Hello, would you please help me?

I'm trying to get an apple wireless mouse working on the apple ibook (g4, builtin usb).

I've got the debian bluez packages installed, actually

sudo apt-get install apt-cache search bluez |cut -f1 -d' '

(yeah, lazy maybe..)

and I've also got libs2 and utils2 installed from cvs.

Until I ran hid2hci I didn't see anything with hcitool, but hid2hci seemed to work fine.

Now running hcitool dev gives me
Devices:

        hci0    00:0D:93:04:19:15

I'm experimenting with running bthid (from bluez cvs utils2). /var/log/daemon.log has

Feb 13 17:42:20 slowstorm bthid[980]: Bluetooth HID service started

but little else.
Once it got

Feb 13 17:25:20 slowstorm bthid[890]: Bluetooth HID service started
Feb 13 17:26:49 slowstorm bthid[890]: Connected: HID device (ffff:0000)
Feb 13 17:26:49 slowstorm bthid[890]: Connection failed: Connection timed out (110)

..but that's all.

I'm also repeatedly grepping ps aux for bthid and it only appears for a couple of minutes after starting it, then it's not there (so I usually restart it).

I don't see any cursor movement or anything. I don't know so much about bluetooth or about computers in general.

For a kernel, I use Linux 2.6.3-rc2-ben1 (on ppc).

lsmod indicates that uinput, hci_usb,rfcomm,l2cap and bluetooth are loaded. I've created /dev/input/uinput with mknod as per http://www.bueche.ch/comp/mx900/mx900.html

I had the mouse working under Mac OS X before I installed Debian.

What are the other steps I need to take before I can start using the mouse?

Thanks very much in advance, Sunnan

The Apple Bluetooth mouse expects a PIN or a link key even if you only connect to the SDP service (security mode 3). This is stupid for a HID mouse, but they did it this way. A working PIN is "0000". So I say you replace your PIN helper program (from hcid.conf) with the following executable script

	#!/bin/sh
	echo "PIN:0000"

and put also "0000" into /etc/bluetooth/pin. Restart the hcid and see how it goes. If this don't work, run "hcidump -w <file>" and send us the dump file.

Regards

Marcel

One of the more interesting(?) entries in my /var/log/daemon.log after doing this was:

but never quit. I checked dump.data with wc from time to time but it never appeared to get any largers.

I got childishly impatient after a couple of minutes and hit C-c. I attached the file anyway. Is it supposed to take very long time? If so, I could give it another go. Thanks for your patience.

This is correct, because you have to terminate it with CTRL-C.

Hi again,
after rebooting and loading my modules (and starting hcid, sdpd and rfcomm, the latter probably unnecessary but I'm erring on the side of caution?), I run:
sudo hcidump -w dumpdata

but just get:

HCIDump - HCI packet analyzer ver 1.5
Can't attach to device hci0. No such device(19)

and it exits without writing anything to the file.

and "hciconfig -a" exits silently.

then I run hid2hci anyway, it prints:
Switching device 05ac:1000 to HCI mode was successful

and then I can do hcidump -w dumpdata
which gives me to stdout:
HCIDump - HCI packet analyzer ver 1.5
device: hci0 snap_len: 1028 filter: 0xffffffff

I had wait a while before it wrote anything to the file. Then I waited a bit more, and it wrote a bit more. This is normal. I've attached the file.

Quoted 3 lines

I don't know what kind of module this is. Please run "hcidump -w <file>" before running "hciconfig -a" and send us the dump. Maybe we have a big endian problem here. What bluez-utils version do you have installed?

2.4-6 from Debian sid, as well as utils2 from bluez cvs. hciconfig comes from that cvs checkout (though I have two version in my path, the cvs version takes precedence, while hcidump comes out of Edds bluez-hcidump package, version 1.5-2 for debian sid.

I'm sorry, but it wasn't possible since hcidump wouldn't write one, as described above.

the version of utils2 have a big endian problem, which I have now fixed in CVS. Try your version from bluez-utils-2.4. Better you call it with the full path "/sbin/hciconfig -a".

this looks much better now. Your laptop contains a CSR chip with the Bluetooth 1.2 AFH feature. Very nice.

Do you got your mouse working?

Hello again,

Quoted 1 line · Marcel Holtmann

Do you got your mouse working?

No, not at all. bthid keeps turning itself off (silently disappearing from "ps aux|grep bthid" after a while) and I'm not sure how to see if or how the mouse connects to the computer. is the dev from hcitool dev my bluetooth chip or the mouse? where will the mouse show up, under /dev/input/mice or what? I don't really get this basic stuff yet.

I read and followed
http://www.bueche.ch/comp/mx900/mx900.html
and also read most of
http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/hid.html
but I don't really know how to interpret it.

Hi Sunnan,

Quoted 5 lines

No, not at all. bthid keeps turning itself off (silently disappearing from "ps aux|grep bthid" after a while) and I'm not sure how to see if or how the mouse connects to the computer. is the dev from hcitool dev my bluetooth chip or the mouse? where will the mouse show up, under /dev/input/mice or what? I don't really get this basic stuff yet.

the "hcitool dev" shows your local device. The syslog will show your mouse if it is connected. Take a look at the latest posts on the mailing list about an Apple keyboard. I think it is the same PIN problem.

Regards

Marcel

Hi Sunnan,

Quoted 8 lines

slowstorm/home/sunnan% grep pin /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf

         pin_helper /usr/local/bin/pin-helper.sh;

slowstorm/home/sunnan% cat /usr/local/bin/pin-helper.sh #!/bin/sh
echo "PIN:0000"
slowstorm/home/sunnan% cat /etc/bluetooth/pin 0000

is the script executable? Do you restarted hcid?

Quoted 3 lines

could it be that the mouse has been used under OS X? The weird OS X ui blathered something about "pairing" and so on. I haven't used it for a few months so I don't really remember how it was.

Could be, but in general it would pair again in this case.

Quoted 2 lines

I do keep my mouse close at hand, and I've tried turning it on and off and clicking and moving. I don't see what is supposed to happen.

We really need a full binary hcidump to see what is going on.

Regards

Marcel

I've sent several to the list but I'm unsure of how large they are supposed to get before I C-c. I'm attaching one larger now (still only 4 k... they just don't get very large.). (Are my attachment's getting through? Maybe they are stripped somewhere.)

There's been some progress since the last mail. I've run "hcitool scan" a couple of times, and _one_ of the times it showed:
slowstorm/home/sunnan% hcitool scan
Scanning ...

        00:0A:95:01:5F:57       sunnan???s mouse

Argh! Why did I give it a name with an apostrophe! Oh, Mac OS, thou tempted me to many strange filenames, some even including spaces! (Note the hexadecimal device number is different from my local device, which is 00:0D:93:04:19:15.)

All the other times it just exited after writing "Scanning ...". I've been unable to find it again.

As usual, bthid is just quitting after a while without saying so in /var/log/daemon.log.

Hello again,
I still haven't gotten my mouse to work (I know! sorry). One of the herrings I'm chasing is the name, is the problem the weird characters in the devices name? if so, can it be renamed?

Or is this completely silly of me and there's something altogether different that's wrong?

I've been able to find it more often with hcitool by clicking/moving it while hcitool is searching.

Still no success with bthid, it has never given me anything else than

Feb 15 23:30:04 slowstorm bthid[1035]: Bluetooth HID service started
Feb 15 23:30:30 slowstorm bthid[1035]: Connection failed: Host is down (112)

when I try to connect to my mouse with sudo bthid -c 00:0A:95:01:5F:57

and bthid loves to just exit all the time.

this must be some Apple specific option. I like to know how it can be done, but it has nothing to do with your device working or not.

I think this is an endian problem. From the last dump you send me I saw

< ACL data: handle 0x002d flags 0x02 dlen 24

    L2CAP(d): cid 0x42 len 20 [psm 1]
        SDP SSA Req: tid 0x1 len 0xf
          pat uuid-16 0x0012
          max 0xffff
          aid(s) 0xffff - 0x0000
          cont 00
Quoted 1 line

          cnt 0x3 len 0x3 frm->len 0x1 n 0x0
          cont 00

The UUID of the HID service and the attribute id's of the request are wrong. If it can't find the SDP record for the HID service, it can't setup the HID descriptor and make your mouse working, but I don't know why the bthid process exits.

Hi Sunnan,

make sure your mouse is visible.

This can't work, because you try to connect to your local device ;)

Hi Sunnan,

Quoted 5 lines

2.4-6 from Debian sid, as well as utils2 from bluez cvs. hciconfig comes

from that cvs checkout (though I have two version in my path, the cvs version takes precedence, while hcidump comes out of Edds bluez-hcidump package, version 1.5-2 for debian sid.

the version of utils2 have a big endian problem, which I have now fixed in CVS. Try your version from bluez-utils-2.4. Better you call it with the full path "/sbin/hciconfig -a".

Regards

Marcel
