Jul 6, 2010
System Details:
Code:
Things I have tried so far:Followed tutorials found here at [url] and [url] None of which worked.
Some output from what appears to be a valid connection:
I have run sdptool browse and found my device
I have used hcitool scan and found my device
I have done a cat of /dev/rfcomm0 and seen data streaming
I have seen a process id for gpsd as well as seen a listneing port for gpsd
I have been unable to get either gpsdrive / xgps / tangogps to see gpsd. All report it as not running.

First, excuse me for my bad english I want to connect a bluetooth device with the command rfcomm. In a terminal, I put the command :
Code:
rfcomm connect 0 00:80:98:E4:07:53
And the system answers :
Code:
Connected /dev/rfcomm0 to 00:80:98:E4:07:53 on channel 1
Press CTRL-C for hangup
On fedora 10, or 11, I can use this command with all users. On fedora 12, only the root user can connect and use this device. Other users have the message :
Code:
Can't open RFCOMM device: Permission denied What can I do to resolve this problem?

I'm writing a phone app for Android that connects to a bluetooth RFCOMM device in my car. My phone app talks AT commands with it. For development work, I often need to communicate with the device to try different commands and things.
My neighbors are starting to think I'm weird because I sit in my car for hours on end with my laptop screen shining on my face, typing away like a script kiddie.
I'd much rather configure one of my many Linux servers to act as a bluetooth RFCOMM device and allow me to connect to it (indoors, while I sit on my couch).
I imagine I have to start with something like
sdptool add SP
But then what?
I'm perfectly happy writing a perl app to handle the I/O, but I just don't know how to make the bluez stack accept connections and subsequently pipe that stream to a perl app.

Code:
A simple python script connects to this device, reads and prints a line
Code:

I'm interesting in hearing if anyone has any experience to share with using a budget GPS device and gpsd to be an NTP stratum 1 server.I can find USB GPS dongles for $25 USD online. What I'd like to know is if it's worth the effort.Please do not reply with "you should just get your time over the network" because I'm in a location where that is not possible.

Using a Python scipt by balint of Spench.net I can set my iPhone as a gpsd device (using mobile Safari and the tether connection)
Quote:
ryank@kayleeslaptop:~$ sudo python iPhone-gpsd.py
Current directory: /home/ryank
gpsd: Can't bind to port 2947
gpsd: Maybe gpsd is already running!
gpsd: Can't bind to port 2947
[Code]....
It sets the device as /dev/pts/1 but GPSDrive (and any other program for that matter) shows that there is not GPS...

# rfcomm -a
rfcomm0: 00:1A:89:09:8C:77 channel 1 clean
rfcomm1: 00:07:E0:2E:99:43 channel 3 clean
Then I connect by the mobile, and:
# rfcomm -a
rfcomm0: 00:1A:89:09:8C:77 channel 1 clean
rfcomm1: 00:07:E0:2E:99:43 channel 3 clean
rfcomm2: 00:1BC:0F:5C:AB -> 00:07:E0:2E:99:43 channel 1 connected [reuse-dlc release-on-hup tty-attached]
What the heck is that rfcomm2, when that mobile is bound to rfcomm1? Is it udev that makes fun of me? If so, how to bind the devices to specific rfcomm interfaces via udev?

I'm trying to use my nokia n79 as internet modem for my laptop which has mandriva 2010 spring (free) installed. When i connect phone and computer with usb cable i can see my phone listed under 'gprs modem' but when i click 'connect' it says 'please wait' for a while then nothing happens.
I've tried using bluetooth and rfcomm to connect but the devices do not pair. Even l2ping isn't able to communicate with my phone.
When i use rfcomm with the connect command a dialog pops up on my phone requesting pin and i enter the one in my /etc/bluetooth/pin but then nothing happens and rfcomm exits saying connection refused.

Configuring gpsd with Wheezy was a breeze. Just had to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gpsd", answer a few questions, and it worked like a charm. With Debian Jessie the following happens:
tsi@sxf-tsi:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure gpsd
Warning: Stopping gpsd.service, but it can still be activated by:
gpsd.socket
Creating/updating gpsd user account...
tsi@sxf-tsi:~$
How does one bring up the gpsd configuration dialog with Jessie?

I'm trying to configure gpsd 2.96 to start automatically from udev rule on a Slack 13.37 box.1. I've compiled and installed gpsd from sources and made sure it starts manually.2. I've copied the /lib/udev/gpsd.hotplug and /lib/udev/gpsd.hotplug.wrapper scripts in their places from the source tree and made them executable.3. I've copied the gpsd.rules file from sources into /etc/udev/rules.d4. I renamed it 99-persistent-gpsd.rules to run late in the bootup process.5. I've copied the /etc/default/gpsd file from sources and made sure it has the right settings inside.
Now, for the results. If I plug the gps usb dongle in while the system runs, it starts gpsd if it is not started, and it connects to it just as it should. But if I start the system with the dongle in, gpsd doesn't get started during boot. I can't find any relevant message in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages for boot time. There is stuff there from when I plug the dongle in while the system is running though. It's like udev ignores the rules for it at boot time.Is there something in the Slackware boot scripts that would prevent running those scriptssd.hotplug.wrapper which in turn runs /lib/udev/gpsd.hotplug which is a Python script)?Here is the contents of 99-persistent-gpsd.rules (ignore the comments referring to Debian, it was meant for a Debian box). My usb gps adapter is the first one - the Prolific chipset one:
Code:
# udev rules for gpsd
# $Id: gpsd.rules 5861 2009-08-03 13:41:01Z bzed $

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 normally add RPMFORGE / DAG to my RHEL 5 machines however I have a server and I can't remember if I added the repository to the machine so I was wondering how someone can check on the server if I have added this in the past. I know that in Debian / Ubuntu, I am able to cat /etc/apt/source.list and see the repository listed.

I need to install some packages, but it fails because I previously installed gnome-shell testing, and now have the ricotz ppa packages conflicting with the default packages. See error below.
Code:
libgtk2.0-dev:
Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (=2.20.1-0ubuntu2) but 2.20.1-0ubuntu3~10.04~ricotz2 is to be installed
Depends: libpango1.0-dev but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libatk1.0-dev but it is not going to be installed
How do I remove these packages and re-install the default ones, without risking damage to my system?
UPDATE: I have now tried to remove this packages using ppa-purge and the new ubuntu tweaks, but for the life of me I cannot get rid of them.

I am looking to upgrade a box of mine using command line only. I am going from 10.04 to 10.10 and have changed all instances of lucid to maverick within the sources.list file but now I don't want to continue until I can be safe to upgrade by disabling the third-party repos. How can I disable these using the command line? Should I just move the sources.list.d folder? Any other ways I'm missing?

I installed a LAMP server using RHEL 5.5 but we needed a higher version of php than was available in RHEL Yum repositories. I think at the time I installed Dag Wieers and got a 3rd party package. My question is the following:
1. How do I remove the 3rd party packages?
2. How do I remove Dag Wieers from my Yum repo list?
3. Anything else I need to know to get all 3rd party packages off?

I have searched on the internet but didn't manage to find out how to flag 3rd party repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/50unattended-upgrades. It installs all updates from the stock Ubuntu repos but none from 3rd party repositories I later added (e.g. Chromium PPA, Skype, etc.). I understand I have to manually add the lines but I'm not sure what's the format for this. How to do this? Here's how my 50unattended-upgrades file looks like:
Code:
// Automatically upgrade packages from these (origin, archive) pairs
Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins {
"Ubuntu karmic-security";
"Ubuntu karmic-updates"; };
// List of packages to not update
Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist {
//"vim";
//"libc6";
//"libc6-dev";
//"libc6-i686"; };
// Send email to this address for problems or packages upgrades. If empty or unset then no email is sent, make sure that you have a working mail setup on your system. The package 'mailx' must be installed or anything that provides /usr/bin/mail.
//Unattended-Upgrade::Mail "root@localhost";
// Automatically reboot *WITHOUT CONFIRMATION* if a
// the file /var/run/reboot-required is found after the upgrade
//Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "false";

I ve got updates ready to install but halfway through downloading I get a message saying it couldnt get a password or something. So I enabled unsupported updates, but it still did it.
So then I disabled them again and it said I had a broken package (ia32-libs) and to run apt-get install -f in a terminal after unchecking 3rd party updates, so I unchecked 3rd party updates, but when I type in a terminal it says permission denied and asks if I m root.
It would normally ask for a password in the terminal to root me, dont know how to do it any other way.

I upgraded to 11.04, and in the process it said third-party software sources needed to be disabled.Now, when I go into Software Sources nothing happens (the form doesn't open up)Is there a command line prompt to enable third-party sources? I think this might be why my keyboard/mouse aren't working.
