 |
|
Hello there
Bluetooth on Gentoo is giving me a HARD time. I'm suffering every moment with it's setup like I had never suffered with Gentoo! 
And all I want is using my bluetooth keyboard, but after reading TONS of documents, I'm about to give up, once and for all.
I emerged bluez-tools with the "old-daemons" USE flag, so I could get hidd, to follow the bluetooth HOWTO's in the gentoo wiki.
Let's see:
| Code: |
commodore~ # hidd --connect 00:22:41:DC:06:49
Can't create HID control channel: connection refused
|
Relevant files are as follow:
/etc/conf.d/bluetooth
| Code: | # Bluetooth configuraton file
# Run hid2hci (allowed values are "true" and "false")
HID2HCI_ENABLE=false
# Bind rfcomm devices (allowed values are "true" and "false")
RFCOMM_ENABLE=true
# Config file for rfcomm
RFCOMM_CONFIG="/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf"
HCID_ENABLE=true
HIDD_ENABLE=true
HIDD_OPTIONS="--connect 00:22:41:DC:06:49"
|
/etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
| Code: |
#
# HCI daemon configuration file.
#
# HCId options
options {
# Automatically initialize new devices
autoinit yes;
# Security Manager mode
# none - Security manager disabled
# auto - Use local PIN for incoming connections
# user - Always ask user for a PIN
#
security auto;
# Pairing mode
# none - Pairing disabled
# multi - Allow pairing with already paired devices
# once - Pair once and deny successive attempts
pairing multi;
# Default PIN code for incoming connections
#passkey "1234";
}
# Default settings for HCI devices
device {
# Local device name
# %d - device id
# %h - host name
name "BlueZ (%d)";
# Local device class
class 0x000100;
# Default packet type
#pkt_type DH1,DM1,HV1;
# Inquiry and Page scan
iscan enable; pscan enable;
# Default link mode
# none - no specific policy
# accept - always accept incoming connections
# master - become master on incoming connections,
# deny role switch on outgoing connections
lm accept;
# Default link policy
# none - no specific policy
# rswitch - allow role switch
# hold - allow hold mode
# sniff - allow sniff mode
# park - allow park mode
lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park;
}
device 00:22:41:DC:06:49 {
name "applekeys";
auth enable;
encrypt enable;
}
|
/etc/bluetooth/pin
Of course, 1234 is the code I enter (on the Apple bt keyboard) when I try to pair the kayboard...
When I push ENTER, I get that error: Can't create HID control channel: connection refused.
Any help would be appreciated...
thanks! |

Hi,
I resolved bluetooth authentification issues with PIN by creating in /var/lib/bluetooth/xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (for MAC bluetooth host address of hcix) a text file named pincodes where I write, one by line, the MAC address of the bluetooth devices I want to pair with, separated by a space and the pincode to use. For you it will be
| Code: | | 00:22:41:DC:06:49 1234 |
With that, every bluetooth host communication using hcix to pair with this remote device it correctly authentificated. This is the only way I am sure to succeed for pincodes exchanges between remote and host for bluetooth. If your authentification with your bluetooth keyboard failed, I understand that the host "Can't create HID control channel: connection refused".

Thank you, this just made my day. Amazing how much easier it is to create a little text file as opposed to clicking through three or four menus 20 times...
