UCDKid Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hello, So I am running Skype on Mandriva 2008 and really liked it so I decided to purchase their pro service and an Internet phone. Mandriva recognizes the phone as a USB sound device, but I cannot get the cordless handset to connect to the base that is connected to the USB port on the PC. The software that comes with the phone is for windows and works for windows(all it does is pair the handset with the base), so I know it is not the phone. Anyone had any experience getting one of these phones to work with Mandriva? I searched around quite a bit online and wasnt able to find anything. Perhaps there is a linux equivalent for this software that I am just not finding? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joste Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Is it a bluetooth connection then? If so do you have bluetooth installed and running? If you do then pairing them manually shouldn't be too hard, though last time I tried it on this box it was a PITA but was ok on my laptop (both running Mandriva).

UCDKid Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 No it is actually a USB connection-- USB connects transmitter to pc, phone pairs with transmitter. Mandriva recognizes the phone as a usb sound device, but the phone base and the phone do not pair. The phone comes with a software that pairs the phone with the base, but the software is for windows.
