Pairing with kbluetooth

Here is the use case I saw: I try to run ‘gammu identify’ from commandline, it finds my phone, the phone asks if I want to pair with my notebook, I say yes, it asks for a pin code, and whatever I answer, the pairing fails.

Looks like the way it works is the other direction: start kbluetooth, choose settings, devices, then set the mode to discoverable (for 3 mins, that should be enough). Then go to paired devices on the phone, choose delete pairing, then add the notebook again, it will ask for a pin and pairing will succeed.

A bit weird, but it works at least.

Have you checked why is this so?

Looks like your notebook cannot fire up the dialog asking you to enter the pin of your handheld. This is not the way eg. in Ubuntu, which tells one thing for me: it can be done, but we have not done it properly yet. It would be the best if we could do it, but I could not figure it out how to do so.

Actually I think it used to work, but I don't have time right now to bisect which upgrade introduced the breakage.

Given that I had to figure out this workaround multiple time, I just thought about sharing it.
