I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-bit and I can't browse the contents of my Cell Phones anymore. I was able to do it with 9.04 but it was a hassle, because if I was not quick enough to acknowledge the request on my phone Ubuntu would get a time out error but after the 3rd try I would usually successfully connect to my phone or if I deleted the phone from the bluetooth and then re add it it would connect on the first try.
With 10.04 when I first installed 10.04 it would connect to my phones without any problems, now it won't connect at all, if I select browse files on device and select a phone it does nothing,no phone response and no error message from Ubuntu, it just sits there like I never tried to access my phones.
I can Send files from Ubuntu to my phones and send files from my phones to Ubuntu but I can't browse the files on my phone from within Ubuntu's Bluetooth program.
I can successfully browse and transfer files in XP running natively and under Virtualbox using Samsung's Program "New PC Studio."
The PIN validation screen is giving me some trouble. I am trying to pair an LG Rumor Touch and the PIN pops up and matches and the phone is happy to accept the pairing so when I click the PIN matches button on the Bluetooth Remote Device Wizard it will not close. It shows a spinny clocky but just sits there until I cancel. The device manager shows a greyed out light but it lists the device. The tray icon shows device, but gives No supported services found on the menu entry. Dolphin shows device but when I click it to browse it loads to an empty folder. The Device Wizard behaves this way for other phones also, but I was able to get some services running if I ignored it and let it sit there. If I canceled the process it messed up the services.
since using 10.04 I have a big problem with my usb headset (freetalk everyman)
1. Problem: I cannot regulate the volume of the phones (output) anymore with gnome-volume-control. By default the volume is set to 100% which is way too loud. When I set it under 100% there is no sound at all. Values over 100% work.
2. Problem: The X server is freezing iregulary when I connect the headset and disconnect it, Magic SysRq works. I checked Xorg.0.log and found out that it recognizes the usb headset as keyboard:
I am looking for a new smart one. Although I am a long time Blackberry user, I am open to switch to droid or Iphone. One frustration I had with Blackberry was that I was not able synch my phone with my home computer (ubuntu) when I checked two years ago. Since then I have been using a windows machine to synch.
Now I am looking for a new phone and I would like it to work with my Ubuntu computer. I am wondering what other Ubuntu users experience are on this issue.
What are the chances of super smart phones being released?Devices which look like normal smart phones, but have the ability to run a full blown linux distro like ubuntu and have the power to play 1080p files, which also come with docking stations so you can plugin an external display, usb keyboard and mouse, so at home, it can be used as a normal desktop PC...Possibly using the ION based NVIDIA GPU with dual core 64bit processor!
i have the samsung intercept and want to be able to tether using easy tether pro it world perfectly on windows but i cant find samsung adp drivers for ubuntu currently running ubuntu LL but im willing to reinstall with 10.10 if that will do it out of the box
I read in the WSJ today that there is an effort to fingerprint computers and phones. I understand the business model, I'm concerned that too much information will be floating around.
There are a number of USB devices that can make Skype work with an existing home phone network, but most I've seen require Windows to work. I already have an always on headless Linux server running Ubuntu Server 9.04 (no GUI installed), so does anyone know of software and hardware that'll work with my setup to enable one of the analog lines in my home to work with Skype?
Also it seems most of the USB to Phone adapters are being discontinued and Skype doesn't even list any on their site. Do you guys know if they're phasing these devices out?
Anyone know of an application that I can send text messages to cell phones with? I send alot of text messages to my wife while I work and it would be so much easier if I could just do it from my keyboard.
i have a bluetooth modem (BlueSMiRF) that is connected to Arduino Duemilanove. I am trying to see serial communication messages from the bluetooth modem.
I have Blueman Device Manager that enabled SPP (Serial Port) and it says :
Code: Serial port connected to /dev/rfcomm0 How do I see the serial communication on this?
I tried on console
Code: $rfcomm listen 0 but it's stuck at Code: Waiting for connection on Channel 1 Is there any other way to listen (and also send) to serial comm msgs on bluetooth?
When i connect to my laptop a bluetooth usb stick, the bluetooth could not be turned on. the bluetooth dameon is on, and when i press the turn on button, nothing happens. in windows the stick works fine.
The bluetooth manager does not detect a bluetooth dongle .trying to use ndiswrapper to fix.I installed device manager and the results are shown below.i downloaded the windows driver suite. It has 4 .exe self extracting driver archives and a setupconfig.ini. The .ini file is below.I was able to extract one of the 32bit archives on a windows machine and it had about 8 .inf files that are titled weird and would not install properly using ndiswrapper probably because im using the 64-bit architecture. there are 2 64bit .exe's in the driver download, but how can i extract them in ubuntu and do i really need to install all 8 .inf files. also do i actually need to make a .inf file? if so how?

So I have Postfix working great and I've always used webmail if I needed to send email from PC's outside of $mynetworks. So fast forward to today where I got my 1st Android powered mobile phone and I can configure the Android mail client to send/receive IMAP email but my question is do I need to become an open relay to allow my random wireless providers dynamic range of IP's to send mail via Postfix? Seems extremely vulnerable and scary to think I would have to allow my providers IP range to relay mail via my MTA. I started reading a bit and I think I need SASL authentication and since both Postfix 2.8.1 & Dovecot 2.0.11 are both configured / using TLS, is there anything else I would need or you recommend for sending email from my Android powered mobile?
I was wondering what smartphones do people have and what applications are they using with them. Is there a calendar/address book application which synchronizes with the phones? I've used a Palm Pilot with J-Pilot before. Would it work with an iPhone or Blackberry or Nokia N900?
Recently if I have been getting Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE) errors when using mobile phones to send. The ip in postfix is allowed to relay but I suspect that the mobile provider is using DHCP to issue address to the phone (though I have check the ip addresses are always allocated the same) I have checked via a fixed ip that is allowed in the relay and this does not generate the same error. Does anyone know what I can change in Amavis or Postfix to sort this out, because legal mail is being rejected via the mobile phones at the moment.
I'm using fedora 13 x86_64 on amd machine. I use usb bluetooth dongle. The bluetooth service doesn't start at all. When I click on bluetooth icon-preferences-turn bluetooth on, after some time it says, bluetooth is disabled. What should I do to enable bluetooth?
I just installed 10.10) i had speaker audio on my laptop but the front jacks for head phones didn't work. After fidiling with some config files, i forget which config thing it is in but there was numerous mentions about where you had to put "options I am already added to the audio group for my computer and running vlc as root does not work (vlc-wrapper) regular won't run as root, i tried that because i have fixed other hardware problems by running programs as root. The laptop is a HP Pavillion dv5-1000 and has a regular sound card and a hdmi port (the sound is configured to play out of the non hdmi one)
I just bought a Bluetooth dongle for my laptop with fedora on it and cannot get the Bluetooth service to start. Tried to do the same on my imac running Fedora and the same thing happened, it said service refreshing and never did.
Just thought I'd ask on her which smart phones have the best native support in Fedora? I use F14 (I also use a debian spin-off called Mepis) I was thinking either a Nokia E7 or an HTC / Samsung with Android, but I'm not sure what's available for email synchronisation etc.
So, I've installed Ubuntu v9.10 through the Wubi and I can see only the C, E drivers but not the D one (which is, where I have installed the Ubuntu itself and maybe that's why the problem appear).
I just booted up, after making a flash USB for a test (didn't work) so I booted as normally into Ubuntu 9.10 (not dual boot). When I get back on, there's this... I don't know how to explain it. If someone can think of a better way to explain this, I'll change the title to be a bit more helpful, and easier to search for those who have a similar problem.
I can't browse through windows (such as with Alt + Tab, or even just clicking on another window), nothing comes to the front, and stays as is. I've not touched my graphics / display settings, so the only thing I can think of, is when I was going through the boot-up applications, but I doubt I disabled anything that would have been graphics and GUI based, or the compizconfig-settings-manager disrupted something. I've ye to test anything, it's rather early.

I installed Ubuntu 9.10 as Guest OS with Windows XP as Host using Virtual Box. I have also installed the VirtualBox Guest Additions. Now I want to connect to the internet using my modem.

From the above link, I downloaded the scanModem file from the Host XP. I don't know how to copy that file to the Guest Ubuntu OS.

I couldn't find the /mnt/msdos directory - only /mnt (no files inside that directory). Also, don't know how to paste from the USB drive.
I made a full disk backup using Clonezilla on a external drive and I used lzo, but this time I need to browse its contents somehow and extract some files but I could not find a utility that reads lzo archives.
recently I got new wireless card, att usb Quicksilver(based/produce by Option?), for att.Regular gnome network manager freezes the computer when I am plugging it it therefore I installed the one from wicd.net.Also, I am using HSOConnect (to connect by to G3 network), and sometimes I connect to regular wireless g connection through router.
Under both cases I can ping the website by IP and can access the website by ip (ex. google) but can not ping or browse by name.As a side note... I can use and access Skype fine under g3 network and normal wireless.I tried browsing and finding other solutions in past few days but ended up breaking everything and reinstalling to get back to the point I am at now.I am working on the road, so not being to broswse is rather crippling to me.... also I can access internet normally only from home from different computer now.
I know this is probably an extremely easy question... but does anyone know how to browse the files of an mp3 player in ubuntu 10.04? when i insert it it shows up in rhythmbox, but i'm unable to browse the files manually... i also looked under media and it isn't showing up. any ideas?
