hey dudes.
I fail (sort of) at pairing my pc with my phone via bluetooth.
(sony ericsson k810i, pc uses broadcom dongle)
I have a system where everything is up to date, bluez is installed etc.
the configs are all pretty much default.
I did need to enable HID2HCI_ENABLE="true" in /etc/conf.d/bluetooth otherwise the bluetoothd daemon would abort immediately after startup ( ? )
I can do `hcitool scan` and see my phone.
But to pair...
1) the bluez-simple-agent way: I start `sudo bluez-simple-agent`,it listens, and on the phone I search new devices. phone cannot find pc :(
2) the blueman way:
2a ) If I run as regular user, I get:
dieter@dieter-ws-a7n8x-arch ~ blueman-manager
Loading configuration plugins

org.bluez owner changed to :1.6

except dbus.DBusServiceUnknownError:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'DBusServiceUnknownError'
do i need to be in some kind of group or something? There was no post install message, nor info about this on the wiki page (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth)
2b) if I run blueman-manager as root I can pair (hooray).
But actually I don't want to run stuff as root, nor do I want to use the bloatware that is blueman-manager.
