The bluetooth pairing assistant is just terribly broken. It simply doesn't care if you select '0000' or whatever, it will always try its 6-digit pin.
This is what works for me with paring with my Magic Trackpad: 1) Try to pair with the "0000" pin option. It will fail with the 6-digit number. Restart the assistant. 2) Try to pair with the "automatic" pin option. It will fail with the 6-digit number. Restart the assistant. 3) Try to pair with the "0000" pin option again. This time, it will magically work. This 3-step procedure works for me on Ubuntu 12.04 and 13.04. Please tell me if it works for you. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/618838 Title: Apple Magic Trackpad requires PIN to pair, fails manual pairing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/618838/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
