Bluetooth Pairing
Please, if I am in the wrong place for a bluetooth question, point me to the correct location. Thanks
I'm on lubuntu and all packages are fully updated, including blueman and all bluez I'm using RFCOMM to connect to my Nokia 6102i phone. I can get it to connect with rfcomm, but it requires a passcode or a pin for each time I make a connection. is there a way to make this persistent once they are paired? Steps I have taken to rectify:
Here's my RFCOMM.conf: Quote:

Details on exactly what I'm doing: in a root terminal I run: rfcomm connect 0I have scrubbed the net looking for someone who has this problem, and cannot find any documentation. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi (aka LinuxQuestions.org), you're my only hope... Thanks Scott |
Is there no response from the community because I didn't provide enough information, or is it because no-one has encountered this issue?
Just looking for some help since it's driving me crazy! Thanks Scott |
Not sure what the protocol is here, but I'll offer $100 transferred via paypal to the person who gets this resolved for me
Thanks Scott |

I just tested it (it took me a while to find a BT device, but): pairing works fine with ubuntu 10.04.2LTS (Yes, I am not "cutting edge", but which version of lubuntu are you using?). I use gnome. Add to top panel Indicator Applet. It has a BT icon. Fire it up, Set up new device, connect to it, enter the ubuntu-generated PIN on the device, they are paired. They stay paired. I just sent a JPG to my ancient palm T2, even after both devices were rebooted. It "just works". So my GUI does all the dirty work for me. Here is a link that may help you discover what is going wrong at the CLI or the config-files levels:http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/...s_under_Ubuntu It's also worth taking a look at /var/lib/bluetooth/* and in particular /var/lib/bluetooth/some:MAC:address(of your phone)/trusts Maybe give it an edit and make your PC trust the BT MAC address of your phone? Remember that restarting services on recent ubuntus has changed (with the introduction of upstart instead of SysV init) but /etc/init.d/whateverservice restart may have been replaced with service whateverservice restart. If in doubt, or it doesn't work, reboot. (Off-topic:"Services" used to be called "daemons". I never had to reboot. Is ubuntu getting more and more like windows?). Not a definitive answer, I know, but I am not asking for money, just trying to help. Perhaps I have given you a few pointers. I'm quite busy, but will keep an eye on this thread. It's probably something simple, and fixable. Good luck. |
Thank you!
I will be in front of my server on Thursday (traveling for business now) and I'll be sure to post my progress. Scott |
