System: Debain Wheezy/Sid on a HP Pavilion notebook, Linux 3.0.0-1-amd64; DE is Gnome (with the 2/3 mix that's currently going through Wheezy/Sid) Other device: HTC Desire running CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RC1 lsusb indicates that the dongle is: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
Basically, I seem unable to get my phone to see, talk to, or be paired with my PC using a USB bluetooth dongle. The phone pairs up with other bluetooth phones fine. The steps I've taken so far are: 1. Plug in dongle (the bluetooth service is already running, and the bluetooth applet appears in the tray) 2. Run blueman-manager (capturing console output, but there's a lot of it, so I didn't attach it) 3. Select "Adapter > Preferences..." and set it up to be "Always Visible" with a friendly name 4. Back to Blueman's main screen, click "Search..." 5. My phone is shown in the list (although not with its assigned name, just its MAC), so I right click that and select "Setup..." 6. Select "Use Custom Passkey: " and enter 1234, click "Forward". Blueman attempts to pair with the phone, but no prompt is shown on my phone and Blueman tells me that pairing failed. 7. I right click on my device in Blueman's list and select "Add...". I wait a bit, and it fails with a blank error notification (screenshot attached). 8. I scan for devices with my phone, but no devices are shown. So my question is: how do I get them to pair up? dmesg output after plugging in the dongle is: ---- [ 271.808157] usb 6-2: new full speed USB device number 2 using uhci_hcd [ 272.013520] usb 6-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0a12, idProduct=0001 [ 272.013529] usb 6-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0 [ 272.073267] Bluetooth: Generic Bluetooth USB driver ver 0.6 [ 272.073432] usbcore: registered new interface driver btusb ---- Packages: blueman 1.21-4.1 bluetooth 4.96-1 gnome-bluetooth 2.30.0-3 (there are others, so if I've missed an important one, let me know) Cheers, Jason
