[Bluez-users] Errors pairing with headset

[Bluez-users] Errors pairing with headset

[Paolo Casaschi]

Trying to connect to my bluetooth headset on a new Ubuntu Edgy install (have'nt touched any of the /etc/bluetooth/*.conf files)





I looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup for guidance





When my headseat is in pairing mode, if try  




    sudo hidd --search





I get totally no output, not even the "No devices in range or visible" that I get when the headset is off.





But if I try 


      sudo hcitool scan


then my headest is recognized


      aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff       BT Headset-12





If I try then


      sudo hidd --connect  aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff


I get the error message

    Can't get device information: Permission denied



Tried also
    sudo hcitool cc aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
but got error message
    Can't create connection: Input/output error


Output of sudo hciconfig -a is:

I've never bothered with the hidd stuff. I do get the same "No devices..."
message for hidd --search with my headset turned on even though it works
just fine.

I've just install the bluez-btsco package (sudo aptitude install
bluez-btsco). Try running
btsco -v aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
and  see whether it can connect to your headset. The first time you do this,
you should be prompted for the pin.

Good luck

[Paolo Casaschi]

Thanks for the hint.

Tried 
    sudo btsco -v aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff

At first, got this reply:
    Error: hwdep next device (hw:0): Operation not permitted
    Error: control open (hw:1): No such device
    Error: Can't find device. Bail

Then, googling a bit, I thught I should load the snd_bt_sco module, after i did that, the btsco -v command above gives me back

    btsco v0.42
    Device is 1:0
    Error: Failed to connect to SDP server: Permission denied
    Assuming channel 2

    Voice setting: 0x0060
    Can't connect RFCOMM channel: Permission denied

What do I miss?

Ah, sorry, forgot about that. Just add it snd_bt_sco to your /etc/modules to
make it load at boot time.

after i did that, the btsco -v command above gives me back

I'd say that's where you should get asked for the pin. I'm using KDE
together with kbluetoothd. There's also a process 'sdpd' running which
handles service discovery (as far as I know). I can't remember having
configured those manually. "/etc/init.d/bluez-utils start" gets called at
startup. Also check with the documentation of your headset on how to
initiate pairing. More doesn't come to my mind for the moment.

Arthur

For some reason, edgy has an hcid.conf that requires bluez-passkey-gnome
in order to work but they don't install the package by default. Check
your setup.

I wrote in some detail how to get audio working without the kernel
module. I linked it from the page you referenced.

Thanks!
bluez-passkey-gnome was the missing item!
Now I can use the bluetooth headset with Skype!

Thanks.
