Permission denied. Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed 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.
