How do I manually mount a linux file system read/write as a normal user? Any idea whether this should work with EXT3 as well? I get EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option "uid=1000" or missing value in dmesg when I try it with ext3. |

Finding Bluetooth link key in Windows 7, to double pair a device on dualboot computer So the drivers are the same as the "bluetooth stack"? I wonder why Windows didn't find the drivers for the bluetooth adapter on the first time then. Oh well, in a surprising turn of events, BTW, the Toshiba BT adapter actually physically broke today, and I had to get a new one. :) Well, the same procedure still works. |

Finding Bluetooth link key in Windows 7, to double pair a device on dualboot computer Yes! The problem was that the Toshiba stack saved its keys into some other location. Key revelation for me was that I can remove the Toshiba stack but still have my bluetooth dongle working. After switching to Microsoft stack, the link key was found in the location SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\BTHPORT\Parameters\Keys\[BD_ADDR] and it could be copied into linux side, just as the forum post I linked described. I can now confirm that my phone is now correctly working as double paired to both windows and linux side. |

Finding Bluetooth link key in Windows 7, to double pair a device on dualboot computer Well, I removed the Toshiba bluetooth stack, but the bluetooth adapter still works, now with Microsoft stack. Interesting. I assume the Toshiba stack and Toshiba drivers are independent, but the installer installed both of them without ever asking me if I'm interested in the stack at all (which I really wasn't). Ok, now to see if the pairing works, and if the pairing key can be found from the place where it should be... |

Finding Bluetooth link key in Windows 7, to double pair a device on dualboot computer Well, Windows didn't find any of its own drivers when I first plugged in the device - I'd rather use Microsoft than third party drivers. But since Windows didn't find them, I had to get the Toshiba drivers. They also happen to be some really annoying trial version (the drivers that came with the device didn't have a Win7 version), so I would be more than happy to get rid of them... |

Finding Bluetooth link key in Windows 7, to double pair a device on dualboot computer I'm not sure if it's possible to switch to Microsoft stack. At least my BT device required Toshiba drivers to work - does this mean it would also require Toshiba BT stack? I'm not at all familiar with the driver/stack distinction. |

Finding Bluetooth link key in Windows 7, to double pair a device on dualboot computer I'm using Toshiba's bluetooth stack. It could be it stores the keys somewhere else - but if there indeed is a place for them in the registry, it's strange Toshiba would not use that. |

Finding Bluetooth link key in Windows 7, to double pair a device on dualboot computer There's some data in CurrentControlSet\Enum\BTHENUM but I don't know what to make of it. Three subkeys in format of {a1b2c3d4-a1b2-a1b2-a1b2-a1b2c3d4e5f6}_LOCALMFG&0000, each of them containing an identical subkey 7&a1b2c3d4&0&000000000000_00000000 which has some 6 values and subkeys LogConf and Properties. None of these I can identify as the BD_ADDR of a device. The Properties subkey has access denied by default - it contains 5 subkeys (same for each 3 subkey trees) in format of {a1b2c3d4-a1b2-a1b2-a1b2-a1b2c3d4e5f6}, which contain some subkeys that don't seem significant. |

Finding Bluetooth link key in Windows 7, to double pair a device on dualboot computer Ok, I also changed owner to the group "Administrators", and tried rebooting - no difference. I guess one difference could be I'm running Windows 7 starter edition, but I'd imagine that wouldn't affect anything like this. Not sure if UAC can be turned off in Starter. Further, I also tried to do the same to ControlSet002, and there the [...]\Keys also didn't contain any subkeys even though when accessing that from linux with chntpw -e the subkeys (BD_ADDR's, one for each device) are there as I described, but don't contain any values. |

Finding Bluetooth link key in Windows 7, to double pair a device on dualboot computer Yes, I have and had the phone (plus two other devices) paired to windows. I wasn't connected to any of them at the time, though - I figure that couldn't matter since the key has to be stored in any case. |
