missing max_match_rules_per_connection

[Hadmut Danisch]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to debug why my Bluetooth Barcode scanner (emulating a keyboard) with a USB bluetooth dongle does not work anymore with my 18.04, can't connect it anoymore (it used to work at lease occasionally months ago.) It pairs, but can't be connected as a HID.

One of the problems was that error message in /var/log/syslog:

Connection ":1.182" is not allowed to add more match rules (increase limits in configuration file if required; max_match_rules_per_connection=2048)

After adding

  <limit name="max_replies_per_connection">1024</limit>
  <limit name="max_match_rules_per_connection">2048</limit>

to the busconfig struct in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf

at least this error message vanished (while others persist, still does not work).

However, this should be in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf as delivered from the package and not require the user to debug and change.

regards
