Strange thing is, I never had problems starting hcid manually, just the init-script won't work when bluetooth is disallowed by selinux. OK, let's see... Bug 1: "/etc/init.d/bluetooth start" reports success, though "hcid" fails to start. Easy solution: verify that hcid started. Better solution: verify whether selinux disallows bluethooth and have the init-script report "failed to start due to selinux". Bug 2: why can I start "hcid" manually, though bluetooth is disallowed by selinux? I suppose selinux should either allow both the init-script and manual invocation or deny both the init-script and manual invocation. The current situation is certainly annoying. > > The pin ID stuff is probably related to requiring a pin helper. > I uncommented /usr/bin/bluepin in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf, > and the error went away. That one helped here to. I thought that would not be nessessary since a different pin-helper was configured. It should be verified with kde, but I consider this to be bug 3. > There is still something wrong - when I rfcomm to my phone I > get a 'do you want this connection' which instantly disappears, > and the connection is broken. But I can obex push from either end. Yes, that works without any problems, as long as hcid has been started. > > The gnome-bluetooth-file-sharing works very nicely.

I somehow expected more than a list of devices. Not sure whether gnome-bluetooth-manager has any right to exist without installing gnome-phone-manager as well. Oh, I forgot, you need it in order to receive files. Well, I'll start compiling gnome-phone-manger now. ;-) I'll report those bugs later. Not sure where to file the bluetooth-selinux-bug though.
