View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get my bluetooth adapter to work in RHEL. The adapter is a Kensington Micro (K33902US). The system detects the device, but it fails to find any networks when I do a scan using hcitool. Also, I wrote a small C program to do the same, with the same results (no network found). The bluetooth manager appears in the panel, but when I right-click, the only option I have is to check/uncheck "Discoverable". I have tried restarting bluetooth using "service bluetooth restart" to no avail.I tried borrowing an adapter from a friend (some DLINK) that seemed to work fine for both hcitool and my program. The problem just seems to be in Red Hat's ability to use this particular device.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been using ubuntu for a few years now but am a noob when comes to the technical side of things, so apologies for my lack of knowledge.
I am using ubuntu 10.10 on a ZOTAC IONITX-A-U Atom N330 1.6GHz Dual-Core Mini ITX Intel Motherboard and since I have upgraded from 10.04 I no longer have blue tooth capabilities. I have a logitech mx 5500 wireless keyboard and mouse, which uses a bluetooth dongle. This is the strange part as they have both been working until recently.
They both lost their charge and after replacing the batteries in my keyboard it no longer is able to connect. The mouse however works fine, until I dropped it So I bought a microsoft explorer mouse which came with its own bluetooth dongle. Which I plugged in and the mouse works fine.
But when I go to System> Preferences> Bluetooth
I get Bluetooth adapter not present and Your computer does not have any Bluetooth adapters plugged in.
I have spent the last week googling this and can't seem to find any relevant info.
I ran this in terminal code...
Am I wrong in assuming that the logitech and microsoft dongles are being seen?
I have also removed and reinstalled bluetooth and bluetooth manager in the software centre, and the same with synaptic package manager, to no avail.
With both dongles plugged in could this also cause a problem?
Is there another way of starting the bluetooth?
Actually I am using Ubuntu netbook remix in Benq netbook. In that bluetooth is inbuild. When I use this same ubuntu netbook remix as "live usb" this bluetooth works and searches the devices. But after installing ubuntu remix in harddisk I am getting error as "No bluetooth adapter plugged in" I dont know why. So I again checked with the same "live-usb" this time the bluetooth didn't works. Saying the same error which it shows when I boot from hard disk.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy bluetooth seems to be activated in the system tray when I start the computer, can I disable this?.I do not want my computer to be visible to other computers if you know what I mean.Is it still safe even if the icon shows, Iam a little afraid someone might be able to hack the system this way?

I am looking for advice and recommendations for USB Bluetooth Adapters. My primary use will be using a Wii controller/remote with XBMC (compiled with 'cwiid' support).Secondary use is general data transfer; other peripherals keyboard/mouse etc.But more than anything I would like to buy a product from a manufacturer who has open support for GNU/Linux and to stay away from others who don't (BlueSoleil software, WinBond - and others).

Tried lots of things before I spent $10 on another nameless Chinese one and that worked fine immediately.

Since 11.2 bluetooth is defaulted to always turned on during boot. Is there any way to have bluetooth off as default during boot? I don't want it completely disabled as I sometimes require it but I'd prefer if the BT radio was in the off state as default.Really the bluetooth state should be persistent across boots - i.e. remember the last state.

When I type bluetooth-properties at the terminal a windows pops up saying "Your computer does not have any Bluetooth adapters plugged in." No further hardware/software changes were made recently.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've an Acer Aspire One A110 Netbook running Linpus Lite. All seems relatively well however I've plugged in a Bluetooth USB dongle and nothing has happened - oh well, I didn;t expect it to. Of course I'm used to MS Windows OS plug 'n Play and I know this isn't generally how Linpus Lite OS operates but despite looking around I can't find an explanation on how to activate the Bluetooth adapter. There are instructions and demos on how to add a Bluetooth component to the board but I'm not an engineer, neither professional nor hobbyist, so Im not interested in doing that. I've downloaded the Bluetooth zip file from the Acer Spire One support site it has been installed on the Netbook but there still appears to be no Bluetooth connection.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've followed the guide at URL.... but my computer is unable to find any Bluetooth devices. Whether I'm using the command line or gnome-bluetooth, I don't get any results. If I plug in a cheap USB adapter, I'm able to connect and use the devices.My computer is a HP ProBook 4330s running Debian Jessie. And as far as I can tell the Bluetooth adapter is a Ralink rt3592 combination Wi-Fi and Bluetooth PCI card. The Wi-Fi works fine, but when i try to connect to a Bluetooth device, I get no search results.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a Toshiba Tecra M5 that I dearly love; its operating system is Fedora 14 which I ALSO dearly love.I have been running Fedora on this Laptop since Fedora 10.

When I go into the gnome-Bluetooth app, it just sits there ominously saying "No Bluetooth Adapters Present" I'd very much like to get bluetooth up and running, but I'm not sure what's wrong.
