[Bug 1177424] [NEW] [Touch] no permission to access bluez on dbus

[David Henningsson]

Public bug reported:

I'm trying today's touch preview image, trying to get bluetooth headsets
working. After installing the package (see bug 1177421 ), PulseAudio
gets the following error message:

bluetooth-util.c: org.bluez.Manager.GetProperties() failed:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Rejected send message, 2
matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.3" (uid=32011 pid=260
comm="pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog ")
interface="org.bluez.Manager" member="GetProperties" error
name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="org.bluez" (uid=0 pid=99
comm="/usr/sbin/bluetoothd ")

...it looks like there is some permission error as pulseaudio is not
allowed to talk to the bluez daemon over D-Bus. As a result, pulseaudio
does not detect the headset.
