I use fedora12-Gnome as my major desktop OS. Every basic need was fulfilled , until I tried Fedora12 KDE. The problem is with Bluetooth connectivity to my cell phone device. It connects to the cell phone and set trusted but I can't seem to see any option of "Browse files on Device". Does that mean in KDE I actually can not browse my Bluetooth connected devices?
View 1 RepliesDolphin does not currently browse bluetooth devices, and they are not automatically mounted or seen as potentially mountable. [As an interesting aside, I ran into a snag pairing my phone: I can initiate pairing for the first time, with pin and all, from the phone, but I cannot initiate such pairing from the computer. This behavior is identical under KDE and Gnome. Does anyone have a clue why? Both devices were bluetooth visible, so that isn't the problem.]
However, it is still possible to browse bluetooth devices, provided they have been paired, by executing obexfs -b <bluetooth address> <user-writeable mount point>. Unmounting is done through fusermount -u <mountpoint>. Now it seems to me to be very easy to extend Dolphin's functionality (and the device detecting/mounting application) to include the above behavior automatically. Case in point, Nautilus has no problem doing all that.
So, I'd like to file a bug report and prod the appropriate instances, but given that google searches on this issue bring up mostly old pages, I wonder whether anyone know whether (a) this is a KDEBluetooth issue, (b) a Dolphin issue, (c) a Fedora packaging issue, (d) other (please specify).

I have a Samsung Hue SCH-R500 that works fine transferring files as long as I use a windows machine to do the work.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've been tinkering around with Linux over the past couple weeks. I've played arodn with both Ubuntu 10.10 and Linux Mint 10 and it's been a 99% positive experience. I have noticed an issue regarding my internet connection.
I've noticed when I download a file in Ubuntu (either from the software manager, BitTorrent or just a regular download in Firefox), browsing the web on my computer becomes near impossible. The download itself runs at a good speed for our DSL connection (around 200 KB/sec) but anything else near a standstill. Just loading ESPN.com on my PC can take a minute or two. Someone else playing a game in the house will go from a regular 100-200 ms ping to 5000+ right when the download starts. When I stop the download, internet browsing and gaming speeds go right back to normal.
The weird thing is the same thing happened when I installed Linux Mint 10. When I boot into my Vista partition, this isn't an issue. Downloading a file in Vista doesn't affect anything, but it's happening every time in both Ubuntu and Linux Mint.
What methods exits to restrict which directories a user may browse on the filesystem. I want to prevent php scripts from being able to view system files. I've seen two solutions, but neither are satisfactory:Chrooting a directory that the script is in, but this requires that all the necessary php libraries/files are moved/copied into the right place relative to the chroot directory. I don't feel that I have the technical ability to achieve this.Putting php into safe mode and disabling *nasty* php functions. But this is ineffective if just one obscure *bad* php function is missed.

I am running Linux Mint 9 (based on Ubuntu Lucid) and Apache2. I would rather just be limited to using Nautilus to connect to the HTTP server using a password.

I installed Fedora 14 XFCE last weekend on my laptop..been putting in a little time here and there into customizing it, as I was trying to make it my new main OS, when suddenly today it suffered a complete meltdown that I have no idea where to start in trying to fix it. All I was doing was browsing through the desktop themes. I hit a certain theme, don't know which one, and the screen went blank. X then looked like it was trying to restart, then blank again. Then X looked like it was restarting, and blank..and repeat endlessly. I tried turning the laptop off and then turning it back on again.same result. Now I basically have a dead system, practically speaking, because I can't use it.
Putting aside the fact that it is immensely frustrating to have a Linux OS choke and die on me just from browsing through the preset desktop themes, does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this, aside from doing another fresh install? The only way I can think of to fix it would be to login into some kind of rescue mode (which I don't know how to do), get to a shell prompt, find the right config file (which I have no clue about, either), and fix the settings to where it will at least boot up, then I can select the default theme and never touch the themes again.
After that I suppose I should put in a bug report or something to Fedora about this -- that is, if I can reproduce it. Maybe that'd be at least some compensation, since I had high hopes for Fedora when I decided to try it, but this sort of crash-and-burn is just utterly disappointing.
I am facing a problem in browsing website with F15 installation, both firefox and chrome browsers give me a headache. The main website that cannot be accessed is facebook.com, I only can browse it in certain of time after clearing cache, cookies and histories, this only happen for facebook web only.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've run into a little problem, for which I seem to be unable to find an answer. The concept is the following: one machine runs a python script which advertises itself as 'OBEX File Transfer' and receives incoming data, using the Lightblue python module. The script itself is slightly different, but here's an example which effectively works in the same way:
[Code]....
print "Saved received file to MyFile.txt!" This works fine, though I would like to retain the original filename that is being sent to the machine, instead of overwriting a fixed file. Generating a new name wouldn't be such a problem, if I could get the MIME type or filename which is (presumably) being sent in the header of the request. Does anyone know of a way in python to receive incoming files and retain their filenames via Bluetooth?
