I have an update on this bug.
Yesterday I tried to manually grant write access to the rfkill device
and activate Bluetooth via gnome-bluetooth:
$ sudo chmod 0777 /dev/rfkill
$ bluetooth-properties
** Message: adding killswitch idx 0 state 1
** Message: killswitch 0 is 1
** Message: killswitches state 1
** Message: RFKILL event: idx 0 type 2 op 2 soft 0 hard 0
Here the bluetooth-properties window pops up and presents me a big
button that reads "Activate Bluetooth". I click this button and it
grays out, though bluetooth is still disabled. The following appears
on the console again:
** Message: killswitch 0 is 1
** Message: killswitches state 1
Looks like it's a regression in bluez and not gnome-bluetooth's fault.
What do you think?
Fabian
