Ubuntu Networking :: Error Message - No Bluetooth Adapters Present
Jul 14, 2010
Using Ubuntu on a new toshiba satellite laptop, have setup almost everything but the bluetooth. When I try to initiate the bluetooth, I get an error message "No bluetooth adapters present" "Your computer does not have any bluetooth adapters plugged in"
I 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?
I have windows 7 and ubuntu karmic dual boot system.i can easily transfer files via bluetooth in windows 7 but in ubuntu it shows a message bluetooth adapter not connected while as i dont use any such adapter while working in windows .
I've installed Centos 5.4 _AMD64 on my PC, everything is ok except I can't connect to internet. I can see my hardware in the network manager I also have eth0 and wlan0 but I can't activate them. for eth0 an error of " No cable present" and wlan0 something about the ip I don't have a cable and I used to connect through wireless My wireless is PCI Ralink and I had the same situation with Debian and I think I needed to download extra packages to get it working. I am writing from windows vista now ,So please could you provide me with the packages and steps to get wireless working through offline process because I don't have a cable.
I am in the market for a decent USB Wireless Adapter for Ubuntu 10.10 I just wondered what USB adapters everyone is using? Just hoping to get an idea of the better ones that people use.
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?
I am planning to buy a wireless device that supports both monitor mode and packet injection options for my project work..I came across this site while browsing
Is there any advantage of using USB Wifi Adapters over PCMCIA cards??your suggestion/experience in choosing a device in that link or recommend any other device?
I have a Netgear WG111T USB and a Edimax EW-7711UAn USB.
I have the latest version of ubuntu.
I have installed ndiswrapper, and loaded the windows drivers in for the netgear, and it will show up in iwconfig but wont connect to anything, I got rid of network manager and installed wicd as I heard that may solve the problem, to no avail.
The Edimax one, I got because I read it worked straight out of the box, but looking into it apparently i need to compile the firmware from ralinks website, but I get errors with that.
Im not too fussed what one I use as long as I get a wireless connection, currently i have it connected to my laptop through a cable and bridging the connections.
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 am using 2 wireless network adaptors,one intel 5300 AGN (driver iwlagn)and the other one smc ezconnect ( driver zd1211rw), a usb adaptor The intel 5300 AGN has a hardware switch.
However, everytime i turn off the hardware switch of intel 5300 AGN, the smc ezconnect adaptor is turned off too. How to I prevent this(how to make 2 switch for 2 adaptors?)
I'm in a spot where my wireless access is about 200 ft from my computer so I bought a tl-wn721 adapter. I have already gotten the drivers for it but somehow I am still stuck with my wireless adapter built in to my sony vaio sz220 (yeah I know it's old...that's why I run ubuntu). So how do I change wireless adapters? The system does say that the realtek drivers associated with the 721 adapter are in use and enabled but in Win 7 I have much higher signal than what is currently displayed. Usually it's somewhere in the high 80 or 90s. Now it's hard to even get 70 and that's how I know that I'm on my built in adapter. I ran lspci -nn and this was my output. I might just not be searching for the right thing. BTW I'm running 10.04 LTS.

Like some others I have found people are having problems with network manager from time to time. It seems that wicd is the solution. Will this work with ubuntu 10.04?
I'm trying to connect my fedora 11 computer to a kubuntu9 computer over a cross wired network cable so i can share files, Internet and printers i dont want to use a router or wifi what rpm's do i need to install can someone guide me through it
I know theres a thread for this for fc9 but thats probably kind of outdated now. So I am trying to set up a wireless connection for a pc in my bedroom and just want something that will work out of the box.
Running Fedora 13 and have it working great acting as my firewall/router/samba server etc. The problem is the connection is shared by a fair number of us and the ISP is getting annoyed with the amount of torrent traffic. One of us has access to a wireless network and we'd like to figure out how to route some of the traffic through that without having to disconnect from the current network. I put a wireless card in the fedora box and can connect to the wireless but then it messes up the current network and pretty much nothing works.
At the least if I could run a torrent client (e.g. ktorrent or whatever) on the Linux box and have it download through the wireless card on tcp port XXXXX I would be happy. The torrent client and those tcp/udp ports can be dedicated to that wireless card, the rest of the network doesn't need to get involved if that makes things simpler. Not looking for a step by step tutorial, just an explanation of what needs to be done and a shove in the right direction. My experience is limited to single WAN connections up to this point.
I am trying to set up an NIS client on a Fedora Core 12 64-bit system. The ypbind daemon is running via the /etc/init.d/ypbind script. However, whenever I run the ypwhich command, the following error message appears on-screen:
[code]...
The client has been configured so the domain is set, and the client will broadcast for the first available nis server. The client is on a subnet where there is one nis slave server, so it should bind to that server. One thought that came to mind was the fact the client in question is 64-bit, while the nis slave is 32-bit. Could that cause this problem?

Im trying to instal Sun Virtualbox but when download completes and I click on install I get the following error>>Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) I wont even bother with this software if there are others out there that are as easy to use. I used it on Windows and thought it was great ! (thats how I eventually switched to Linux, by using it virtually at first)
In both CentOS 5.5 and FreeBSD 7.4 when I use Code: snmpget -v 1 -c public windows_host system.sysDescr.0 I get the remote windows machine system description just fine. But not in ubuntu. Searching snmp-net FAQ for the erroe message "Unknown Object Identifier", I got this to work around Code: snmpget -v 1 -c public 127.0.0.1 SNMPv2-MIB::system.sysDescr.0 But it not worked either.. Searching "MIB" using apt-file search, I installed "snmp-mibs-downloader", and now Code: snmpget -v 1 -c public 127.0.0.1 SNMPv2-MIB::system.sysDescr.0 works.. but Code: snmpget -v 1 -c public windows_host system.sysDescr.0 still breaks.. Why it works in CentOS and FreeBSD but not in Ubuntu?
I just installed a TrendNet TEW-649UB wifi dongle, which works when it wants Anyway, I set up ICS, it didn't work, so I undid what I had done from the tutorial, I also cleared IPTable rules, but now I still get error messages as you can see on the attachments.
I installed fedora 11 and configured xdsl(pppoe). I then performed an upgrade and installed some apps.

I have tried using both firefox and konqueror. Internet works in windowsIs this due to the upgrade? If so which upgrade would have caused the error?How do i resolve it
I have been searching the forums for quite a while, to add extra Loopback adapter in Centos 5.1, but no success! Could you please suggest me the steps? in Windows, it is quite easy to add as many adapters as you want. wondering, if this is even possible in Linux? I have to run GNS3/Dynamips for router emulation and bind those Loopback adapters to virtual routers!
I have a Samba server conecting to a windows XP machine that is in workgroup named CLOUDLESS. I have a share folder that resides in the server that can be accessed no problem by the XP client, but I got the following error message from the syslog:

We're having an issue with HTTP POST file uploads on our two Ubuntu PCs. For some reason, whenever one of our users attempts to submit a file in an HTML form, the request times out, usually with a 500 Internal Server Error message. This problem is not limited to one site, but occurs on all sites that use file uploads. Also, the problem does not appear to be with our network, as a Windows 7 PC on the same network can upload files to the same sites without any difficulties. The problem is not browser-specific; we have tested with Firefox, Epiphany, and Google Chrome and all produce the same results. The issue is relatively new, and was first observed within the last month; before this time, both machines had no problems uploading files.
Does anyone have ANY idea what could be causing this? I've tried a number of things, including rebooting the PCs, rebooting the network, disabling IPv6, etc. I'm not very experienced in Linux system administration, but I can use the terminal and am familiar with some terminal-based diagnostic tools, so if you need any additional info or want me to try something, please let me know! I've exhausted my own computer knowledge with regards to finding a solution to this problem.
