[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#416484: Same issue here, also from command line

[Ariel Garcia]

I have the same issue here, and in another form it has also been reported 
as Debian Bug #463711
   http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=463711

and elsewhere
   http://bugs.pardus.org.tr/show_bug.cgi?id=7500

(as reported in the other bug)
The KDE framework doesn't ask me for a pin but it also doesn't work from 
the command line as described in #463711

This issue is happening to me since at least a year, it was working fine 
before!! And yes, i checked tons of different settings, googled for it, 
spent hours on it and cannot find anything wrong in my setup. It simply 
doesn't work :-(
Devices which were paired earlier continue to work fine!! it is just new 
devices which i want to add which make problems!

No messages at all in any logs, in particular nothing logged 
in /var/log/daemon.log  after hcid started.

BTW: the workarrounds which worked for some people here didn't work for me 
either. Neither HIDD_ENABLED=1, nor 
    # hidd --connect 00:19:7F:0F:24:FD
    Can't get device information: Success

(great error message! ;-P)
