[ConsoleKit] Authenticating for org.bluez/org.blueman as a normal user

[Fabrice DELENTE]

Hello.

I'm trying to get blueman to work on my personal laptop, on which I am
the only user.

I can start and use blueman-applet as root.

However, as a user, I get this kind of error:

set_nap (/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/blueman/plugins/applet/Networking.py:80)
set nap False 
ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on org.bluez:/: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.94" (uid=1000 pid=5961 comm="/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/blueman-applet ") interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable" member="Introspect" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="org.bluez" (uid=0 pid=1841 comm="/usr/sbin/bluetoothd --udev ")

or

Somebody on the D-Bus mailing list told me that it was fixable but
configuring the consolekit correctly.

I read and tried to understand the manpages of policykit and console
kit, but it is very confusing and hard to understand for me.

I have come to create the file
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/bluezauthority.conf with,
inside,

[Permissions for fab on Bluez]
Identity=unix-user:fab
Action=org.blueman;org.blueman.*
ResultAny=no
ResultInactive=no
ResultActive=yes

but it hasn't solved the problem.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!
