Hi, I'm attempting to pair my phone (HTC Wildfire S) with my laptop. It isn't going so well.
I'm using the GUI method of pairing. I click on the bluetooth icon on the gnome panel and select 'Setup new device' The program searches for and finds my phone. I then click continue. The program displays a pin number as does my phone (the pin matches) This is where i run into problems. No matter what happens the pairing fails due to timeout and i get a message saying it could be the wrong pin (but they matched).
I have tried the following
click 'matches' on the pc
click 'matches' first then 'pair' on the phone
click 'pair' on the phone then 'matches on the pc
click 'pair' on the phone
same result each time. I never really expected the ones where i only acknowledge on a single device to work but i tried everything else.
Has anyone any suggestions on how to go about resolving this issue?

Update:
I tried the command line and I get the following error when running the command "bluez-simple-agent"
Traceback (most recent call last):

Another Update: so installing blueman and pairing with that works flawlessly after which it can be accessed through the gnome bluetooth applet. Are there perhaps missing dependencies in the gnome applet?
