Short story: I'm still willing to provide $20 for a walkthrough. Long story: I had the following problems: Wendell MacKenzie - mackendw@sympatico.ca wrote: > This helped me: > > http://www.gurulabs.com/goodies/Using_Linux_and_Bluetooth_DUN_with_the_Treo650.php > That page is set up for Red Hat. Debian doesn't have the bluez-pin package, and its hcid.conf is a little different: it contains the PIN, and doesn't have a dbus_pin_helper (not in any of the packages, either). There's also no system-config-security-level. Nevertheless, everything seems to go well, until I enter my PIN. Even when I set up the "feed-pin.sh" file, I get an error dialog on the Treo 680 titled "Bluetooth Security": "Unable to add ComputerName-0 to your trusted device list."

The Palm pieces seem more relevant to my Treo; however, the Treo seems to already have a Bluetooth HotSync profile. It has a nice little tutorial that, after the equivalent of figure 5-8, says I have to set up a virtual serial port on my computer. I assume that's what hcid, pand, and rfcomm are doing, and carry on. Actually clicking the "Launch HotSync" button leads to a message: "Connecting with the desktop using ComputerName-0", followed by an error dialog titled "HotSync Problem": "Unable to initiate HotSync operation because the port is in use by another application." I assume this is because it never asked for a PIN, but I just don't know. When I carry on, adding the /etc/bluetooth/pin file as instructed in Chapter 6, I get the same "Unable to add" message as above. Since $20 is at stake, and I'm awake, I figured I'd give it another try. I installed bluez-gnome and ran the bluetooth-applet from the command line. From there I enabled "Automatically authorize incoming requests". This time when I tried to add the computer to my trusted devices, the bluetooth-applet prompted me for a passkey; when I had entered the same passkey on both devices, it claimed to have verified my phone. Unfortunately, I still got the "port is in use" error. I went back through the second link, added my computer as a network, and tried to follow the setup in Chapter 7.1 for surfing the web (because Chapter 7.2 says that I need the pppd set up here), but I don't have sdpd running, and I don't know where to find it.
