Hi
The hidd --search fix do NOT work (though it did in Intrepid).
Here is my setup:
devices:
- apple aluminium keyboard
- logitech Bluetooth Travel Mouse
usb bluetooth dongle:
- Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0db0:6970 Micro Star International Bluetooth adapter
I'm running a fresh insall of Jaunty kubuntu. The same hardware was
working with Intrepid (with the hidd --search trick)
The problem(s):
- Pairing the mouse with the kbluetooth applet works great (it reconnects
automatically etc...)
- The Keyboard pairing works (but is odd) ... I use the GUI, then I must FIRST
enter some code on the keyboard +hit enter and ONLY THEN, the password windows
opens in KDE and let me confirmed what I typed... Pairing works... but if i
disconnect the keyboard, then it won't reconnect and I must pair again !
the hidd -- search trick did not work and using bluez-compat seems not
appropriate as it was already deprecated in Intrepid (but at least it
worked) !
The question(s)
- Can anyone indicate the command line to pair a device ? I was not able to
pair even my mouse with the command line and I must use the GUI because
"hcitool auth" asks for a password but that was not required with the GUI ???
- How can I force a device to be trusted from the command line? Once the keyb
is connected I would like to make sure that the auth process will not be called
again because I trust it and because auth just won't behave so the less I see
it the better !
I don't know if it helps bu I noticed that the keyboard is MASTER and
the mouse is only SLAVE ??? don't know what difference it makes (below
00:1F:5B:FA:23:B7 is the keyb)
r...@winny:/etc/bluetooth# hcitool con
Connections:
> ACL 00:07:61:81:25:44 handle 44 state 1 lm SLAVE
< ACL 00:1F:5B:FA:23:B7 handle 41 state 1 lm MASTER AUTH ENCRYPT
r...@winny:/etc/bluetooth# hcitool name 00:1F:5B:FA:23:B7
Apple Wireless Keyboard
Thanx for your help and comments... again, the very same setup used to work in
Intrepid and I don't see any argument to avoid considering this BUG as a
regression ! (sorry but it must be said)
And bluetooth is not some dark strange protocol out of nowhere, so supporting
it would be nice too :o) ! its been broken (bluez-compat) for a year in ubuntu !
