hello forum, I am trying to connect my cellular phone sony ericsson w880i with my centos 5, I have installed the packages bluez-utils-3.7-2.el5.centos bluez-libs-3.7-1 bluez-hcidump-1.32-1 when I restart the bluetooth he tells me that it doesn't recognize the password Unknown option 'pin_helper' line 5 Jan 23 22:11:23 xserver hcid[22723]: syntax error line 5 Jan 23 22:11:23 xserver hcid[22723]: Register path:/org/bluez fallback:1 I have trying with passkey and pin_helper but it doesn't work me
Post your configuration, as you can see from the logs you have a syntax error on line 5 of one of your configuration files am guessing /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
options { autoinit yes; security auto; pairing multi; pin_helper /usr/bin/bluepin; } device { name "MY PHONEC"; class 0x000100; iscan enable; pscan enable; lm accept; lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park; }
the "pin_helper" option is only valid with bluez-libs-2.x & bluez-utils-2.x and below. Thats what is causing the service to fail to start up. Bluez-3.X has replaced pin helpers with passkey agents such as kbluetoothd and bluez-gnome, the bluez-utils also comes with an command line agent passkey-agent.
but that command passkey-agent doesn't have it installed, and my version of is bluez-gnome-0.5-5.fc6 ? with the option of the passkey inside the hcid.conf, the cellular one requests me the PASSWORD every 5 seconds and it doesn't connect with my PC as I can solve that?
First you need to remove that option from your hcid.conf file then restart bluetooth, if you leave the option in bluetooth will not run. I have not used bluez-gnome as i use kbluetoothd, but it is supposed to popup a dialog for you to type the pin in.
