bluetooth, dbus and bluetooth headsets

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've been trying to get a bt headset to work again with bluez for some time now, so I'd appreciate any help available on this - about the last time it worked was circa bluez-4.17 - I used:

Dbus-1.2.1
Dbus-glib-0.76
Bluez-gnome-1.8
Alsa-1.0.17

If I use more recent versions of bluez - I've tried all the way to bluez-4.41 - I can get other bt devices to work as long as I use /etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf from circa bluez-4.17, but I cannot get a bt headset to work.

I saw in this list that a more recent version of dbus might help getting a bt headset to work again, so I tried:

Dbus-1.2.14
Dbus-glib-0.80

..but then bluez-gnome does not find any devices to pair with, even if "hcitool scan" does find available devices. "simple-agent" does not seem to work up to bluez-4.41, so I cannot try to pair with the bt headset by that method either.

1. Are there prescribed versions of dbus, dbus-glib, alsa, etc that are required in order for a bt headset to work?

2. Why do I need to use an old /etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf for bluetoothd to start?

3. Is "simple-agent" supposed to work (I've seen various posts about required patches for dbus, etc)?

Thanks, John
