Thanks for the hint.
Tried
sudo btsco -v aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
At first, got this reply:
Error: hwdep next device (hw:0): Operation not permitted
Error: control open (hw:1): No such device
Error: Can't find device. Bail
Then, googling a bit, I thught I should load the snd_bt_sco module, after i did that, the btsco -v command above gives me back
btsco v0.42
Device is 1:0
Error: Failed to connect to SDP server: Permission denied
Assuming channel 2
Voice setting: 0x0060
Can't connect RFCOMM channel: Permission denied
What do I miss?

Hi Paolo
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
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

Ah, sorry, forgot about that. Just add it snd_bt_sco to your /etc/modules to
make it load at boot time.
after i did that, the btsco -v command above gives me back

I'd say that's where you should get asked for the pin. I'm using KDE
together with kbluetoothd. There's also a process 'sdpd' running which
handles service discovery (as far as I know). I can't remember having
configured those manually. "/etc/init.d/bluez-utils start" gets called at
startup. Also check with the documentation of your headset on how to
initiate pairing. More doesn't come to my mind for the moment.
