Package: bluez-utils Version: 2.10-5 Severity: important Hi,
I got a new mobile and had to re-pair it with my pc. Pairing BT devices with a pin seems completely broken. There are three security settings in hcid.conf: none/auto/user I tried auto and user auto should do something like "cat /etc/bluetooth/pin" to get the pin and auto should call the binary set with pin_helper Neither of them works. What I tried with setting "auto": I tried file format "1234" and "PIN:1234", result: My mobile asks me for a pin, then: hcid[8642]: pin_code_request (sba=00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, dba=00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) hcid[8658]: PIN helper exited abnormally with code 256 (BT ids hidden by me) Now I tried setting "user" which should start the bluez-pin app and show me the PIN dialog. But same error. No popup. Starting "bluez-pin out 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" from console does work though... (so the bluez-pin app itself works) Then I created a little shell script to test: /usr/local/bin/bluez-pin: --------------------------------- #!/bin/bash echo "$*" > /tmp/bluez-pin.args echo "PIN:1234" --------------------------------- and set "pin_helper /usr/local/bin/bluez-pin;" in hcid.conf Result: now a link_key file gets created and connection to my mobile works. /tmp/bluez-pin.args contains "out 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" which is fine, but: The file is owned by root (!). I think that may be the reason why no popup window appeard on my screen. root has no permission to write to my X screen.
