I have been trying to connect my Nokia E65 phone to my Ubuntu 12.04 via wammu. I tried the option of "Automatically Search The Phone". But I get the error messages like this in the screen:
Wammu is now searching for phone:

Discovering Bluetooth devices using PyBluez
Could not access Bluetooth subsystem (error accessing bluetooth device)
All finished, found 0 phones
No phone has been found!
What does this mean? How to overcome this error?
Thanks in advance.
Best Answer
This means that your user don't have permissions to access to /dev (devices).
Try: sudo wammu
to gain permissions to access to devices
Another thing you can do is to put your user in bluetooth group system
