Slackware :: Bluez 4.64 Differences Between Hciconfig And Lt-hciconfig
May 3, 2010
why I get a symbol lookup error in hciconfig from the latest Bluez package in Slackware64-current. After installing and reinstalling the Slackware package I decided to try to compile the source from URL... After running ./configure and make I noticed that in the tools/.libs directory there was hciconfig and lt-hciconfig. hciconfig produces the same output as hciconfig from the Slackware package but lt-hciconfig does not. Anybody know what the difference is between these two programs?
I'd like to get the 13.0 "synchronized to <time server>, stratum <stratum>" messages back on 13.1.
- On 13.0, running ntpd 4.2.4p8, reassuring messages appeared in /var/log/messages like "synchronized to 211.233.84.186, stratum 2". - On 13.1, running ntpd 4.2.6p1, there are no messages in /var/log/messages to confirm that time is being synchronised.
rc.ntpd on both starts ntpd with the same options. /etc/ntp.conf is identical on both, a "get it working and then make it secure" version: Code: cat /etc/ntp.conf | grep -E -v '^$|^#' cat /etc/ntp.conf | grep -E -v '^$|^#' server in.pool.ntp.org server asia.pool.ntp.org server 127.127.1.0 fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10 driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
According to Linux Home Networking, synchronization can be checked using ntpq -p. This shows synchronization is working. I would prefer to see that confirmation in /var/log/messages without having to run a command manually to check it. How to get the old messages back?
I was using bluez-4.56 in an ARM based embedded product and was using PAN in NAP role. It was working fine.Few days back I tried using bluez-4.78, with the same CONF files that I had been using. However, the NAP refuses any PAN connection from the remote BT device.Before I go into details, I would like to just check if any of you guys also faced starting problems with PAN on bluez-4.78.
After some tracking and debugging I discovered that Bluez-4.67 works fine with the same setup as used for Bluez-4.56. However, luez-4.69 FAILS!! Bluez-4.68 seems to have some problem wherein the Bluetooth adapters are not even seen by our FW.So, something that changed for PAN between 4.67 and 4.69 seems to NOT work with the setup used for 4.67 and below. I see that NetworkServer is introduced in 4.69 onwards. If any Bluez developers out there OR some experts in Bluez PAN settings, how and what setup needs to be changed in Bluez-4.69 to make PAN profile work in NAP role?
Additional info: In Bluez-4.67 and below, our product publishes "Bluez GN Service", "Bluez-NAP Service", "Network Access Point" and "Serial Port" services. The same product built with Bluez-4.69 publishes only "Network Access Point" and "Serial Port" services !! The BT device on my laptop fails to connect to the "Network Access Point" service. Are there any basic setup changes that I need to do with bluez-4.78 as compared to bluez-4.56?
different versions of php, php-5.2.13-i486-2 "slackware-stable" and php-5.3.6-i486-1 "slackware-current", why dbase.so and mhash.so not in the version of php-5.3. 6-i486-1? see the differences below

where syncml resides in bluez or how i can use syncml with bluez to synchronize my phone and desktop or how I can integrate syncml with bluez? which packages and application should be required?
I have been using a ARM device with 512MB ram and flash to send messages via Bluetooth to everyone in the proximity. I am doing this with OpenProximity (Python) and it worked for the last week, it did stop for two times but since I didn't have time to find the cause, I just rebooted it (Windows style ) and it worked again, but suddenly it stopped working again last Saturday. When I did /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart it did not say it failed or something, but when I did /etc/init.d/bluetooth status it said "bluetooth is not running ... failed!". This is what I got in the syslog:
Code: Apr 27 13:52:45 debian bluetoothd[31243]: Bluetooth daemon 4.60 Apr 27 13:52:45 debian bluetoothd[31243]: Starting SDP server Apr 27 13:52:45 debian bluetoothd[31243]: Starting experimental netlink support Apr 27 13:52:45 debian bluetoothd[31243]: Failed to find Bluetooth netlink family Apr 27 13:52:45 debian bluetoothd[31243]: Failed to init netlink plugin Apr 27 13:52:45 debian bluetoothd[31243]: Can't create GN bridge
[Code]...
You'll probably note that the first message is version 4.60 and the second one 4.63, this is because I tried to upgrade, but that did not work completely, but the error above is the same as first before the upgrade.
Don't know if it matters, but I am using Debian Squeeze and the output of uname -a is: Linux debian 2.6.32.2 #1 PREEMPT Fri Dec 18 22:54:28 MST 2009 armv5tel GNU/Linux. Hope someone know how this could happen suddenly, and even better, knows how to fix it
EDIT: Forgot to say, I am using a SENA Parani UD100 Bluetooth USB Adapter which uses the Toshiba Bluetooth stack.
UPDATE: It won't crash until the Bluetooth stick is inserted, so it should be a driver problem?
I was trying to install bluez 4.69 for my bluetooth phone modem in my centos 5.5 and it says it needs glib 2.14 or above and then I downloaded glib 2.14 but no luck and tried glib 2.15 but same error.(My internet connection is through phone only so I cant use yum install so Im using another system running on windows and copying it to centos system)
I used to share my internet connection for my palm via bluetooth dund on opensuse 10.1. Now I upgraded to opensuse 11.2, and have been trying to configure the same for 5 hours, without success. The problem is: dund seems to be in bluez-utils, but this package does not seem to be available from the official opensuse 11.2 repo. It is available from an unofficial one, but that is version 3.x and it conflicts with the version 4.x package of bluez. So, I either have bluez 4.x or bluez-utils 3.x, whilst I would need both.
Is there a solution for this problem, or any other way to share internet via bluetooth? (All previous howtos seem to be rendered useless with the recent "developments" of bluez, but, hey, file sending to my palm still works to some extent, so, there is much room for more "developments" until bluetooth is rendered completely unuseable).
Edit: In a changelog at a RedHat site, I found that the bluez-utils package was integrated into the bluez package, and later some tools like dund were split out into a bluez-compat package. Maybe the same happened to bluez in opensuse, too. But I have both the bluez and the bluez-compat packages installed, and hcid and sdpd are nowhere. Where did they disappear during the very important re-organization of bluez tools?
Edit2: Kind of solved. Hcid was renamed to bluetoothd, and probably the other tools and config files changed names, too. Old howto's are in fact useless, and I am about to sacrifize my next days in order to become a blootooth expert just to configure this wrecked internet sharing.
hcidump -x does show Commands/Events received, beacons are being seen, and collected by our app.
> HCI Event: LE Meta Event (0x3e) plen 42 LE Advertising Report ADV_IND - Connectable undirected advertising (0) bdaddr F9:77:66:E8:F7:8B (Random) Flags: 0x06
[Code] ....
However when the app tries to connect it always gets connection refused at gatt_connect.
gatttool behaves the same way, and hcidump does not show any connection attempts, implying no connection between gatttool and the device, although it is specified on the command line.
Finally although the bluetoothd is running bluetoothctl also shows no default controller found. I had edited /etc/bluetooth/uart.conf, adding an hciattach entry for the device but that changed nothing when restarting the bluetoothd. Entering a garbage entry into that file does not produce any errors, so I am not sure it is even being read.
Also systemctl|grep bluetooth shows :-
sys-devices-virtual-bluetooth-hci0-rfkill0.device loaded active plugged /sys/devices/virtual/bluetooth/hci0/rfkill0 sys-devices-virtual-bluetooth-hci0.device loaded active plugged /sys/devices/virtual/bluetooth/hci0 sys-subsystem-bluetooth-devices-hci0.device loaded active plugged /sys/subsystem/bluetooth/devices/hci0 bluetooth.target loaded active active Bluetooth
/sys/devices/virtual/bluetooth/hci0/address shows the correct MAC, but /sys/subsystem/bluetooth/devices/hci0 does not exist, a post elsewhere indicated this was not a problem but that seems odd.
Is the uart.conf file still used([URL] .... would suggest yes) and if so is the format a full hciattach command or merely the hciattach parameters?
Seen as my ATI driver doesn't support Ubuntu 9.10 and neither does LinuxMCE [my two biggest bug bears at the moment] I am considering downgrading to Ubuntu 8.10.
I just wondered if there were any major differences or if I am likely to see any major issues because of things that were fixed or added to 9.10 that weren't available in 8.10.
I have a proprietary device - something like an iPad screen - which has a front panel display with touchscreen buttons that work internally as a USB keyboard. During testing/debugging I want to connect it to another keyboard via the external USB port.Any application which I open on the device by pressing some characters on the touchscreen accepts input codes from either USB keyboard. I want to limit the touchscreen USB keyboard input only to a specific set of apps.Is there a program which can help me detect which USB port or device the code is coming from? Or someway I can map one keyboard to send a different set of codes? The device is using Linux.
I've seen in the forums people prefer or dislike Gnome/KDE. I looked around and the differences seem to be cosmetic and not that complicated. Are there any differences "under the hood"? What I mean by this is maybe the way programs behave, user options, etc. or is it all cosmetic?
I am not having a problem but I was just wondering, now that 10.10 launch is coming nearer, whether or not to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10. 10.4 is working fine and the only real reason for me to upgrade would be a better boot time (is there a better boot time with 10.10?) ... or am I missing an other important reason?
I've used two internet services to show me my IP address, and I get different results:1. Whatsmyip.org : ***.**.109.***2. ipchicken.com : ***.**.111.***All the * numbers are same, except 109 and 111. (or link me to explanation) of which one's which?
My old Intrepid box got old and senile in the hardware, so I had to take it back round the shed and put her down.I buried her next to her favorite tree in the backyard. So yes, I got this new Mini ITX setup with a dual core Atom processor and 4 gigs of ram for my new computer. I'm going to use it as a media center in my living room. However Atom 1.6 ghz is no screamer so I'd like to build a system using a light weight operating environment to leave more power for running programs and playing my media.
I could install the latest version of Kubuntu again but I thought this time I'd try to get a bit deeper into Linux and educate myself. Could someone clarify the differences between XFree86, Window Manager, and a Desktop Environment (KDE/GNOME/etc)? I know it goes like Hardware -> XServer -> XFree86 -> Window Manager (I read the tutorial on linux.org). But where does KDE or a "Desktop Environment" come in? Is KDE a decked out window manager with its own programs that runs on top of XFree86 or what? Or does it totally replace XFree86?
I was wondering what are the main difference with these two languages? I mean besides just the syntax, only recently started looking at pascal. I find the syntax of Pascal nicer than C. So under the hood so to speak what are the differences? Also why do i see many look down at Pascal? Since C and C++ now are in more use than pascal, im guessing it offers something that Pascal and Object Pascal cant?
what the actual differences are between the different versions?Is it simply in the interface or does netbook have different services running by default, different hardware detection or anything else that makes the system run any differently? I know netbook doesn't have compiz installed by default but is the rest of the package set the same? I ask because I have been having various problems with boot and audio along with a few other niggles. I was running the desktop edition through the betas and the RC with no problems at all but I installed lucid final from a netbook edition iso and have done two more fresh installs from netbook iso and seem to be having a lot more issues.
I've got a slight problem here, and have had it for a while: When I use the "Sharp'N'Clear" .fonts.conf from Here, and set an optimized font like Arial, gtk-based applications render correctly, while Qt-based ones don't As you can see, the top window(Firefox) has it's fonts clean and nice. The bottom one(Dolphin) does not. Both are set to Arial 9. I've tried it with a number of different applications, including some custom PyQt4 stuff, and it's clear that it's -all- Qt-based applications and not just one or two.
For further information, I've had this problem ever since I upgraded from Kubuntu 9.10 a while back - That version worked correctly on both Qt and gtk, but nothing since has.
I took the simple approach and installed the gnome desktop, but I have read about KDE and Xfce and am curious. There may be a lot more that I just haven't heard about yet too. So the question is: Without doing a reinstall and messing up the downloads and settings I have now, how do I try a new desktop like Xfce or Kde? Also, what are the basic differences between the desktops?
I'm switching over to Ubuntu from Slackware and was just reading up on the differences between desktop and server. My main question is if I can still setup an x-server on the server box. If I can what do I need to do to make it as easy as possible.
what are the exact differences between Kubuntu and Ubuntu? like programs, etc. the desktop environment is obvious, but what are the smaller differences? I just wanted to know before I download one..
