SOLVED. Get org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationRejected when pair

[v_andal]

Hi! I'm trying to pair my bluetooth headset BTH220. In PC I have USB dongle

Code: Select all

# hciconfig -a
hci0:	Type: BR/EDR  Bus: USB
	BD Address: 00:02:5B:00:1C:7B  ACL MTU: 310:10  SCO MTU: 64:8
	UP RUNNING PSCAN 
	RX bytes:12771 acl:0 sco:0 events:221 errors:0
	TX bytes:1431 acl:0 sco:0 commands:96 errors:0
	Features: 0xff 0xff 0x8f 0xfe 0x9b 0xff 0x59 0x83
	Packet type: DM1 DM3 DM5 DH1 DH3 DH5 HV1 HV2 HV3 
	Link policy: RSWITCH HOLD SNIFF PARK 
	Link mode: SLAVE ACCEPT 
	Name: 'vandal-0'
	Class: 0x420100
	Service Classes: Networking, Telephony
	Device Class: Computer, Uncategorized
	HCI Version: 2.1 (0x4)  Revision: 0x149c
	LMP Version: 2.1 (0x4)  Subversion: 0x149c
	Manufacturer: Cambridge Silicon Radio (10)

But when I try 'simple-agent hci0 XX:XX:XX' I always get error

Creating device failed: org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationRejected: Authentication Rejected

I'm doing everything as root, so what could be the reason for "Authentication Rejected"? Incompatible hardware? Wrong configuration?

Thanks to guys from linux-bluetooth mailing list the solution is found. I had to patch /usr/bin/simple-agent script. Replace there KeyboardDisplay with DisplayYesNo. After that pairing works fine. To get the headset in aplay -L listing I had to add following to /etc/asound.conf

Code: Select all

pcm.btheadset {
   type plug
   slave {
       pcm {
           type bluetooth
           device XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
           profile "auto"
       }
   }
   hint {
       show on
       description "BT Headset"
   }
}
ctl.btheadset {
  type bluetooth
}

The output becomes visible as "btheadset".
