Package: bluez-utils
Version: 2.10-5
Severity: important
Hi,
I got a new mobile and had to re-pair it with my pc.
Pairing BT devices with a pin seems completely broken.
There are three security settings in hcid.conf: none/auto/user
I tried auto and user
auto should do something like "cat /etc/bluetooth/pin" to get the pin
and auto should call the binary set with pin_helper
Neither of them works.
What I tried with setting "auto":
I tried file format "1234" and "PIN:1234", result:
My mobile asks me for a pin, then:
hcid[8642]: pin_code_request (sba=00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, dba=00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx)
hcid[8658]: PIN helper exited abnormally with code 256
(BT ids hidden by me)
Now I tried setting "user" which should start the bluez-pin app and show
me the PIN dialog. But same error. No popup.
Starting "bluez-pin out 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" from console does work though...
(so the bluez-pin app itself works)
Then I created a little shell script to test:
/usr/local/bin/bluez-pin:
---------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
echo "$*" > /tmp/bluez-pin.args
echo "PIN:1234"
---------------------------------
and set "pin_helper /usr/local/bin/bluez-pin;" in hcid.conf
Result: now a link_key file gets created and connection to my mobile
works.
/tmp/bluez-pin.args contains "out 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" which is fine, but:
The file is owned by root (!). I think that may be the reason why no
popup window appeard on my screen. root has no permission to write to
my X screen.
Comments?
