There have been some changes in the bluez subsystem recently. 1) hcid needs dbus. If dbus isn't running before bluetooth is started, then hcid doesn't start and you will have to "hciconfig hci0 up" manually every time. The old behaviour is back once you start dbus before bluetooth. 2) device pairing works differently. The first time you try to connect your phone to the computer, the phone will ask for a PIN. With older bluez versions, that PIN was read from a configuration file, but this behaviour also changed. hcid uses dbus to ask for the PIN that should be used. There are currently two ways to enter that PIN: * launch "passkey-agent --default 123456789" before pairing with your phone, then enter 123456789 as PIN in your phone. * launch "bt-applet" (from the community/bluez-gnome package). Once your phone tries to connect, you will be asked for a PIN by a nice dialog. Enter the same PIN in your phone AND in the dialog. * kdebluetooth has no compatible PIN helper, the kdebluetooth development seems to be stalled anyway. Now that you can connect to your phone, click on the kdebluetoothd icon and it will scan for devices. Click on your phone and see what services it offers. If it has "Obex File Transfer", then you can use kdebluetooth to browse it or install community/obexfs to mount it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE+//TEda5KzHP/VARAolFAKCAeNpdXZjE9nQqbj7RoI9mCanZAgCfVBNX xA4aKX0w4NpMbe3nbifE+Rs= =GI7T -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
