Bug Description
Binary package hint: udev
Cannot open /dev/rfcomm4 new install Ubuntu 10.04. This worked fine in Ubuntu 9.10.
I expected to see:
Connected /dev/rfcomm4 to 00:1C:88:30:11:45 on channel 1
Press CTRL-C for hangup
Instead I have recieved:
Can't open RFCOMM device: Permission denied
Same issue happened in Jaunty (https:/
KERNEL=
can this please be fixed in the Kernel, it affects many serial devices. In this case for me a bluetooth GPS.
Thank you for your consideration and time,
Dragonneus

This shows that you do not *have* an rfcomm4 - try again with 0-3?

Does the same thing with rfcomm1, the device isnt created in linux
until its utilized. When its turned on and command ran it will be
crated in /dev, much like serial/usb devices such as the usb to serial
adapter.
Seems like the same issue as for Jaunty. This worked fine in 9.10

It would be helpful you plugged the rfcomm device in and ran the command
once the /dev node has been created.

also this is a bluetooth GPS device, it is connected once the rfcomm
connect 4 command is run. it is already setup in the bluetooth
manager, /etc/bluetooth/
rfcomm4 {
bind yes;
device 00:1C:88:30:11:45 ;
channel 1;
comment "Serial Port";
}
To make the connection I am forced to use SUDO which causes issues
trying to use any program with the GPS.
In Ubuntu 9.10 I didnt need to use sudo with this and programs such as
xgps worked fine.

It's part of the "coreutils" package, which is an "Essential" package in
Ubuntu.

I think it's a Broadcom chip connected via USB (it's inside the netbook, a Thinkpad Ideapad S12). sudo seems to provide some relief to the problem but it's still broken.

We just had a new kernel for Lucid released last week (2.6.32-24.39), but it appears no fix was included. Particularly when Ubuntu has been trying so hard to reach the netbook market (which is what I'm experiencing the problem on) and it worked in 9.10, this is a real frustration.
I would be very happy with a workaround, kernel patch, anything to get this sorted. Haven't tried running 10.10 yet to see if that helps, but might give it a shot if I have to.
Tom Wood (woodts) wrote : | #24 |
A workaround is to run "rfcomm connect X" as root, where X is the desired channel (4 in your case, 0 for me, for examples). /dev/rfcommX will then be created, to which you can then connect.
Martin (demlan) wrote : | #25 |
The work around suggest by Tom does not work for me,
user@name:~$ sudo rfcomm connect 5
Can't find a config entry for rfcomm5
Also the workaround suggest for jaunty (adding a udev rule) where a similar bug existed does not help.
A sudo on the regular rfcomm command solves the problem,
sudo rfcomm -i hci0 connect /dev/rfcomm5 00....
Connected /dev/rfcomm5 to 00... on channel 1
but this means giving root rigths to all programms connecting to rfcomm5 which I definitely do not want to do.
Isn't there any workaround to get a working connection accessible in user space ?

Little update:
Tom's suggestion works when the connection is defined in /etc/bluetooth/

One solution is to change the mod of /usr/bin/rfcomm. I.e $sudo chmod 6755 /usr/bin/rfcomm
This makes the rfcomm device a security risk, but it works as a work-around.

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:/

dragonneus, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://
If it remains an issue, could you run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-
apport-collect -p linux <replace-
Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/
If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-
If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-
If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-
Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance.
