[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

Using the bluetooth-service and blueman, I can manage to connect to
bluetooth devices. However, the "Bluetooth" section in the GNOME
settings reports: "No Bluetooth Found", as can be seen in the attached
capture.

Thanks,

Mathieu

Took me some times to figure it out, but the attached patches do fix the
issue. In short, gnome-settings-daemon needs a RW access to
/dev/rfkill.

It installs an udev rule to add an uaccess tag to the /dev/rfkill
device. Then elogind takes care of modifying the file ACL accordingly.

Two things were broken:

1. The gnome-settings-daemon udev path was wrong.

2. The gnome service didn't registered the udev rules installed by the
gnome-settings-daemon.

I now have, as intended:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names

# owner: root
# group: root

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks,

Mathieu
