bluetooth

[Neal ManBear]

I have no bluetooth devices and thus no experience with them.

Did you update your kernel?
I use the latest kernel, too, and my bluetooth works well...

[mahmoodkamal]

this is my info:

[mahmood@localhost ~]$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.33.7-pclos6.bfs #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Oct 21 22:42:28 CDT 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Is there any version of kernel after this?

I was checking on the error, found the following thread which appears to have similar problem to mine:

http://blueman-project.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=205

Can someone explain to me what is happening

[Neal ManBear]

New kernel in the repos:
http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,88231.0.html

This is from the Software Announcements section, a good place to get news about what updates and new stuff is coming.

[mahmoodkamal]

thanks,

updated the kernel. let me see how it turns out to be.

[mahmoodkamal]

still same. however, i will try to see the blueman site to figure out a solution.

do you think compiling myself can solve the problem

Unless you can fully support yourself for any problems, compiling your own is not advisable.

Just an update.

I installed KDE also and blueman is working fine with it  the applet showed up in the panel from the start and it  is working.

Can anyone shed some light, why the same thing did not work in LXDE

[Neal ManBear]

No idea, mahmoodkamal. Have you tried it in LXDE since adding KDE?

for me, BT is working out of the box without any issue in both GNOME and KDE, but not LXDE. In any case, i will keep trying and will post a solution (if I find one!).

This brought my bluetooth up after exiting it by mistake after installing blueman in LXDE 2012.

Do you mean in Blueman? If so, install:

libobexftp0
obexd
obexftp

Go to Blueman -> Local Services




File sharing (FTP) must be enabled! Advanced -> pcmanfm obex://[%d] -> Apply



When clicking (in the main Blueman window) Send file(s) to the device or Browse the device using obex ftp button, PCmanFM will open:
