[Bug 1230275] Re: Bluetooth cannot be switched on/off on Nexus 4 (rfkill issues)

 

i made /dev/rfkill owned by the android_input group several weeks ago (when you pinged me on IRC about it) 
the group has rw permissions and is teh default group of the phablet user, as long as your process is started by this user it should work. i can not really make it world writable (0666)

Title:
  Bluetooth cannot be switched on/off on Nexus 4 (rfkill issues)

Status in Bluetooth Menu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When using the latest indicator-bluetooth on the Nexus 4 (mako) and
  Ubuntu Touch switching bluetooth on/off is impossible, as the state
  never changes. Same when doing it from the ubuntu-system-settings.

  The unity8.log upstart log has this in it:
  Can't open /dev/rfkill  for use as a killswitch backend: Permission denied 
  Couldn't write rfkill event: Bad file descriptor 
  Can't open /dev/rfkill  for use as a killswitch backend: Permission denied
