Can't run blueman as a user, need to run it as root

Coume · 2009-04-19 10:24:34

Hello,

I did have a look at the thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65716 but all the solution on this thread did not solve my problem...

Here is the output:

I added my user to the group dbus and uucp but it does not help.

Any idea will be more than welcome

Thanks
Ludo

Hello Walmis,

It is the link that I posted on the second line of my first post.

I tried all the solutions available in the mentioned thread with no luck which is why I created a new thread

Thanks

Start it with ck-launch-session, like this:

ck-launch-session blueman-manager

It worked for me.

Worked for me too NeoXP! Thanks :-) For others with the same problem:

1. add user to the group dbus and uucp
2. ck-launch-session blueman-manager
