bluetooth

[Valikhan]

I am just wondering to some things in 2008. Everything works fine except such small things as remote control and bluetooth.

 

I cannot run bluetooth from PC.

 

[root@localhost indi]# hid2hci

No devices in HCI mode found

[root@localhost indi]# hciconfig

hci0: Type: USB

BD Address: 00:11:67:2C:D0:4F ACL MTU: 678:8 SCO MTU: 48:10

My phone does not see computer. And that icon in right upper corner just blue highlighted. Clicking on it do nothing, right click brings about program and quit.

Try right clicking the bluetooth icon then go to Configuration and click on Devices. Change the mode to Discoverable, then try again with your phone.

I use GNOME.

 

I have mentioned before right click brings only "About program" and "Quit". No configuration, no any other options.

Ok. Once i deleted all bluetooth devices in the phone, I scanned for new devices. Found PC bluetooth and typed 1234 which is default password. No luck, connection failed. Scanned for new devices again and ran command passkey-agent --default /bin/bluepin, Typed 1234 and PC seems awoke offering me to type password, I put 1234 and I have PC paired with phone. Then nothing again, I cannot send files from the phone to PC, "No devices found". And no options to send files from PC to the phone as before. However, PC got my phone...

Ok.

After all I did (see above) I went to MCC>Browse and configure hardware just to check again. Ohh, I got bluetooth device in there! Mandriva immediately asked me to install kdebluetooth (kde? I use gnome). I installed that and now I can send files from PC to the dongle via OBEX.

But I cannot send files from the phone to PC. I have installed all kde and gnome packages related to bluetooth. I put PC in visible and discoverable mode. It discoverable in the phone - I got PC under two names: localhost-0 or Computer. Then nothing. Either no active devices found or sending failed. So I can send from PC to the phone but cannot from the phone to PC.
