I'm on an amd64 machine. Ever since I emerged some bluetooth programs
(from http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/bluetooth-guide.xml) to set up a
bluetooth dongle my /var/log/kern.log gets filled up with messages like
the following.
Jun 10 06:26:51 host2 hci_scodata_packet: hci0 SCO packet for unknown
connection handle 92
About 330 of these line get written to kern.log a second and eventually
my /var partition gets filled up.
Even after stopping bluetooth (/etc/init.d/bluetooth stop) these
messages still get written to the log.
The setup seemed to go well, but I don't have the sdpd process.
When I start bluetooth I get . . .
# /etc/init.d/bluetooth start
* Starting Bluetooth ...
* Starting hcid ... [ ok ]
* Starting rfcomm ... [ ok ]
The documentation says I should get . . .
# /etc/init.d/bluetooth start
* Starting Bluetooth ...
* Starting hcid ... [ ok ]
* Starting sdpd ... [ ok ]
* Starting rfcomm ... [ ok ]
I can find to much about the sdpd process. What does it do? Is it
needed or deprecated?
The two problems I'm having are:
1) The kern.log filling up which should stop once the setup is
correct, but until then I'd like to be able to stop whatever is doing it.
2) The sdpd process, I don't know why it didn't get installed and if
that's causing me problems.
The documentation to setup bluetooth seemed easy, I don't know why it
didn't work.
Thanks,
