I have a bluetooth track-pad that has worked for me on a number of computers. It works on my office computer, but annoyingly ubuntu refuses to remember the device pin ("0000"). I have removed and re-created the device and it always skips the screen where it asks if I would like to save the pin. This means that I have to have a mouse to get past GDM (well, not really, I can use the arrows) before I can pair with it.
I have tried reinstalling bluez and libbluetooth3, but that didn't help.
IMDB gives me a "recently viewed" list of pages I viewed recently (and a few of them were months ago, since I don't go there too often) at the bottom of every page I view. My cookies are enabled for session-only, have adblock plus, my ip changes every day, how are they doing that? How can I prevent it? What other websites are using the same trick? At this page [URL] there's a link there that says "Clear entire history", but I want to disable them from being able to track me like that, if they can track me, so can others.
I run Linux Mint and keep 38,000 photos on an external usb hard drive. Problem is, neither Picasa 3 or DigiKam will "remember" the photos if I unplug the drive. When I run Picasa/DigiKam again, it reindexes all 38,000 pics, which of course takes forever.
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?

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 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.
I have been unable to use Bluetooth since I did a clean install of 10.10. It worked before, so I know I have the hardware.
The default manager has a button to turn on bluetooth, but it doesn't do anything. I downloaded Blueman but get a message that "Bluez daemon is not running, blue-man manager cannot continue."
I've tried a few different inquiries, but I'm not sure what they mean:
I can sync my Motorola Droid using the USB cable without any problems but I don't always have the USB cable with me and I haven't been able to sync my Droid using bluetooth. My laptop can see the Droid and the Droid can see my computer but it says on my Droid "Paired but not connected". All I want to do is send files back and forth (tethering would be nice but I don't really need to be able to do that).
I can now (I'm really not sure why) send files from my laptop running Ubuntu 9.10 to my Droid but I can't send files from my Droid to my Laptop. Also when I try to "Browse file on device" I don't see any devices even when I select phone as device type.
How do I disable bluetooth on boot up. I know bluetooth can be turn off manually everytime I am on my com. But how do I permanently disable bluetooth on boot up. I don't want to disable it in bios because I am having dual boot.
short version: My bluetooth headset keeps disconnecting.Full version:I'm using a 64-bit distro of 9.10 on a 1.6 GHz AMD Turion 64 laptop, with an external bluetooth dongle and a bluetooth headset. The dongle is recognized right off, the headset pairs perfectly through the bluetooth preferences panel, and sound redirects through the soundpreferences panel... For about 2 minutes. I know, it's odd, but every 2 minutes or so bluetooth disconnects from the headset. Sound shifts to the speakers, the applications don't miss a beat, and when I reconnect the headset through the bluetooth control it shifts right back to the headset. This happens regardless of other programs running. I tried it with no other applications running, and with a fairly heavy load, and it reoccurs.Here's the odd part: I had the CPU set on "Ondemand," to save battery power, but when I plugged in and shifted it to "Performance," it started happening ever 4 minutes or so...I've Googled around and found plenty about getting my headset to connect, but nothing about KEEPING it connected
I'm using a Toshiba Satellite A200-21T LapTop with Ubuntu 9.10
I used to have dual boot with windows Xp but i shoot windows out (Sorry bill )
In windows i was able to use bluetooth with my nokia phone.
The wireless hardware button in the laptop is on. There is no option it the bios to turn off the bluetooth, so i'm sure that the machine is booting with bluetooth on.
So I can send pictures from my phone to my PC, I've bought a Bluetooth USB adapter, just a cheap one.
System>Preferences>Bluetooth without the adapter says 'no adapters are plugged in'. With the adapter in I get a preferences screen to find new devices, so my PC is seeing the Bluetooth adapter. I've then got it to successfully find both my phone and my wife's and entered the provided pin into each phone. My desktop is duly listed as a device on each phone.
However, if I try and send a picture from either of the phones to the PC the phone says it can't see any devices and the sending fails.
Also, how do I send files the other way, from PC to phone? I installed Obex but it simply hung then closed itself.
my laptop suspends and resumes ok, however i've noticed that when i suspend, my bluetooth dongle continues to flash, and if i check my phone it says i'm still connected.
surely this is a bad drain on my battery? how do i set it that my bluetooth will disable when i suspend the laptop then restart when i resume?
So I have been trying to connect my Wiimote up to my PC using the following HOWTO: [URL]... I had it working last week and for some reason it has now stopped working. I am using a USB Bluetooth dongle and I am sure that it is still working because I can connect the Wiimote up to my laptop no problem. What I have noticed is that on my Laptop the bluetooth icon is highlighted and on my PC although the Icon is there it is greyed out. When I go to preferences and click on turn on Bluetooth the button greys out for a while and then comes back saying "Turn Bluetooth on" again.
I have installed blueman and have succesfully paired my device with a headset and audio sink service in blueman. Now, when i attempt to go to sound preferences and go to hardware, my device is not listed. All i would like to do for now is to redirect all audio output to my bluetooth headset. Ive tried enabling blueman pulseaudio plugin, but the checkbox cannot be checked.
What I want to do is hook up a mic to my computer and have the sound play through my bluetooth headset. Can this be done? I cant seem to figure out at all. It play fine through the computer speakers but nothing in BT. I have Ubuntu 10.04
I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS installed on a Dell Desktop with a USB Bluetooth dongle.
I have a bluetooth device, whose security is based upon searching not for the bluetooth service name but a renamed bluetooth service. The device comes with instructions on how to do it with a small subset of Windows XP machines but I feel like this should be a simple thing to do here.
Is there a simple way to either add an extra bluetooth service on a different name? Change the current bluetooth name? Ubuntu has a wiki that led me to the bluetooth preferences window and a services tab but that doesn't seem to exist in 10.04.
where to go in GUI or command line tools that will help with this?
Im trying to get a Bluetooth USB dongle work but I cant.
Bluetooth Preferences doesnt recognise it and bluetooth manager gives me this error "Bluez daemon is not running, blueman-manager cannot continue.". See attached captures.
I already tried many solutions proposed in other threads with no luck. I reinstalled their packages and it keeps the same.
I'm using 10.10 upgraded from 10.04. With 10.04 I had the same issue.
I am trying to use an Apple BT keyboard with a new installation of 10.04.Using Bluetooth Preferences, I discovered the keyboard, and paired with it. No problem with pairing. If I click on the BT icon in the top panel, it indicates that the keyboard is connected. But any text typed on on keyboard does not appear on screen. I opened Keyboard Settings, thinking that I might have to select the connected BT keyboard as the input device. Nothing there. Is there another preference somewhere that has to be set for the BT keyboard to actually work as an input device (as opposed to simply being paired)? My USB keyboard is still connected (and is working). Perhap Ubuntu only tolerates one keyboard device at a time?
im unable to turn bluetooth on at startup, i have to use the applet every time and click enable, any ideas on how to do this via terminal so i can do it on boot?
My bluetooth manager is dying every few minutes or even every few couple of seconds. This happens when i'm using bluetooth mouse. Mouse works correctly cause i've tested it in windows. In the attachment there is dmesg output. In dmesg i keep geting lines like:
Quote: [ 1463.864082] usb 4-1: USB disconnect, address 10 [ 1463.864601] btusb_intr_complete: hci0 urb eddf2900 failed to resubmit (19)
followed by reconnecting both, USB dongle and mouse. Then it works for a while and dies again, over and over. It also happens when mouse it idle (no matter if 5 seconds or 5 minutes).[URL]..
I want to use one computer to control Banshee on another computer in the room. without using remote desktop. That's not going too well for me (it works, but it's slow and clunky over my network).
I am a new user of ubuntu. I seem to have problem connecting to bluetooth. There is a message saying there are no bluetooth adapter. How do I turn on the adapter now that I've switched from windows 7 to ubuntu. My bluetooth was working fine in windows.
I've had a number of problems with bluetooth running under Gnome ubuntu 10.10 on a Dell Inspiron N7010 with Dell Wireless 365 Bluetooth Module. I mainly use bluetooth to browse files on my phone. I would frequently get file transfers to the phone hang. And, the bluetooth icon would disappear from the taskbar after after a resume from sleep. At first, I thought the fix from here would help, but it didn't entirely fix the problem.
Later, I realized that the problem showed up after I had installed KDE. Then I found that uninstalling bluedevil, the bluetooth stack for KDE, made everything better. So now I have working bluetooth again.
My laptop (eMachines D730) has bluetooth but Natty does not detect it. Is there any way to enable bluetooth in Natty? Should I download drivers for it?
