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
