[Solved] Unable to set bluetooth stick on laptop

Hi everyone.

I am trying to set my bluetooth usb device, as it is sad in the wiki, but I am not able to get it run.

When I plug my bluetooth stick, I got that in my /var/log/messages.log

Jul  7 14:38:34 tangra usbcore: registered new interface driver hci_usb

and this is what I have in my /var/log/messages.log when I start the bluetooth daemon:

Jul  7 14:38:24 tangra usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
Jul  7 14:38:34 tangra usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
Jul  7 14:38:34 tangra Bluetooth: Core ver 2.11
Jul  7 14:38:34 tangra NET: Registered protocol family 31
Jul  7 14:38:34 tangra Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized
Jul  7 14:38:34 tangra Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized
Jul  7 14:38:34 tangra Bluetooth: HCI USB driver ver 2.9
Jul  7 14:38:34 tangra usbcore: registered new interface driver hci_usb
Jul  7 14:41:51 tangra hcid[4165]: Bluetooth HCI daemon

This is what I have, when I write lsusb:

Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002  
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001  
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001  
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1131:1001 Integrated System Solution Corp. KY-BT100 Bluetooth Adapter
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001  
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001

After I plug the device, I am running /etc/rc.d/bluetooth start, and everything seems to be in order, but when I type "hcitool dev" I got nothing displayed. I red the wiki, and I have bluez installed. Where is my mistake. Do I need some software, or... I do not know what. It is my first time when I am using bluetooth in my life.

Regards.

try running /etc/rc.d/bluetooth restart [root or in sudo!] then try again

Hi

I solved the problem. You need to "hciconfig hci0 up", before run "hcitool dev" and see the device, or "hcitool scan" to scan for bluetooth devices in range.

Do you know how to brows the files on my mobile phone. I have no gnome or kde.

Regards.
