[SOLVED] bluetooth problem - bluez-simple-agent exception

Hi

I am trying to pair to a bluetooth headset. I think I'm almost there, but at the last step I get an exception.
This is what i did so far:

1) launch dbus

rc.d start dbus

2) launch bluetooth

rc.d start bluetooth

3) check if my device is UP

# hciconfig
hci0:	Type: BR/EDR  Bus: USB
	BD Address: 58:B0:35:63:4A:9F  ACL MTU: 1021:8  SCO MTU: 64:1
	UP RUNNING PSCAN 
	RX bytes:2095 acl:0 sco:0 events:59 errors:0
	TX bytes:730 acl:0 sco:0 commands:53 errors:0

4) scan for the headset (which is discouverable)

# hcitool scan
	Scanning ...
	00:23:78:5C:00:A8	Bluetooth headset

5) try to pair (FAILS)

# bluez-simple-agent 00:23:78:5C:00:A8
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/bluez-simple-agent", line 102, in <module>
    path = manager.FindAdapter(args[0])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 70, in __call__
    return self._proxy_method(*args, **keywords)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 145, in __call__
    **keywords)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 651, in call_blocking
    message, timeout)
dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.bluez.Error.NoSuchAdapter: No such adapter

I searched in the forums but could not find a solution. Has anyone an idea?

Thanks in advance,
Keen

Re: [SOLVED] bluetooth problem - bluez-simple-agent exception

# bluez-simple-agent 00:23:78:5C:00:A8

I got the same error when I just tried that myself... but if I add the bluetooth adapter parameter it goes further:

# bluez-simple-agent hci0 00:23:78:5C:00:A8

Because my headphones were already paired at the time, I think that's why I then got a "Creating device failed: org.bluez.Error.AlreadyExists: Already Exists"... but it may work for your unpaired device.
