Just as a final update. My connection problems have been solved with some assistence from a coworker :)
for whatever reason /etc/defaults/bluetooth had enable bluetooth set to off. and need to be set to on. After that it was a case of running: sudo bluetooth-wizard apperently their is no command line tool that can do pairing at the moment. I can now mount my phone via bluetooth. regs Konrad. 2009/7/1 konrad Zielinski <[email protected]>: > The obex stuff is what I'm looking for however the problem I seem to > have now is getting my phone and my laptop paired. when I try the obex > things I get a prompt on my phone asking for a pass code.
