[Leaplist] How do I pair my bluetooth devices and my GNU/Linux box?

[andrei raevsky]

Hi Carter,

I did everything you told me to do and I tried pairing the devices, but it
did not work.  Here is the output of 'tail -f /var/log/syslog"

May 14 18:09:45 gNewSenseBox2 hcid[4670]: pin_code_request
(sba=00:15:83:BE:9E:F0, dba=00:18:C5:A1:7F:5E)
May 14 18:09:45 gNewSenseBox2 hcid[885]: PIN helper exited abnormally with
code 256

When I did "hcitool scan" I did see my cellophone:

Scanning ...
        00:18:C5:A1:7F:5E       Andrei

But no pairing request was detected by the phone.

Any ideas as to how I can fix this and finally make it work?

Many thanks again,

Andrei
