Re: [Bluez-users] Apple bluetooth keyboard fun...

[Patrick <patbert@patbert.com>]

Ah! Now I am getting somewhere...

In my log there were such obvious errors as....

Aug  8 13:38:53 Kawaii64 hcid[7695]: Bluetooth HCI daemon
Aug  8 13:38:53 Kawaii64 hcid[7695]: Can not open /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
Aug  8 13:38:53 Kawaii64 hcid[7695]: Config load failed
Aug  8 13:38:53 Kawaii64 hcid[7695]: Can't open PIN file 
/etc/bluetooth/pin. No such file or directory(2)

When bluez installed it made all those files in /usr/etc/bluetooth/ but 
I guess it wasn't looking there so I copied it all over to 
/etc/bluetooth and things are looking up...

So then I was getting things such as:

 > HCI Event: Link Key Request (0x17) plen 6
   E4 63 3A 95 0A 00
< HCI Command: Link Key Request Negative Reply (0x01|0x000c) plen 6
   E4 63 3A 95 0A 00

hidd said:

Can't create HID control channel: Invalid exchange

So I replaced /etc/bluetooth/pin and /usr/bin/bluepin with the echo 
"PIN:0000" and now it doesnt seem to complain in hcidump:

 > HCI Event: PIN Code Request (0x16) plen 6
   E4 63 3A 95 0A 00
< HCI Command: PIN Code Request Reply (0x01|0x000d) plen 23
   E4 63 3A 95 0A 00 04 30 30 30 30 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
   00 00 00
 > HCI Event: Command Complete (0x0e) plen 10
   01 0D 04 00 E4 63 3A 95 0A 00

But hidd says:

Can't create HID control channel: Permission denied

So close...
