Subject: Re: [dyne:bolic] d-bus problem: connecting bluetooth

hello again!

I don't know if I am making this harder that it is, or what? but I can't get my bluetooth to work, still, I think there is something with the d-bus. I have spent hours seaching for help, but no answer, (except to try commands that the dyne system does not have)

Does anyone have any answer, how to fix the problem?

any input is appreciated

thanks,
Mikael
