bluetooth

[mahmoodkamal]

How can i use bluetooth in LXDE?

[daniel]

use blueman

Full featured bluetooth manager for GNOME/GTK
Blueman is designed to provide simple, yet effective means for
controlling BlueZ API and simplifying bluetooth tasks such as:

* Connecting to 3G/EDGE/GPRS via dial-up
* Connecting to/Creating bluetooth networks
* Connecting to input devices
* Connecting to audio devices
* Sending/Receiving/Browsing files via OBEX
* Pairing

Blueman also integrates with Network Manager 0.7, so any Dialup/Network
 connections will be made available (via HAL) to Network Manager.

Good luck

Kindly help

What the messages from with commands...

Code: [Select]

lsmod | grep bluetooth
and

Code: [Select]

lshal | grep bluetooth
You are sure, that bluetooth is running?

If libbluez3 installed?

[mahmoodkamal]

lsmod output:

[root@localhost mahmood]# lsmod | grep bluetooth

lshal output:

both of the above commands were run after doing 'su' since lsmod was unexecutable from my id.

I checked, libbluez3 is installed.

when i ran blueman-manager from root, the following output was shown:

[root@localhost mahmood]# blueman-manager

Okay, here ends my ideas, sorry, maybe a other user has more informations for you

[mahmoodkamal]

I tried Pardus 2011, and I managed to use bluetooth device, which shows that my device is OK. can it be because PCLOS has kernel 2.6.33 while Pardus has 2.6.37???

[longtom]

Update your kernel and find out. 

[mahmoodkamal]

how to update it 

[Texstar]

OK. In a terminal,

su -
bluetoothd -u
exit
exit

Now check Bluetooth Manager and see if your device is listed.

[longtom]

how to update it  

Go to synaptic and search for "kernel"  Choose the one you desire.

But first listen what the boss has to say:

OK. In a terminal,

su -
bluetoothd -u
exit
exit

Now check Bluetooth Manager and see if your device is listed.

[mahmoodkamal]

after 'su -' and 'bluetoothd -u'

i checked using lsusb:


[root@localhost ~]# lsusb

Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

when i exited from root and went back to my id:
