[Help] Bluetooth

Hi there

I tried the last few hours to make a pair out of my pc and my mobile via bluetooth. I installed bluez-libs and utils and did hcitool scan. my mobile was found, so i tried hcitool cc address, but nothing happened. I also tried to make a PIN entry field pop up, as shown in many how-tos across the net, but none helped. Can anyone help me setting up bluetooth? here is my hcid.conf

# HCI daemon configuration file.
#

# HCId options
options {
        # Automatically initialize new devices
        autoinit yes;

# PIN helper
        pin_helper /etc/bluetooth/givepin;

        # Security Manager mode
        #   none - Security manager disabled
        #   auto - Use local PIN for incoming connections
        #   user - Always ask user for a PIN
        #
        security user;

        # Pairing mode
        #   none  - Pairing disabled
        #   multi - Allow pairing with already paired devices
        #   once  - Pair once and deny successive attempts
        pairing multi;

        # Default PIN code for incoming connections
        passkey "1337";
}

# Default settings for HCI devices
device {
        # Local device name
        #   %d - device id
        #   %h - host name
        name "KiWi";

        # Local device class
        class 0x3e0100;

        # Default packet type
        #pkt_type DH1,DM1,HV1;

        # Inquiry and Page scan
        iscan enable; pscan enable;

        # Default link mode
        #   none   - no specific policy 
        #   accept - always accept incoming connections
        #   master - become master on incoming connections,
        #            deny role switch on outgoing connections
        lm accept;

        # Default link policy
        #   none    - no specific policy
        #   rswitch - allow role switch
        #   hold    - allow hold mode
        #   sniff   - allow sniff mode
        #   park    - allow park mode
        lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park;
}

In hcid.conf set :

security auto;

and restart bluetooth (/etc/rc.d/bluetooth restart).
Then try to pair from mobile. When mobile ask for PIN type 1337 (or whatever you set as "passkey" in hcid.conf).

If you have problems with finding PC from mobile try:

# hciconfig hci0 piscan

That is outdated. The PIN is now obtained via dbus. You can either use "bluetooth-applet" from the bluez-gnome package or enter "passkey --default 1337" before trying to pair with the device.

Of course you're right, but

So I thought this old method could work.

Are you just wanting to copy stuff from, say, your gallery? Obexftp is better for that kind of thing. I've had it working with a 6234, which is basically the 6233.

IsSuE · 2006-12-13 16:38:34

that is exactly what i want
i am now trying obexftp, is there probably a GUI for it?

configuring obexftp confused me. I gave up after about 10 minutes of messing with it, but at least i got my devices to show up (I needed an hciconfig hci0 down && hciconfig hci0 up) and all that jazz...

Bluetooth is a bit confusing still. The dependency on dbus even more so.

obexftp is not that confusing so far. actually you got nearly nothing to configure. The only thing is to type obexftp -b -l and your directories are listed. then download them via obexftp -g

but a gui would be nice anyway. looking at the obex page right now...

For all you KDE users, kdebluetooth uses openobex as a backend, so you can use konqueror as a GUI.
