John, > Thanks - ./simple-agent hci0 <remote address> does indeed work and the terminal window feedback (as opposed to bluez-gnome) also enabled me to find that the reason I could not pair using the more recent /etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf was that you need to be root to do so, which wasn't the case circa bluez-4.17 if bluez-gnome is silently failing or issuing an error that doesn't help, it would help if you make sure there's a ticket. It looks like the list to check is http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?query=product%3Agnome-bluetooth+ -- Brad Midgley -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
