[Bluez-devel] Simple pairing script instead of bluez-gnome

[Bluez-devel] Simple pairing script instead of bluez-gnome

[John Frankish]

I have bluez-4.4 working on a minimal 2.6.26 system - rather than use 
bluez-gnome to pair, is there a simple script somewhere than would 
take a PIN and bluetooth address as inputs and pair using dbus?

Sounds like test/simple-agent is what you need (might have been src/ 
simple-agent in 4.4). If you run it with
./simple-agent hci0 <remote address>
it will use D-Bus to initiate pairing and ask you for the PIN  
interactively (on stdin). It should also be quite trivial to modify  
this script if you prefer to give the PIN from the command line  
directly. Btw, I'd recommend that you update to the latest bluez  
version (4.11) since we've fixed plenty of bugs since 4.4.

Thanks - I was hoping for something that would work with bash/sh - 
but this is a good start.
After installing python, I get:

$ simple-agent hci0 00:1E:45:8B:2A:33
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/local/bin/simple-agent", line 3, in <module>
     import gobject
ImportError: No module named gobject

I guess this means that either bluez-4.11 should be compiled against 
python, or (more likely) I need some kind of python glib module?

That means that you're missing the glib bindings for python.  
Additionally you'll also need the D-Bus python bindings to use the  
script.

Hi Johan,

The dbus-python bindings don't seem too big a deal, but as per google 
there seem to be plenty of issues with the python-glib bindings. Is 
there a particular site/tarball you could recommend that is known to 
work with the bluez scripts like simple-agent?

Thanks
John
