[gutsy] can't pair headset

[Joachim Beckers]

I've installed gbtsco 0.2 on ubuntu gutsy with kernel 2.6.22-6 and the matching modules. I can successfully run it and it finds my headset. however, when trying to activate it, no pairing happens. the headset stays in pairing mode (until it gives up) and gbtsco keeps trying to pair.

the issue seems not to be in gbtsco however:

I'm thinking this might be caused by bluez-btsco being to old. the kernel stuff was updated to 0.5 in the fix for Bug #117758: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22/+bug/117758/comments/7

bluez-btsco is at 0.50-0ubuntu2, but:

root@madkeunnen:~# btsco -v 00:02:76:BA:C2:F8
btsco v0.42
Device is 1:0

hmm, noticed this bug has a workaround:

marking as dupe

tried the workaround in the other bug, but it doesn't apply to gutsy. unmarking as dupe.

this is fixed for me in hardy
