Bug Description
I just installed gnome-bluetooth (with it's depencies) on my fresh installation of edgy. Started the hcid:
# /etc/init.
and let my phone (a Samsung SGH Z-400) search for bluetooth devices, but nothing shows up. Eventually I found out why:
# hciconfig
hci0: Type: USB
BD Address: 00:0B:0D:33:C3:19 ACL MTU: 120:20 SCO MTU: 64:8
UP RUNNING PSCAN
RX bytes:12425980 acl:47505 sco:0 events:13371 errors:0
TX bytes:197812 acl:12973 sco:0 commands:240 errors:0
The iscan (whatever that means exactly...) thingie is not running. So I turn it on manually:
# hciconfig hci0 piscan
And now it works, the phone finds the computer. I suppose this should be the default behavior?
My hcid.conf, comments removed:
options {
autoinit yes;
security auto;
pairing multi;
passkey "xxxx";
}
device {
name "%h-%d";
class 0x3e0100;
iscan enable; pscan enable; # does not seem to work?
lm accept;
lp rswitch,
}
It's exactly like it was shipped with the package, except for the passkey.
This is duplicate of bug 59222 which was fixed yesterday.
Please update to latest version of bluez-utils. Also install bluez-passkey-gnome package and restart your session.
