Bluetooth woes...

trishtren18 · 2010-02-24 06:13:21

Hello i have a dell mini 10v that i have recently set up. Im using gnomes network manager and bluez in a attempt to use my moto droid as a modem. I have also installed modemmanager as well in the hopes that it would install as well. When i manually load the bluetooth modual via sudo /etc/rc.d/bluethooth start (Since i dont know the daemon's name to autoload it. I know my bad) and then run the bluetooth manager everything is grayed out except view and help so i can even pair my droid with my dell mini. Any help would be appreciated since having a my netbook on hand for military drill with internet at the ready would be a huge help to me. Thank you in advance.

I can only remember most of what happened the last time I tried using bluetooth. At the time, I found the only solution was installing KDE. I assume that may not be an option for you. Maybe someone can shed some actual light on the subject.

to enable bluetooth in dell mini 9 (bcm4312), I used AUR package and aircraft manager. (your post not clear about the chip set and I assume it is broadcom)

btw, the daemon is painfully obvoius. you add

bluetooth

to the daemons array in /etc/rc.conf

thank you lol, i did figure out the daemon earlier and forgot to update it and it is a broadcom. i followed this http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_BCM4312 to get it set up. i will try aircraft manager and get back to you.

i seem to be having a issue building the aircraft-manager package. when i issue the yaourt -S aircraft-manager it comes back telling me that it cant get the portio dependency to build it. dont know if its the mirror, the tool, or the package it's self. thoughts?

kgas · 2010-02-24 18:04:07

portio is a dependency. pick the PKGBUILD and do the necessary modification to build the package. (Note : for each kernel update you may have to rebuild the packages)

Tristhen: don't kick your topics multiple times a day please. Your problem is not more important than other people's.

If you decide to do kick the topic, you can do so 24h after the original post if noone has answered.

@Kgas i installed portio myself then removed the dependency from the package build and got aircraft-manager installed. but i cant seem to get it to run now. anyhelp from anyone would be great. need this up and running by tomorrow night. looking into proxying as a alternative but id like to get the bluetooth up.

here is what i get when i try to run it from terminal in /usr/bin/

[thompson@arch-netbook bin]$ aircraft-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):

No dependency is to be removed from the PKGBUILD. The python errors shows that still the dependency not satisfied.(current portio version is 0.4, build the package without the patch).

trishtren18 · 2010-03-01 05:52:37

@kgas i built portio 0.4 then tried to installed aircraft-manager but it said that the portio dependency couldnt be fufiled and would abort the install.

I haven't had any luck with the gnome or KDE bluetooth frontends, nor blueman... I've always had to use obex from the commandline...
