Bluetooth Problem [Solved]
« on: August 27, 2011, 10:03:10 AM »
I recently purchased a Bluetooth adapter to use with my phone.

I've installed blueman and also have the following installed:

bluez
bluez-firmware
bluez-pin
libbluez3
obex-data-server

The seems the a bluetooth service is not being started.

Starting the blueman-manager I get:

Connection to BlueZ failed
Bluez daemon is not running, blueman-manager cannot continue.

I looked under services in the control center, but there is nothing
there related to bluetooth that I can see.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Perhaps installing bluewho would help.

Thanks Neil,

     But I found the problem.
The mini dongle was not inserted all the way. DUH!
The front usb ports on the Dell are under a flap and
a real pain. I have to lie on the floor and use a flashlight,
I had a heck of a time getting it out also.

I was able to transfer a file to the phone, but wasn't able
to get them to pair. I'll keep trying and let you know
if I need more assistance.

BTW, bluewho is pretty cool.

Thanks  ;D

My name is Neal, not Neil.

Please modify your first post in this thread to add [Solved] to the title.
