Can't pair PC with mobile using bluetooth, suspecting dbus problem.

I already whined a little in this thread but I originally made the thread for a different problem, also this doesn't seem to be slackware specific.

So my objective is to get bluetooth working between my Slackware 11.0 and my SonyEricsson W810i so I could sync my contacts, todos and appointments between SonyEricsson and Kontact. So far I've reached a point where my USB bluetooth dongle works, I can ping my phone, I can even use obex push but I can't pair the phone with pc which seems to be needed by KMobileTools. So here's what I've done so far and what doesn't work.

I downloaded and compiled from source the following programs in that order:

dbus-1.0.2
bluez-libs-3.9
bluez-utils-3.9
openobex-1.3
kdebluetooth-1.0_beta2
kmobiletools-0.5_beta1

So far so good. So I started configuring stuff. First I activated my dongle with

Code:

hciconfig hci0 up

Listed all available devices with

Code:

hcitool scan

Changed /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf and /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf and made a little script in the same directory called pin.sh that is executable and outputs PIN:0000 as echo, referenced it from hcid.conf as pin_helper and though that all was ready. I could ping my phone, I could bind it with rfcomm, I could see it's services with sdp or from kde with KBluetooth, I could acess Obexpush from there too.

I couldn't connect to my phone with rfcomm connect or hcitool cc nor access any other services (All these resulted in the phone wanting to pair, I could enter pin from phone but nothing happened in pc and pairing timed out). I also couldn't pair with KDE Pairing Wizard. It found my phone but when looking for available services it froze and had to be killed.

So i started testing stuff and found out that when running hcid with option -n that should keep it from forking and running in backround, I get the error

Code:

hcid[2226]: Bluetooth HCI daemon

hcid[2226]: Enabling debug information

hcid[2226]: Can't connect to system message bus: Failed to connect to socket /usr/local/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory

hcid[2226]: Unable to get on D-Bus

Only similar case I could find was this.

Is it even possible that dbus is the problem here or is there something else. I would be really grateful if someone could at least lead me in the right direction. I'm getting pretty tired already and I'm not sure I included everything in this post that was necessary, if you need to know more about something feel free to ask.

what's the output of hciconfig ?

I'm not in linux right now but it listed the dongle (hci0) it's MAC address and all the options (all of them I've tried to change without any gain: auth, encrypt, secmgr, pscan and iscan as I remember it). If needed I'll check for sure in a few.

that's why I was asking for it. I had a similar problem which was caused by hcid consistently ignoring some options in the hcid.conf. I had to add them manually every time before pairing something. Older versions of bluez worked fine, so I downgraded which fixed my problem.

However, since you have already verified that, your problem is obviously not related to mine.

Thanks for trying anyway. Which of these options are necessary for pairing then?

Hi,

I paired in the other direction, I connected from the phone to bluez and for that you need pscan and iscan enabled. Those would be ignored from hcid.conf. After I added them manually they would randomly be removed again when bluez made inquiries for other devices. That's why I downgraded.

I have no idea what causes your problem, sorry. Maybe you can narrow down the problem by checking your syslog for other error messages of hcid.

Try cat /var/log/syslog | grep hcid. If everything is fine, then it's very likely that dbus is the problem. Maybe reinstalling dbus helps.

The log was clean. If I try to pair with the PC with only pscan and iscan then the phone looks for the PC forever until I kill the connection. If I enable auth it times out instead. I've reinstalled dbus and all the other components including Slackware itself too many times already. I guess I'll try older versions of things then.
God I need some sleep, I have to get it running by Friday though. Seriously, if you have any idea what to try, even if you don't have a clue about anything, still post it. I'm pretty much willing to try everything now.

It can't be dbus problem. Only logical things to blame are the dongle or my own stupidity.

I took a clean old IBM computer, installed slack 11 on it. Compiled a custom 2.6.16.43 kernel. Then I installed dbus 1.0.2, bluez-libs 3.9 and bluez-utils 3.9. That's the point where all should work as I've gotten to understand it but no, everything's the same. I can scan and see the mobile. I just can't pair with it. It's starting to drive me a little crazy. Is there some very important installation step that I'm missing or what?

The dongle actually can't be the problem since IT WORKS but I just can't pair. Has to be my own fault somehow, just don't understand what I'm doig wrong.

ok, just out of curiousity I have tried this now (I normally use kbluepin as pinhelper) and it works flawlessly, except for one detail. The line "pin_helper" is not accepted in my version (3.7.1), I have to register the pin helper manually via the passkey-agent binary. Like this:

passkey-agent --default /etc/bluetooth/pin.sh

Maybe try this and see if this has any impact. If not maybe do a test install of another distribution and see if it works there. If not try another dongle and make sure that your dongle is actually not the problem.

I myself have 2 epox dongles and 1 msi class 1 dongle and the same phone as you, all works perfect including kmobiletools.

Now that you mention it, I think I remember that in some point I saw "pin_helper not reconized" or the like somewhere. Will try right now...

edit: Actually, what is this "passkey-agent". If it's some program then I didn't get it with bluez libs nor utils. Or sould it go to the hcid.conf?

Oh one more thing almatic. If everything works for you, could you try restarting hcid with

Code:

hcid -ndsf /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf

or wherever your config is and show the output. If you get similar dbus error that way then I'll know for sure that that's not the problem.

My output:

Code:

root@SERVER:/etc/bluetooth# hcid -ndsf /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf

hcid[2182]: Bluetooth HCI daemon

hcid[2182]: Enabling debug information

hcid[2182]: Unknown option 'pin_helper' line 25

hcid[2182]: syntax error line 25

hcid[2182]: Can't connect to system message bus: Failed to connect to socket /usr/local/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory

hcid[2182]: Unable to get on D-Bus

edit2: Found passkey agent from bluez-utils source directory, didn't seem to get installed anywhere. Will try...

edit3:

Code:

root@SERVER:/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon# passkey-agent --default /etc/bluetooth/pin.sh

-bash: passkey-agent: command not found

It surely had to get installed somewhere but slocate only finds:

Code:

root@SERVER:/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon# slocate passkey-agent

/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/passkey-agent.c

/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/.deps/passkey-agent.Po

/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/passkey-agent.o

/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/passkey-agent

(I used updatedb, yes)

Otherwise it seems, that this really is the problem. Googling for passkey-agent I found some similar pairing problems that all started working after using it. So now I only have to find it :rolleyes: .

Finally got the passkey-agent executed but it didn't help. I was almost sure that this was the problem, don't know what to try anymore.

Actually I just realized that lsusb lists the dongle as "Broadcom corp." But it's A-link. I thought that A-Link adapters are made by Broadcom or something, if that isn't so then that might be the problem. I'm going to try to figure that out now.

edit: I just noticed that passkay-agent gave the error: "Can't get on system bus". That's still dbus, no?

I'm really sorry for the constant bumping but I'm really a bit desperate. Could anyone try the buetooth setup on their system using only the exact same software as I? I would really like to know what that all is about.

yeah me too on ur side... trying with a sony Ericsson k750i from past two weeks.
i didnt see any error in my syslogs.
file transfer from notebook to phone is smooth.
but when i am trying to pair, thats it.... phone ask for pin, after that no reply from notebook. :confused:
am quite tired of this. i am reading all the posts which google shows me regarding this problem. but still couldn't fix it. becoz of this i am using openSuse10.2 for connecting to internet.

Something new here. Found /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus and started it with

Code:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus start

Now the errors are a bit different:

hcid:

Code:

root@SERVER:~# hcid -nsd

hcid[2188]: Bluetooth HCI daemon

hcid[2188]: Enabling debug information

hcid[2188]: Could not become the primary owner of org.bluez

hcid[2188]: Unable to get on D-Bus

passkey-agent:

Code:

root@SERVER:~# /usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/passkey-agent --default 0000

Can't register passkey agent

The name org.bluez was not provided by any .service files

I'm currently trying to understand how dbus works but I still think I did something wrong, it should work from default install.

maybe your bluetooth settings are messed up?

try clear all the files in /var/lib/bluetooth, then restart dbus and hcid.

as far as i can tell, the /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf becomes useless after the first run, as all persistent settings are stored under /var/lib/blueooth/[btaddr]

edit: No files in /var/lib/bluetooth

edit2: Today is probably the last day I'll be able to work with this problem. I'm going to reinstall Slackware on the box and when installing bluetooth I'll be using a different version of d-bus. Let's see if that'll work.

Alright progress.

Reinstalled everything.

After slackware came dbus. This time I used options

Code:

--localstatedir=/var

--sysconfdir=/etc

when configuring. Before that was /usr/local/var and /usr/local/etc or something. Then I installed bluez-libs and bluez-utils. Dbus works now. Hcid doesn't give any more message bus errors but I still can't pair. First of all hcid gives syntax error to pin_helper in hcid.conf and doesn't read that. Then I still couldn't install passkey-agent to use that as a pin changer. It still sits in <bluez-utils src dir>/daemon uncompiled.

Is there a way to make it work without passkey-agent, if no how do I compile it (didn't find any settings in bluez-utils config)? What is wrong with pin_helper? If I can get answers to these questions It'll probably finally work.

hello :)

I queried my packages and found this:

Code:

tequila:/# dpkg-query -L bluez-utils | grep passkey-agent

/usr/share/doc/bluez-utils/examples/passkey-agent.c.gz

tequila:/# dpkg-query -L kdebluetooth | grep passkey-agent

/usr/bin/passkey-agent

so you may want to try installing kdebluetooth. Though it appears quite stupid to not put this tool into blues-utils ...

Allright thanks, will try.
edit: Damn, just remembered that the computer that I'm trying to use bluetooth on doesn't have KDE : D. Is there really no other way?

there is no other way that I'm aware of, sorry. Also kdebluetooth seems to be the only package which contains passkey-agent (at least in debian packages, see below).

http://tinyurl.com/2ldrjz

I might have been too fast. I went to the /usr/share/doc/bluez-utils/examples/ directory of my bluez-utils package, where the code of passkey agent is, and it also contains a Makefile to compile that code.
Look if you find a separate Makefile for the passkey-agent in your bluez-utils source directory. The .c-file is there for a reason.

Code:

root@SERVER:/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon# ls

Makefile    adapter.c  auth-agent*  bluetooth.conf  database.h  echo.service  manager.c  passkey-agent*  service.c  system.h

Makefile.am  adapter.h  auth-agent.c  bluetoothd*    database.o  main.c        manager.h  passkey-agent.c  service.h

Makefile.in  adapter.o  auth-agent.o  database.c      echo.c      main.o        manager.o  passkey-agent.o  service.o

That might be a little silly but I can't use the ./configure in that folder so I don't know how I'm supposed to compile it. As much as I understand configuring in the main source folder makes a makefile to ./daemon too. Make alone doesn't work.

Code:

root@SERVER:/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon# make

make: Nothing to be done for `all'.

Also if it should prove neccesary, the Makefile in daemon

Code:

root@SERVER:/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon# cat Makefile

there is already a binary in the directory you listed.

passkey-agent*

Copy that to /usr/bin

Yeah, I tried it earlier, but that one gave error as before:

Code:

root@SERVER:/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9# /usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/passkey-agent --default 0000

Can't register passkey agent

The name org.bluez was not provided by any .service files

Figured it was because it was uncompiled.
Should copying it to /usr/bin change anything? It basically just makes it a shortcut then, doesn't it?
Well trying anyway...
edit: And didn't change anything.

no, it compiled correctly, this is the right file. I don't think this error has something to do with the passkey-agent file.
I suppose that it either needs some service, which is not installed (kdebluetoothd ?) or it's (again) a dbus problem.
I don't know it though ...

Thanks for your help nevertheless. D-bus does seem to be okay now. I'll deal with it tomorrow. Glad I made even that much progress today.

there is a file 'bluetoothd' in the same directory. Can you try to start thtat service and then again register the passkey agent. I cannot try because I don't seem to have bluetoothd ...

After starting bluetoothd with

Code:

root@SERVER:~# /usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/bluetoothd start

the error has changed to:

Code:

root@SERVER:~# /usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/passkey-agent --default 0000

Can't register passkey agent

Method "RegisterDefaultPasskeyAgent" with signature "s" on interface "org.bluez.Security" doesn't exist

I don't have much time to fool around with it now but I'll check it in couple of hours when I get home.

make sure that bluetoothd can parse its config-file (bluetooth.conf). Look if bluetoothd -h (or --help) gives you info, or look for a manpage for bluetoothd. Also take a look at bluetooth.conf. If you cannot find any info on bluetoothd, just try something like this:

/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/bluetoothd /usr/src/bluez-utils3.9/daemon/bluetooth.conf

Unfortunately didn't work out.

bluetoothd has following options:

Code:

root@SERVER:/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon# /usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/bluetoothd --help

bluetoothd - Bluetooth daemon ver 3.9



Usage:

        bluetoothd [options]



Options:

        --help        Display help

        --debug      Enable debug information

        --nodaemon    Run daemon in foreground

Code:

root@SERVER:/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon# /usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/bluetoothd --debug --nodaemon

bluetoothd[2179]: Bluetooth daemon ver 3.9

bluetoothd[2179]: Enabling debug information

bluetoothd[2179]: Could not become the primary owner of org.bluez

and

Code:

root@SERVER:/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon# man -k bluetooth

bluetooth: nothing appropriate

also

Code:

root@SERVER:/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon# /usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/bluetoothd /usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/bluetooth.conf

That just run it without any difference. passkey-agent still gives the same error.

I'll see what else I can try.

I guess you have already tried the option 'passkey "0000";' in the hcid.conf. This was default in my hcid.conf. This is my hcid.conf.

Code:

options {

        autoinit yes;

        security user;

        pairing multi;

        # passkey "1234";

}

device {

        name "tequila";

        class 0x100100;

        iscan enable; pscan enable;

        lm accept;

        lp hold,sniff,park;

        discovto 0;

}

If this also doesn't work I'd recommend that you subscribe to the bluez-users mailinglist and ask there, how pairing is supposed to work with no desktop environment installed.
I'm running out of ideas.

Yeah, my hcid is basically identical to yours:

Code:

root@SERVER:~# cat /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf

#

# HCI daemon configuration file.

#



# HCId options

options {

        # Automatically initialize new devices

        autoinit yes;



        # Security Manager mode

        #  none - Security manager disabled

        #  auto - Use local PIN for incoming connections

        #  user - Always ask user for a PIN

        #

        security user;



        # Pairing mode

        #  none  - Pairing disabled

        #  multi - Allow pairing with already paired devices

        #  once  - Pair once and deny successive attempts

        pairing multi;



        # Default PIN code for incoming connections

        passkey "0000";

        #pin_helper /etc/bluetooth/pin.sh

}



# Default settings for HCI devices

device {

        # Local device name

        #  %d - device id

        #  %h - host name

        name "SERVER";



        # Local device class

        class 0x3e0100;



        # Default packet type

        #pkt_type DH1,DM1,HV1;



        # Inquiry and Page scan

        iscan enable; pscan enable;



        # Default link mode

        #  none  - no specific policy

        #  accept - always accept incoming connections

        #  master - become master on incoming connections,

        #            deny role switch on outgoing connections

        lm accept;



        # Default link policy

        #  none    - no specific policy

        #  rswitch - allow role switch

        #  hold    - allow hold mode

        #  sniff  - allow sniff mode

        #  park    - allow park mode

        lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park;

}

I'll try some more random stuff and then turn to the mailing list. Thanks a lot for all your help. Seriously appreciated.

edit: Also desktopless isn't really a problem. All was same on the other computer with kde installed. It's eighter some incompability in current slackware/kernel/bluez or I'm doing something very wrong.

It's been 6 days now without a response from the mailing list, so I figured I'll go for another bump. More specifically, I was comparing my actions with drkstr's howto. It might be a little outdated but I was wondering about the existance of rc.bluetooth. I didn't have anything like that in my system. From where exactly is it installed and is it also necessary in the current bluez version?

Also, when I get a little free time today or in couple of next days, I'll do a full system reinstall again documenting every single thing I do. Hopefully someone will have a little time to look over it and see, if anything's wrong there. Maybe even better, try to duplicate the problem.

So here goes, every single step:

I make sata.i, install.1, install.2 and network.dsk disks on this desktop computer, all downloaded from the local linux ftp and up to date.

Reboot server, insert disk, slack starts booting. I don't give any boot options just press enter, also through the two install disks. When I can finally log in as root, I do that and run

Code:

fdisk /dev/hda

I check the partition table with

Code:

p

and since I don't want to change anything, I leave it like that and use

Code:

w

to write the table.

It's as follows:
primary partitions:
hda1- /- 1GB
hda2- extended- 9GB
rest are logical inside hda2
hda5- swap- 512MB
hda6- /usr- 3GB
hda7- /home- 5.5GB

then I start configuring network since I'm going to use NFS install:

Code:

network

enter,enter and it finds eepro100
so

Code:

setup

I choose the keyboard layout, format hda5 as swap, hda1 as /, hda6 as /usr and /hda7 as /home
start installing from NFS
all the slackware packages are on this desktop computer, checked to be up to date
I select everything exept KDE related stuff, X window things and games.
Installs...
I use the 2.4.33.3 kernel from bootdisk, configure lilo to boot from /dev/hda1, disable most services exept ssh, CUPS, and some defaults, change root's password and complete the install, I don't remember if there was anything more intresting, I guess not.
So I reboot and take the monitor and keyboard back to my desktop computer. The server now runs only with power, network and printer connections + bluetooth dongle.

I ssh to server from my computer:

first, new kernel.

Code:

root@SERVER:~#wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.20.7.tar.gz

root@SERVER:~# mkdir /usr/src/tar

root@SERVER:~# mv linux-2.6.20.7.tar.gz /usr/src/tar

root@SERVER:~# cd /usr/src/tar

root@SERVER:/usr/src/tar# tar -xzf linux-2.6.20.7.tar.gz

root@SERVER:/usr/src/tar# mv linux-2.6.20.7 ..

root@SERVER:/usr/src/tar# cd ..

root@SERVER:/usr/src# rm linux

root@SERVER:/usr/src# ln -s linux-2.6.20.7/ linux

root@SERVER:/usr/src# cd linux

I'm using the config from the previous install. I can't codequote it here, cause the message is too long to post then, if needed I'll post it later in two posts.

Code:

make oldconfig

make menuconfig

just to check that it's correct

good to go:
I modify lilo.conf to use old kernel too

Code:

root@SERVER:/usr/src/linux# cat /etc/lilo.conf

# Start LILO global section

boot = /dev/hda

prompt

timeout = 5

vga = normal

# End LILO global section



# Linux bootable partition config begins

image = /boot/vmlinuz

root = /dev/hda1

label = Slack-2.6.20.7

read-only

# Linux bootable partition config ends



# Linux bootable partition config begins

image = /boot/vmlinuz.old

root = /dev/hda1

label = Slack-2.4.33.3

read-only

# Linux bootable partition config ends

Code:

make

make modules_install

make install

I fix all the links and stuff in /boot

Code:

root@SERVER:/boot# ls -l

beautiful. So now the not so pretty part, I'll install bluez.

I use lynx to get latest dbus, bluez-utils and bluez-libs from their respective sites. That's dbus-1.0.2, bluez-libs-3.9 and bluez-utils-3.9. Alrighty:

Code:

root@SERVER:~# ls *.tar.gz

bluez-libs-3.9.tar.gz  bluez-utils-3.9.tar.gz  dbus-1.0.2.tar.gz

root@SERVER:~# mv *.tar.gz /usr/src/tar

root@SERVER:~# cd /usr/src/tar

root@SERVER:/usr/src/tar# tar -xzf dbus-1.0.2.tar.gz

root@SERVER:/usr/src/tar# tar -xzf bluez-libs-3.9.tar.gz

root@SERVER:/usr/src/tar# tar -xzf bluez-utils-3.9.tar.gz

root@SERVER:/usr/src/tar# mv dbus-1.0.2 ..

root@SERVER:/usr/src/tar# mv bluez-libs-3.9 ..

root@SERVER:/usr/src/tar# mv bluez-utils-3.9 ..

root@SERVER:/usr/src/tar# cd ../dbus-1.0.2/

root@SERVER:/usr/src/dbus-1.0.2#

I won't post all the ./configure,make and make install output but what I did was

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc

make

ldconfig

next, bluez libraries:

Code:

root@SERVER:/usr/src/dbus-1.0.2# cd ../bluez-libs-3.9/

./configure --prefix=/usr

make

make install

ldconfig

and finally

Code:

root@SERVER:/usr/src/bluez-libs-3.9# cd ../bluez-utils-3.9/

./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man  --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --libexecdir=/lib

make

make install

ldconfig

updatedb

Done, let's get to it:

I configure hcid.conf like this:

Code:

root@SERVER:/etc/bluetooth# cat /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf

#

# HCI daemon configuration file.

#



# HCId options

options {

        # Automatically initialize new devices

        autoinit yes;



        # Security Manager mode

        #  none - Security manager disabled

        #  auto - Use local PIN for incoming connections

        #  user - Always ask user for a PIN

        #

        security auto;



        # Pairing mode

        #  none  - Pairing disabled

        #  multi - Allow pairing with already paired devices

        #  once  - Pair once and deny successive attempts

        pairing multi;



        # Default PIN code for incoming connections

        passkey "2486";

}



# Default settings for HCI devices

device {

        # Local device name

        #  %d - device id

        #  %h - host name

        name "SERVER";



        # Local device class

        class 0x3e0100;



        # Default packet type

        #pkt_type DH1,DM1,HV1;



        # Inquiry and Page scan

        iscan enable; pscan enable;



        # Default link mode

        #  none  - no specific policy

        #  accept - always accept incoming connections

        #  master - become master on incoming connections,

        #            deny role switch on outgoing connections

        lm accept;



        # Default link policy

        #  none    - no specific policy

        #  rswitch - allow role switch

        #  hold    - allow hold mode

        #  sniff  - allow sniff mode

        #  park    - allow park mode

        lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park;

}

I'm really not sure of this step but I create a "messagebus" user for dbus with adduser

Code:

adduser messagebus

enter to everything else
I also give all rights of /var/run/dbus to it

Code:

root@SERVER:~# chown messagebus:users /var/run/dbus

root@SERVER:~# chmod u+rwx /var/run/dbus

No idea if that's even used.
so let's bring up the dongle

Code:

root@SERVER:~# hciconfig hci0 up

root@SERVER:~# hciconfig

hci0:  Type: USB

        BD Address: 00:02:72:02:27:63 ACL MTU: 1017:8 SCO MTU: 64:0

        UP RUNNING

        RX bytes:79 acl:0 sco:0 events:8 errors:0

        TX bytes:30 acl:0 sco:0 commands:8 errors:0

All the extra stuff isn't enabled for some reason so:

Code:

root@SERVER:~# hciconfig hci0 piscan auth secmgr encrypt

root@SERVER:~# hciconfig

hci0:  Type: USB

        BD Address: 00:02:72:02:27:63 ACL MTU: 1017:8 SCO MTU: 64:0

        UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN AUTH ENCRYPT SECMGR

        RX bytes:97 acl:0 sco:0 events:11 errors:0

        TX bytes:42 acl:0 sco:0 commands:11 errors:0

Looks better.
I use my cell now to look for available bluetooth devices. It finds BCM2045. Ah right, forgot to restart hcid:

Code:

hcid -f /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf

Checking again with the cell. Still the same name. Oh yeah, I had to start dbus and stuff before. For checking I run:

Code:

root@SERVER:~# hcid -nsd

hcid[6314]: Bluetooth HCI daemon

hcid[6314]: Enabling debug information

hcid[6314]: Can't connect to system message bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory

hcid[6314]: Unable to get on D-Bus

Yeah, that's it.

Code:

root@SERVER:~# /etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus start

root@SERVER:~# hcid -nsd

Way better. I repeat the

Code:

hcid -f /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf

Third time is the charm, retrying with the cell. Oh great, now it doesn't find anything. Something's messed up.

Code:

root@SERVER:~# hcitool scan

Scanning ...

        00:16:B8:23:A8:51      W810i

hmm.

Code:

root@SERVER:~# hciconfig hci0 down

        BD Address: 00:02:72:02:27:63 ACL MTU: 1017:8 SCO MTU: 64:0

        RX bytes:1572 acl:0 sco:0 events:63 errors:0

        TX bytes:972 acl:0 sco:0 commands:53 errors:0

Fourth time with the cell and it finds SERVER. Delicious.
Just for kicks I try to pair from cell once. The cell waits for about half a minute and asks to enter the pin. I enter 2486 as in hcid.conf, cell waits for another half a minute and reports pairing failed. Sounds familiar.

So what's next, let's mess with passkey agent a little.

Code:

root@SERVER:~# slocate passkey

/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/passkey-agent.c

/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/.deps/passkey-agent.Po

/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/passkey-agent.o

/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/passkey-agent

root@SERVER:~# cd /usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/

so first

Code:

root@SERVER:/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon# /usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/passkey-agent --default 2486

Weird, it just stays running. That didn't happen before. Anyway now the cell can't find PC anymore.

Code:

root@SERVER:/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon# hciconfig hci0 down;hciconfig hci0 up piscan auth encrypt secmgr

root@SERVER:/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon# hciconfig

hci0:  Type: USB

        BD Address: 00:02:72:02:27:63 ACL MTU: 1017:8 SCO MTU: 64:0

        UP RUNNING PSCAN AUTH ENCRYPT SECMGR

        RX bytes:2100 acl:0 sco:0 events:96 errors:0

        TX bytes:1334 acl:0 sco:0 commands:79 errors:0

Didn't fix it, now I'm worried.

Code:

root@SERVER:/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon# hcid -nsd

hcid[6372]: Bluetooth HCI daemon

hcid[6372]: Enabling debug information

hcid[6372]: Could not become the primary owner of org.bluez

hcid[6372]: Unable to get on D-Bus

Hmm, is it because it's already using dbus or is something wrong with it.

Code:

root@SERVER:/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon# /etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus restart

Stopping system message bus

Starting system message bus

Failed to start message bus: The pid file "/var/run/dbus/pid" exists, if the message bus is not running, remove this file

Yah, forgot
Wait it isn't there. It had to delete it itself somehow, whatever.

Code:

root@SERVER:/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon# /etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus restart

And only after

Code:

the cell can see the pc again.
Whew, that was fun, why not try that again:

Code:

root@SERVER:/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon# /usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/passkey-agent --default 2486

Can't register passkey agent

The name org.bluez was not provided by any .service files

Hmm, that I remember. Wonder what made it remain working the previous time.

Code:

root@SERVER:/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon# /usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/bluetoothd --debug --nodaemon

bluetoothd[6408]: Bluetooth daemon ver 3.9

bluetoothd[6408]: Enabling debug information

bluetoothd[6408]: Could not become the primary owner of org.bluez

And that I remember too.

Code:

root@SERVER:/usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon# /usr/src/bluez-utils-3.9/daemon/passkey-agent --default 2486

Can't register passkey agent

Method "RegisterDefaultPasskeyAgent" with signature "s" on interface "org.bluez.Security" doesn't exist

Been there, haven't got out yet.

I lurk around the system for some time and find

Code:

root@SERVER:~# cat /etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf

<!-- This configuration file specifies the required security policies

    for Bluetooth core service to work. -->



<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"

 "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">

<busconfig>



  <!-- ../system.conf have denied everything, so we just punch some holes -->



  <policy user="root">

    <allow receive_sender="org.bluez.Database"/>



    <allow send_destination="org.bluez.Security"/>

    <allow receive_sender="org.bluez.Security"/>

  </policy>



</busconfig>

It has cool words like org.bluez and security in it, other then that I have no idea how it works. By now I'm also having serious trouble keeping my eyes open and I'm out of coffee. To be continued tomorrow...

this is some long posting :eek:

I didn't see anything wrong in your steps, at least nothing obvious. However, instead of doing the same over and over again I'd suggest changing something, so you at least come closer to what the problem is.
Did you notice that slackware-current uses bluez 3.8 ? Maybe try their packages for a change (for dbus also) if you can't get forward anymore.
http://slackware-current.net/package.php?id=196

That actually sounds pretty reasonable. Before I try though, a question about uninstalling. If I go to /usr/src/<src> and do

Code:

make uninstall

Does it really remove all traces of program from the system, or should I delete something manually?
I intend to start using slackware package management system soon when I finally have the time to understand how to make packages from source. Until then, I want to make sure I don't leave any garbage on my system.

I had the very same problem (uid/gid) and passkey-agent missing,
but I manage to solve it !!!

add this to /etc/passwd
messagebus:x:81:81:User for D-BUS:/var/run/dbus:/bin/false
and add to /etc/group
messagebus:x:81:

from slackware-current download dbus, bluez-packages and do ./slackbuild
you will found packages in /tmp
#installpgk /tmp/*.tgz

now you should have dbus and all bluez packages installed:

then do
#sh /etc//rc.d/rc.messagebus start

then in some console do
#hcid -ndsf /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf

You will see:

now everything works :)

Have fun .

Wow, thanks dude, I'm on it.

Wow it's terrible. I used Slackware packages this time.

dbus 1.0.2
bluez-libs-3.8
bluez-utils-3.8

And I can't even get the messagebus to work. rc.messagebus start says it works but it doesn't

Code:

root@SERVER:~# /etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus start

Starting system message bus:  /usr/bin/dbus-uuidgen --ensure ; /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system

root@SERVER:~# hcid -nf /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf

hcid[3193]: Bluetooth HCI daemon

hcid[3193]: Can't connect to system message bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory

hcid[3193]: Unable to get on D-Bus

I'm looking into this but it's really making me a bit pissed now.

edit: hcid can't even use -d and -s flags. zdavid, maybe I should use the versions I used before?

And I can't even get the messagebus to work. rc.messagebus start says it works but it doesn't

Code:

root@SERVER:~# /etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus start

Starting system message bus:  /usr/bin/dbus-uuidgen --ensure ; /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system

root@SERVER:~# hcid -nf /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf

hcid[3193]: Bluetooth HCI daemon

hcid[3193]: Can't connect to system message bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory

hcid[3193]: Unable to get on D-Bus

I'm looking into this but it's really making me a bit pissed now.

edit: hcid can't even use -d and -s flags. zdavid, maybe I should use the versions I used before?

again did you add ???
- /etc/passwd
messagebus:x:81:81:User for D-BUS:/var/run/dbus:/bin/false
- and add to /etc/group
messagebus:x:81:

next thing

# ps aufwx |grep `cat /var/run/dbus/dbus.pid`
81 2094 0.0 0.0 2172 772 ? Ss 20:57 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system

I've sent you a packages for slack 11 on your email...

I did everything as you said and I've currently got to the point where all's as before, everything works but pairing.

passkey-agent gives me

Code:

root@SERVER:~# passkey-agent --default 2486

passkey-agent: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.0' not found (required by passkey-agent)

So I'll try to find this glibc thing.

edit: pkgtool says I have it already.

edit2: The user was added too, yes.

Bump, could somone explain me the glibc 2.0 error, I don't get it.

Just wanted to say that I'm currently using Slackware 12.0 which has perfect bluetooth support. Thanks again.

Hey people, you definitely need passkey-agent.

I have spent many hours with useless fiddling with bluez on Fedora Core 6 (FC6) but there is no passkey-agent included in the regular bluez RPM packages (utils & lib 3.7).
I had to install dev packages

Code:

# yum --enablerepo development update bluez*

# rpm -qa | grep bluez

bluez-hcidump-1.40-1.fc8

bluez-utils-cups-3.19-1.fc8

bluez-gnome-0.14-5.fc8

bluez-libs-3.19-1.fc8

bluez-utils-3.19-1.fc8

and then I did

Code:

passkey-agent --default 4321

...and voila - everything was fine.

Hope this helps someone...
