[Bug 284994] Re: bluetooth-wizard unable to pair headset
I personally think the solution to this bug should be to offer a few options right after you do the device select screen. They should be preselected depending on the device you are using. (1) Randomly chosen PIN number that you enter on the device (Good for keyboards) (2) Preselected common PIN number (Typically or 1234, show in the UI) (3) Enter a PIN number Why make it so complicated ? Just let the user enter whatever pin he wants (3) like it was perfectly working before (you could prefill the field with some random PIN however, so that users who don't know what a pin is and are not using devices who need specific pins could just hit next)... ** Tags added: regression-release -- bluetooth-wizard unable to pair headset https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284994 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 284994] Re: bluetooth-wizard unable to pair headset
SOLVED!
At least for my A2DP audio sink (Nokia AD-42W).
1. Set up device in pairing-mode
2. sudo sdptool browse and then enter the bluetooth PIN code into the
popup window.
OR
sudo hcitool scan to get the device id xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
sudo sdptool search --bdaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx y where y is your service type
(in my case y=A2SNK).
Then enter the bluetooth PIN code into the popup window.
Finished.
For A2DP devices (Bluetooth Audio Devices):
Create ~/.asoundrc:
pcm.bluetooth {
type bluetooth
device xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
profile auto
}
If you are getting distorted sound output (e.g. when using a bluetooth mouse)
then uncomment last three lines in /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf:
[A2DP]
SBCSources=1
MPEG12Sources=0

Okay, I have a partial patch for this problem. You need to download the source code and change a line of code. I say a partial patch because you need to recompile and install any time you want to change the default PIN code. In the source code, change the line near the bottom in /wizard/main.c ---FROM--- target_pincode = g_strdup_printf(%d, g_random_int_range(1000, )); -TO- target_pincode = g_strdup_printf(); - You can change the part to whatever your PIN number is.

I believe the latest snapshot of bluez-gnome adds support for some GPS receivers: http://git.kernel.org/?p=bluetooth/bluez-gnome.git;a=commit;h=3db5bad47fafeebd8213fd85b8f47d2147d9250f However, continually adding supported pin codes to the source code isn't really a long term solution. It would be better if there was an option to enter your own pin. Anyone know how to do this? I'm not familiar enough with gtk to feel comfortable adding this feature. A possible catch-all patch (temporarily, at least), would be to change the default code tried from random to , since it's what most devices use. For example, from http://git.kernel.org/?p=bluetooth/bluez-gnome.git;a=tree /bluez-gnome/wizard/main.c --CHANGE-- line 548: target_pincode = g_strdup_printf(%d, g_random_int_range(1000, )); -TO--- line 548: target_pincode = g_strdup_printf(%d, ); --- I'm not able to test this currently, can someone give it a try?
