LOCK file error

[Kmsgli]

Using Xubuntu 16.04 and default-jre from the repositories.

I can connect to my blue tooth adapter if i run the program as Sudo otherwise no matter what permissions or groups i add my regular user to i can not get TS to detect my ecu via bluetooth

this is what i get when i run as regular user:

RXTX fhs_lock() Error: creating lock file: /var/lock/LCK..OM1: File exists

I have tried chmod 777 to /var/lock as well as /run/lock with no luck

I have seen this issue for other people as well but never saw a fix. Do i just have to always run TS as using SUDO?

Sounds like a typical permissions issue.

What groups have you added your user to?
uucp, lock, dialout


Also worth noting, with the beta TS you should need to add the user to a group.

output of groups of username
adm uucp dialout cdrom sudo dip plugdev netdev lpadmin sambashare

i though the same thing but rfcomm is part of the dialout group so i don't believe that is the issues, i think the issue lies in creating the lock file in /var/lock but no matter what i do i cant control it outside of invoking sudo.
