Unable to get on D-Bus: bluez 4.77

Unable to get on D-Bus: bluez 4.77

[Puneet Pant]

Hello,

I have compiled Bluez 4.77. But I'm getting the following error when
trying to start Bluetooth Daemon:

root@puneet-VirtualBox:/home/puneet/packages/bluez-4.77/src#
dbus-daemon --system
root@puneet-VirtualBox:/home/puneet/packages/bluez-4.77/src# ./bluetoothd -nd

bluetoothd[11819]: src/main.c:parse_config() Key file does not have
key 'DeviceID'
bluetoothd[11819]: Unable to get on D-Bus


I've built kernel version 2.6.36-rc7 with LE patches from Ville Tervo
and am running it on an Ubuntu 10.10 distribution. Installed Dbus
Library version is 1.2.24 (I have also tried with 1.4.0, but get same
error)

I have tried to google around on this but couldn't find anything
relevant that could fix this issue.
Can someone kindly suggest if this is related to my linux pc
configuration or more of Bluez issue?

Thanks in advance.

One of the reasons could be that you already have the bluetoothd daemon
running.

I did "ps -e | grep bluetooth" and found no bluetoothd running.
Could this be related to D-Bus library version incompatibility with ubuntu.
As I see, Ubuntu 10.10 comes with Dbus 1.4.0 installed, but when I run
./configure for bluez, it does not detect the installed D-Bus. I had
to manually download and install D-Bus 1.2.24 for bluez configure to
detect and compile?

I am able to resolve the issue by installing appropriate D-Bus library
headers through Synaptic Manager on Ubuntu 10.10 and rebuilding Bluez
code.
Installing Dbus separately seems to have caused the problem.
After building the code, bluetooth daemon is working fine.
