           Summary: bluedevil PIN never appears when adding device
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.6
          Platform: Debian unstable
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mh+kde-bugs at zugschlus.de


Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.4) 
OS:                Linux

When trying to pair a bluetooth device (here: a keyboard), the Bluetooth Device
Wizard seems to hang at the "Please introduce the PIN in your keyboard when it
appears and press enter" stage. The PIN never appears, it sits there with a
spinner in the part of the window where the PIN used to appear in earlier
versions.

I have also noticed that a scan for new devices just never finishes. One can
select a device to pair while the scan is still running, but it'll never stop
saying "Scanning..."


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Left click on bluetooth symbol in system tray. Select "add device". Select
"Bluetoth Keyboard" and select "Next".

Actual Results:  
"Please introduce the PIN in your keyboard when it appears and press enter"
with a spinner above.

Expected Results:  
A PIN that I could enter on the bluetooth keyboard to actually finish the
pairing.

Kernel is 2.6.39.2, but this has been broken for a while. hcitool scan will see
the keyboard just fine, so I believe that the hardware is OK, and the kernel
drivers are working in order as well.

If somebody explains to me how to manually pair the keyboard with command line
tools, I can try finding out whether this is a bluedevil or a driver issue.
