Strange bluetooh problem kde minime on toshiba satellite L655-121

[niculinux]

I installed the kde minime 32 bit on my 64 bit laptop and got same bluetooth problem. And I got the following problem, same went on the 64 bit zen mini test 2 iso, and kde test 04 iso relased on september 2011, so I guess it's a problem common to every pclinuxos version, it may be a matter of kernel and/or configuration.

 I hunted high and low, and at #linuxcaffe (Freenode IRC channel) got the following solution:


first they told me to check out the   /etc/init.d/ directory

Code: [Select]

[nico@localhost init.d]$ ls
acpid*               halt*                             netconsole*          reboot@
alsa*                 ip6tables*                     netfs*                  resolvconf*
apmiser*           iptables*                       network*             saslauthd*
apt*                  irqbalance*                   network-auth*      shorewall*
atd*                  kheader*                      network-up*         single*
atieventsd*       killall*                           nscd*                  sound*
avahi-daemon*  laptop-mode*                ntpd*                  syslog*
bpalogin*          mandi*                          numlock*            udev-post*
cpufreq*            mandrake_everytime*   partmon*            ultrabayd*
crond*               mandrake_firstime*      portreserve*       uuidd*
dm*                  messagebus*                 powersaved*      wlan*
functions          msec*                           pppoe*               xfs*
haldaemon*       mysqld*                        pptp*                 xinetd*         

at first glance, seems there's nothing about bluetooth,  maybe it is not set to execute the service a t boot ( I really don't know???)

though in the 2.6.38.8bfs kernel (32 and 64 bit) seems the module from my adapter is present

Code: [Select]

lsmod | grep blue
output:

Code: [Select]

bluetooth              51698  8 sco,bnep,l2cap,btusb
toshiba_bluetooth       1598  0
 rfkill                 12694  2 bluetooth

I'm using a toshiba bluetooh built-in adapter in my laptop

(before I solved I installed also the rfkill package but didn't know if it were necessary)


seems that bluetooth is not correcty set to run from the start up. In fact using hciconfig

Code: [Select]

[nico@localhost ~]$  hciconfig -a
hci0:   Type: BR/EDR  Bus: USB
        BD Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00  ACL MTU: 0:0  SCO MTU: 0:0
        DOWN
        RX bytes:34 acl:0 sco:0 events:3 errors:0
        TX bytes:12 acl:0 sco:0 commands:4 errors:0
it' off (donw)

typing as root

Code: [Select]

# hciconfig hci0 up
will activate bluetooth:

Code: [Select]

[nico@localhost ~]$  hciconfig -a
hci0:   Type: BR/EDR  Bus: USB
        BD Address: E8:39:DF:40:37:DE  ACL MTU: 1021:8  SCO MTU: 64:1

and magically my cellphone is detected

Code: [Select]

[nico@localhost ~]$ hcitool scan
Scanning ...
        BC:85:1F:51:65:FC       GalaxyS
[nico@localhost ~]$
so as it was suggested, here's a quickfix:

edit file /etc/rc.local

mine is

Code: [Select]

[nico@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh
#
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: rc.local
# X-Mandriva-Compat-Mode
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5

# Description: This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
#              You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
#              want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.
### END INIT INFO

touch /var/lock/subsys/local

modprobe snd-usb-audio

# Fix linkage to cdrom/dvd and permissons since udev is screwed
ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd > /dev/null 2>&1
ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom > /dev/null 2>&1
chmod 777 /dev/sr0 > /dev/null 2>&1
chown root:root /dev/sr0 > /dev/null 2>&1
chmod 777 /dev/sr1 > /dev/null 2>&1
chown root:root /dev/sr1 > /dev/null 2>&1
and add the following line at the bottom of the file under the section # Fix linkage to cdrom/dvd and permissons since udev is screwed:

Code: [Select]

hciconfig hci0 up
also blueman started to see my cellphone.

In the end: guess there's something wrong with udev and/or default config files in pclinuxos?

adding the line on xblacklight in /etc/rc.local not has no direct effect (...damn!!) But I solved, using the official version (kde) by adding it to /home/nico/.kde4/Autostart/ in a file that I made and called luminosita.sh and I made ​​it executable.

the kernel I use was the 2.6.38.8 pae and bfs
