Reply-To: jmcdougald@kirkiss.ky, BlueZ users List-Id: BlueZ users List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: bluez-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net Errors-To: bluez-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net I have the same problem. It appears that the latest version of hcid no longer recognizes the pin_helper definition inside the hcid.conf file. As I am also running Debian (unstable) I hoped that the bluez-pin package would be "linked" to the hcitool cc xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx application and would pop up a window allowing me to enter a password during the pairing phase. However, there is a dependancy problem and the bluez-pin package cannot be installed. I crammed it in (using dpkg -i --force-all) and the bluez-pin package installed and the hcid application showed that a pin application was registered, but, when I tried to pair I was never presented with a dialog box requesting a pin and the pairing failed. I should mention that this logitech headset (HS04 V01) pairs with this notebook when I boot into windowsXP so there is no hardware problem. I am hoping that I am just an "apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade" away from a working bluetooth headset }:-) as the "break" with the pin_helper option in hcid.conf must have broken a lot of working bluetooth configurations.
