[Bug 284994] Re: bluetooth-wizard unable to pair to fixed pin devices

[Jonathan Ernst]

** Description changed:

  This is a regression between Hardy and Intrepid
  
  == Regression details ==
  Discovered in version: Intrepid
  Last known good version: Hardy
  
  == Affected use cases/hardware ==
- Any bluetooth peripheral that has a fixed pin cannot be paired anymore.
+ Any bluetooth peripheral that has a fixed pin which is not handled by the hardcoded algorithm upstream uses.
+ 
+ Some examples :
+ 
+ X3 Micro headset http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560315
+ Holux 1000B GPS http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560604
+ Acoustic Research ARWH1 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560605
+ Holux m-241 GPS http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560606
+ Bluemax Bluetooth GPS Receiver GPS-009 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560609
+ Navigon Triceiver GPS http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560713
+ HBH-PV700 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560714
+ Qstarz BT-Q880 GPS http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560715

+ Trust V92 56K Bluetooth Wireless Modem http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560763

  == Known workaround ==
  none (besides using Ubuntu Hardy)
  
  == Description ==
  Binary package hint: bluez-gnome
  
  using bluez-gnome version  1.8-0ubuntu1
  
  ubuntu 8.10 intrepid
  
  Tried to pair with a bluetooth headset.  Started bluetooth-wizard, with
  headset in pairing mode.  Headset detected OK and shown on the "Device
  search" display.  Selected it and clicked "Forward".  Under "Device
  setup", got message "setting up new device", then "Connecting to X3
  micro now".
  
  Then, "Please enter the following PIN code: 0000" flashed up and
  vanished, followed by "Pairing with X3 micro failed".
  
  In fact, because it's a headset, there is no way to enter a pin code on
  it, and I presume this is why the failure occurred.  What is needed is
  for the bluetooth-wizard to prompt for the headset's pin code and send
  that to the headset, rather than the other way around as is set up at
  present.
