirm that modifying /etc/dbus-1/system.conf to read:
<allow send_destination="*"/>
<allow receive_sender="*"/>
successfully works around the problem.

Comment 2 Jiri Moskovcak 2008-12-11 11:40:19 UTC
Hi, this setting is potentially dangerous, you should wait for an updated version of bluez, it's already fixed and will be available soon.

Comment 3 Pawel Salek 2008-12-11 12:35:18 UTC
I do not see updated version of bluez yet, not even in updates-testing. What am I supposed to do while I wait for it?

Comment 4 Jiri Moskovcak 2008-12-11 13:45:46 UTC
You can use this setting until the update is released as this is the setting used before, but don't forget to change it back once you do the update.

Comment 5 Vlad 2008-12-11 19:18:13 UTC
I've did update from testing and bluetooth works well! Thank you!

Comment 6 Matt Castelein 2008-12-13 01:41:23 UTC
I've done "yum --enablerepo=updates-testing" and tried to update these bluetooth packages but yum cannot locate them.

The bluez update allowed me to go further but there appears to be some race or similar problem in the pairing process (Try "Browse device.." with an unpaired one). I tested two phones. The problem disappeared at the second attempt with Sony-Ericsson K610i and I eventually could browse its storage. I have attempted also browsing Nokia N95 8GB but I could not complete the pairing process, IIRC.

Comment 9 Christopher J. Buckley 2008-12-17 11:26:11 UTC
Matt,

Have you performed a:
"yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update"

Yes, sorry, forgot to update this.. I guess I needed to wait for packages to propagate.   I have the new bluetooth packages and things are working well.

This should have been fixed by now. Reopen if you can reproduce with the latest updates for F10.
