Running bluetoothd from the build directory I noticed that as soon as a bluetooth audio device was connect, bluetoothd would be disconnected from dbus and print Disconnected from D-Bus. Exiting. Luiz Augusto von Dentz suggested trying with SELinux disabled and that solved the problem. This patch just documents how to disable SELinux before running bluetoothd from the build directory. I would love to say more about why that is needed, but could not find anything on the audit log. --- HACKING | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/HACKING b/HACKING index e10986fcb..29b136b34 100644 --- a/HACKING +++ b/HACKING @@ -76,6 +76,9 @@ automatically includes this option.
