[Bluez-users] Pairing in FC4 without gnome or kde?

[David Wuertele <dave-gnus@bfnet.com>]

I've done a complete install of FC4 but I do not run Gnome or KDE
(they just drive me nuts).  Now I'm trying to pair my headset.  I
think there is this gnome-bluetooth-manager thingie that is supposed
to prompt you for your pin when it gets a message on the dbus, but it
isn't working for me, and I suspect it is because I'm not running
Gnome or KDE.

So I tried writing my own pin script:

  #!/bin/sh
  # leave a trace so I know what's going on
  echo $@ >> /tmp/zeropin.log
  # return the pin for my headset
  echo "PIN:0000"

I changed my /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf to comment out the dbus system
and use my script, like this:

	# D-Bus PIN helper
	#dbus_pin_helper;
	pin_helper /usr/local/bin/zeropin;

I then did "service stop bluetooth" and "service start bluetooth", and
then put my headset in pairing mode.  But nothing happens.

Can someone give this poor non-gnome non-kde user a clue?

FWIW, here's what bluez I have installed:

  # rpm -qa | grep -i bluez
  bluez-libs-devel-2.15-1
  bluez-libs-2.15-1
  bluez-utils-2.15-7
  bluez-pin-0.24-2
  bluez-utils-cups-2.15-7
  bluez-hcidump-1.18-1
