Trying to connect to my bluetooth headset on a new Ubuntu Edgy install (have'nt touched any of the /etc/bluetooth/*.conf files)
I looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup for guidance
When my headseat is in pairing mode, if try
sudo hidd --search
I get totally no output, not even the "No devices in range or visible" that I get when the headset is off.
But if I try
sudo hcitool scan
then my headest is recognized
aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff BT Headset-12
If I try then
sudo hidd --connect aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
I get the error message
Can't get device information: Permission denied
Tried also
sudo hcitool cc aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
but got error message
Can't create connection: Input/output error
Output of sudo hciconfig -a is:

For some reason, edgy has an hcid.conf that requires bluez-passkey-gnome
in order to work but they don't install the package by default. Check
your setup.
I wrote in some detail how to get audio working without the kernel
module. I linked it from the page you referenced.

I've never bothered with the hidd stuff. I do get the same "No devices..."
message for hidd --search with my headset turned on even though it works
just fine.
I've just install the bluez-btsco package (sudo aptitude install
bluez-btsco). Try running
btsco -v aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
and see whether it can connect to your headset. The first time you do this,
you should be prompted for the pin.
Good luck
Arthur
