[Bluez-devel] Some bluez-gnome 1.2 bugs

Hi all,

I just started to play recently with bluez 4.x.

I found at least two very annoying bugs in the bluez-gnome-1.2 wizard:
   - On my debian testing system,  the wizard does not allow me to enter
the pin code. The pin code just gets displayed a fraction of second an
then disappears. As a consequence the default 123456 pin code gets used
and pairing fails.
   - If i try to go back to the first wizard page where my bluetooth
device is displayed, it is already selected. I have no way to go to the
next page : the next button stays grey whatever i do. (screenshot attached).

Cheers,

Fabien

I am working on improving the PIN handling way, but at the same time I
have to make sure that it works with Simple Pairing and in the most
simple way. It is not that easy.

Also for some devices the PIN code needs to be random instead of 123456.

Hold shift while selecting to unselect and then select again. I know
that this is broken.

Regards

Marcel

I just retried with the latest 1.3 release. This time i am able to pair 
my headset. :-)

it is not perfect yet. Just a quick hack to pick 0000 as PIN code for
headset devices.

It was actually pretty simple to fix.
