Juanito,

for me don work blueman, it brings this error:

tc@box:~$ blueman-manager

despite that Gconf extension is loaded and is not in the dep file

My process is load blueman extension and his deps
then I execute a script:

#!/bin/sh
# activacion de Bluetooth

sudo modprobe bluetooth
sudo modprobe hci_usb
sudo modprobe l2cap
sudo modprobe rfcomm
sudo modprobe bnep
sudo modprobe sco
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/dbus

sudo mkdir /var/run/dbus
sudo dbus-daemon --system
sudo mkdir /etc/dbus-1
sudo mkdir /etc/dbus-1/session.d
sudo bluetoothd
sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/bluez start

the modules loaded are:

Am I making something wrong?

I tried also to do after it paired through bluez-gnome and still giving the same error.

[Juanito]

Assuming you're using tc/mc-2.10 (I'm not sure if this makes a difference, but it might due to udev changes), and the latest bluez extension then this works for me:

1. Load blueman using appbrowser (i.e. all the recursive deps load)
2. "sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/bluez start"

On my system, when the bluetooth module extension is loaded, the bt and btusb modules load automatically and starting bluez loads the rest of the bt modules

3. Start blueman using the icon or menu item

Note that blueman was not compiled against GConf, although "python-gconf" is listed as a "run-time dependency" - I supose this implies using GConf and gnome-python, but blueman works for me without these extensions.

I have seen the error of the form "Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-la205Wlnyl: Connection refused". I no longer see this, but it could be cured by with starting blueman using "dbus-launch blueman &" or by issuing "sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/bluez start" prior to "startx".

I don't believe you'll need your script if you follow the three steps above - let me know how you get on

[jur]

I'm getting the same error, using the steps you outlined.

[Juanito]

What permissions are on ~/.dbus and it's subdirectories? Maybe:

Code: [Select]

$ sudo chown -R tc:staff  ~/.dbus..will help?

[jur]

I got this:

OK, I removed the bluez-gnome from onboot, rebooted and went through the steps above. Now it works - great and thank you!   I can only guess it had something to do with sequencing, the fact that I had bluez-gnome already started from .xsession.

edit: I was able to pair my phone and the GPS pod.

[Onyarian]

yes my tc is 2.10.

I have prove with base no restore and it works!, perhaps I have to actualize my extensions in /optional

In this condition (base no restore) when I want to browse my PPC it says that it can't find Nautilus as browser and that I can change it in the setup services, but in the device setup in blueman don't ask about the browser. What to do?

Thanks.

good

short answer, I don't know...

I haven't got this far yet, let me have a look and see if there's a way to switch this to emelfm or similar

[Juanito]

I see the same browse error.

Blueman has obex-data-server as a run-time dep, but after compiling this, I still cannot browse the phone - it looks to be some kind of dbus or perhaps permissions error.

I tried linking nautilus -> emelfm, so emelfm is launched by blueman's browse, but I cannot browse the phone due to the obex-data-server error.

In the meantime, if you want to browse the phone, you can use the obex extension and:

Code: [Select]

$ obexftp -l

..or:

$ sudo mkdir /mnt/phone
$ sudo obexfs -b 34:7E:39:AE:69:98 /mnt/phone
$ sudo ls /mnt/phone

[Onyarian]

In the meantime, if you want to browse the phone, you can use the obex extension and:

yes that is what I normally do, after paired with blue-gnome I exec this script:

#!/bin/sh
# montar emparejamiento
# bluetooth2-nav

if [ "$1" == "" ]; then
  echo ""
  echo " especificar el MAC del aparato, por ej. 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"
else
 sudo mkdir /mnt/pda
 sudo obexfs -b $1  /mnt/pda
 sudo ls /mnt/pda
 echo "usar en este momento emelfm en version root para acceder a los ficheros"
fi

in the form:

tc@box:~$ ./bluetooth2-nav 00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE

and then surf with emelfm2 as root

but if it is possible to do all the connection and surf with blueman I prefer it because is more easy and quickly. 

[jur]

I have things running OK-ish now... still the success depends on what I load when (this is my own ondemand script)

Code: [Select]


#!/bin/sh
TCE_DIR=`cat /opt/.tce_dir`
THIS_APP="blueman"
[ ! -f "$TCE_DIR"/optional/"$THIS_APP".tcz ] && tce-load -i -w "$THIS_APP"
[ ! -f /usr/local/tce.installed/"$THIS_APP" ] && tce-load -i "$TCE_DIR"/optional/"$THIS_APP"
[ ! -f "$TCE_DIR"/optional/rox-filer.tcz ] && tce-load -i -w rox-filer
[ ! -f /usr/local/tce.installed/rox-filer ] && tce-load -i "$TCE_DIR"/optional/rox-filer.tcz
sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/bluez start
sleep 1 && [ ! -f /usr/local/tce.installed/obex ] && tce-load -i "$TCE_DIR"/optional/obex.tcz
sleep 1 && blueman-manager
[  ! -d /mnt/pda ] && sudo mkdir /mnt/pda
sudo obexfs -b 00:24:7C:31:DD:29  /mnt/pda &
sleep 2 && sudo rox /mnt/pda



[Juanito]

I played around with this some more - maybe this will help:

1. Boot with the "text" bootcode.
2. load the blueman extension and deps
3. "sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/bluez start"
4. Modify .xsession as follows:

Code: [Select]

...
  [ -x ./.setbackground ] && ./.setbackground
dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session
[ "$ICONS" == "wbar" ] && /usr/bin/wbar.sh
...5. "startx"

This seems to have the effect that apps like blueman, rhythmbox, obex-data-server manage to communicate with each other without dbus errors.

I doubt this will work (and I won't have a suitable device to test it for for several days), but you could try making a symlink nautilus -> emelfm (or your chosen file manager, it may need to be dbus "aware"), loading obex-data-server, and trying the "browse" function in blueman.

I'm still on the trail of changing the default blueman browser from nautilus - I suspect this will involve loading GConf and friends and extensive use of "grep"  

[jur]

I am using rox with success to browse and do stuff on the phone.

I found this at the blueman forums - a quit menu item for the tray applet:
blueman-project.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=282

I wonder if you would consider adding this to the build. I found it very handy.
