I am using Debian (Unstable). An enquiry over bluetooth, using hcitool inq
shows that my mobile phone is visible.

However, if I go to the phone and scan for bluetooth devices, it says that
no devices are found, and does not list my computer as visible. Normally
it lists all bluetooth devices in the area.

On the computer, ps -ef reveals that the following processes are running:

root       993     1  0 Apr23 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/bluetoothd mark 
   16332     1  0 Apr26 ?        00:00:00 obexpushd

Should the computer be visible to the phone at this point, or do I have to
enter a command to the computer visible?

Here is some output I get from various tools:

cat /proc/version

I still can't see the computer from the phone though. How do I make the
computer visible to the phone?

Mark.
