[Bluez-users] Errors pairing with headset

[Paolo Casaschi <kazavsky67-news@yahoo.com>]

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:
