Here is some more information about what's going on with me Gutsy on a Dell630 with built in bluetooth. Hciconfig brings up hci0 with my BT address. But hcitool scan brings up nothing

Permission denied(13) hcid[7798]: Got NameOwnerChanged signal for :1.3 which has no listeners[/CODE] Can someone help me make sense of these errors and how I can explore them/ fix them? Are all these permission denied warnings coming up because I am not executing the command as root user? I tried the command as root user, but it still wouldn't work. When I normally type hcid -n, it tells me the following: [CODE]Jul 28 12:32:11 ubuntu1 hcid[9176]: Bluetooth HCI daemon Jul 28 12:32:11 ubuntu1 hcid[9176]: Could not become the primary owner of org.bluez Jul 28 12:32:11 ubuntu1 hcid[9176]: Unable to get on D-Bus[/CODE] What does is mean to not be able to become the primary owner of an object path? How can I check why this is happening? I am also suspecting that the hcid and DBUS session bus are not listening in on the same socket. [CODE]$ dbus-launch DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-KPh3xmCqvf,guid=99a32f2da779f2875fca52004899685b DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID=7442[/CODE] But in (from /etc/dbus-1/session.conf), session dbus listens to [CODE]<listen>unix:tmpdir=/tmp</listen>[/CODE] While Bluetooth (from /var/run/dbus/bluetoothd_address) listens to [CODE]unix:abstract=/var/run/dbus-YTFIvIHHn3,guid=7e076046a505b17fa2548b004899667e[/CODE] And (from /etc/dbus-1/system.conf) the System DBUS listens in on: [CODE]<listen>unix:path=/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket</listen>[/CODE] These directories are different, but session dbus which is the one i'm probably interacting with is listening to a different directory all together... should i hardcode this directory setting to change it to /var/run/dbus? I've also modified the system.con and session.conf to include system- local.conf that allows user="root" and all active users to own "org.bluez" but to still no avail.
