I am running bluez under Fedora-6
(I have installed all bluez* packages)
and want to link to my phone (a Sony-Ericsson T630)
using gnokii.
Unfortunately, I seem to be unable to set a bluetooth pin
on my computer.
When I try to connect (with "gnokii --identify")
the phone asks for the pin,
but whatever I enter on the phone
I am told there is a Passkey mismatch.
I notice that /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
came without any pin_helper entry.
I tried the following three:
# PIN helper
# pin_helper dbus_pin_helper;
# pin_helper /usr/bin/bluez-pin;
pin_helper /etc/bluetooth/feed-pin.sh
In the last case feed-pin.sh reads
#!/bin/sh
echo "PIN:0000"
and has mode 755.
I ran "sudo service bluetooth restart" after each change.
I also ran "sudo bluez-pin --dbus &".
As far as I can see a window should came up on my laptop
asking me to enter a pin, but nothing came up.
More recently, I downloaded and installed
kdebluetooth and kdebluetooth-devel from the redhat-kde site.
Unfortunately I could not find any documentation for this,
and no commands I gave seemed to have any useful effect.
Incidentally, when I ran "rpm -ql kdebluetooth"
I notices a large number of *.desktop files.
Am I right in thinking that these are potentially at least
entries in the Fedora menu?
If so, how does one add them to the menu?
Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.
