[arch-general] Asked for PIN during pairing of Bluetooth mouse
Hi, I'm pretty sure that this is an upstream issue, but to narrow things down and to verify and/or falsify my experience, I'm asking here first. Basically it is about my Bluetooth mouse (Speedlink Saphyr Bluetooth). I paired it some time ago (half a year or something like that) and it worked fine until now, even with the latest packages. However for some other reason I had to delete the pairing and repeat the process of pairing. Surprisingly I've realized that this isn't possible anymore using GNOME Bluetooth. During the process of pairing (after the mouse is discovered and I want to proceed), I'm asked whether the PIN displayed within GNOME Bluetooth matches the one on the device. Obviously the mouse itself by no means can actually display anything, so this seems odd and wasn't the case back when I paired it initially. Regardless of whether I decide to click on the button that says that they match or the one that says that they doesn't, the process of pairing fails. However I can connect the mouse to my computer by using hidd directly (hidd --connect xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx), although this is not a long term solution as it has to be repeated every single time it gets disconnected. I'm now wondering whether anyone of you has also experienced this? I haven't yet looked into it, so I'm not sure whether this is a problem of Gnome Bluetooth itself, or whether there gets something messed up further down in the Bluetooth stack. Maybe some of you could try to repair their Bluetooth mouse (and/or equipment). But be aware that I haven't found a way to pair it permanently once again, so probably you either want to do this in a test environment and/or save your Bluetooth settings beforehand somehow. Thanks in advance! Best regards, Karol Babioch
Hi, just to let you people know, I posted to the gnome-bluetooth mailing list (see [1]). So if you would participate it would probably the better place. Best regards, Karol Babioch [1] http://lists.usefulinc.com/pipermail/gnome-bluetooth/2012-July/001502.html
