Package: bluez-utils
Version: 3.30-3
Severity: wishlist
I'm typing this using a Bluetooth keyboard which it has taken me a long time to
get
working. Here are a couple of suggestions for README.Debian that could have
saved
me a bit of time:
hidd --connect <bdaddr>
...
For keyboards, type the PIN on the Bluetooth keyboard and hit
enter, and then type it in on a cable-attached keyboard to pair.
I was typing it at the hidd program, which was ignoring me. Maybe this is
obvious
if you're running gnome (etc) that pops up a dialog, but I wasn't. So I
suggest
replacing that last part of that sentence with:
...and then supply it to the passkey agent (using a cable-attached
keyboard).
Regarding the passkey-agent program: is there a reason for not including a
binary?
It's only 8532 bytes. Example usage would also be helpful:
$ ./passkey-agent --default 1234
BTW, the "unsupported" /var/lib/bluetooth/.../pincodes feature didn't work for
me.
Maybe I was doing something wrong (strace tells me that the file was being read
by
hcid). If this has now broken for some reason you might want to remove that
section.
Many thanks, Phil.
