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.
