["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Burkhard Arenfeld, thank you for updating your BIOS. Could you please
confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu?
ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-
live/current/ . If the issue remains, please just make a comment to
this.

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is
already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one
would not be helpful.

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc7

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Ubuntu 12.04, i386, cannot use rfcomm as regular user. Permission
  denied.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After updating from 8.04 to 12.04 I cannot use rfcomm without sudo.

  I've already added the user  to group 'dialout' .

  Temporary I tried to change udev.rules (KERNEL=="rfcomm[0-9]*", GROUP="dialout", MODE="666")  but this doesn't
  solve the problem so I removed it again.

  Here the commands I used :

  burki@orion:/$ hcitool scan
  Scanning ...
   00:12:6F:08:98:FF	GEO LE-71 00001

  burki@orion:/$ rfcomm connect 1 00:12:6F:08:98:FF
  Can't open RFCOMM device: Permission denied

  burki@orion:/$ ls -l /dev/rfcomm1
  ls: cannot access /dev/rfcomm1: No such file or directory

  burki@orion:/$ groups
  burki adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape sudo audio dip video plugdev fuse scanner lpadmin netdev sambashare

  burki@orion:/$ sudo rfcomm connect 1 00:12:6F:08:98:FF
  Connected /dev/rfcomm1 to 00:12:6F:08:98:FF on channel 1
  Press CTRL-C for hangup

  In another terminal while connection is running ...

  burki@orion:/$ ls -l /dev/rfcomm1
  crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 216, 1 Jun 19 09:01 /dev/rfcomm1

  burki@orion:/$ UDEV_LOG=debug udevadm test $(udevadm info -q path -n rfcomm1)
  (I've stolen this command from another bug report #570692.  Output is very long. Please see attachment)

  WORKAROUND: sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/rfcomm
