Bluetooth: bluez give me an error

[vinnie]

I would like to use bluetooth to connect to the Internet because it consumes less battery of my phone, radiates less, and perhaps I can even use mic/speker PC to phone calls.
I did a little research and i know blueman (and bluez), ok this packager is on repo, after power on the module in bios i am ready to go:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/bluez start
stopped /usr/local/bin/dbus-daemon (pid 4240)
rm: can't remove '/var/run/dbus/pid': No such file or directory
tc@box:~$ Epic Failt 
Now I refer to your brilliant minds   

[vinnie]

Ok, quick update, if I am logged in as root (without sudo) no error is committed.

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ sudo su
root@box:~# /usr/local/etc/init.d/bluez start
root@box:~#

Now "add "dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session" to .X.d/dbus" but i don't have dbus file in /home/tc/.X.d directory

Other problem:
-blueman don't have a menu voice, it is normal?
-blueman-applet don't run any guy and return this error:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ blueman-applet

That's not the reason - the first time you start bluez it will attempt to stop and restart dbus. If dbus is not running, you will see the message '/var/run/dbus/pid': No such file or directory. On second and subsequent bluez restarts, it will not restart dbus.

Now "add "dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session" to .X.d/dbus" but i don't have dbus file in /home/tc/.X.d directory

That's correct, you need to create ~/.X.d/dbus

org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoServer: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-zliYdg4NA1: Connection refused

I believe this happened because the xserver started without ~/.X.d/dbus as mentioned above.

BTW, I believe it's blueman-manager you need to run

Just a small observation, don't know if it matters. In the 3.x repository:
The info tab for blueman-2.6.tcz reads

Code: [Select]

add "dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session" to .xsessionThe info tab for blueman-2.7.tcz reads

Code: [Select]

add "dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session" to .X.d/dbus

[Juanito]

I guess when blueman-2.6 was first created we didn't have the ~/.X.d facility...

Ok thanks juanito for reply, aftei i write second message i found this post: http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,8559.msg45965.html#msg45965

After first 4 steps of A paragraph blueman start and find my phone.

Unfortunately I had not considered that my phone does not support tethering bluethoot without installing third-party app. but I have not yet found a working app, I will continue to seek.

Let me ask another just two things:
-"add "dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session" to .X.d/dbus" this part is to keep the dbus configuration after backup and restart?
-although I can not use it to connect, do you think I could use blueman to interact with speaker/mic of my PC in place of the phone during a call?

[Juanito]

-"add "dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session" to .X.d/dbus" this part is to keep the dbus configuration after backup and restart?

since .X.d is under /home/tc, it will be automatically backed up if you have backup enabled and you haven't changed the default .filetool.lst. The 'dbus-launch" command enables dbus messaging within the xsession.

-although I can not use it to connect, do you think I could use blueman to interact with speaker/mic of my PC in place of the phone during a call?

you can certainly use blueman to pair with a bluetooth headset speaker/mic using (for example) skype on your pc if that's what you mean

Ok, and after backup and reboot I can run blueman without kill x?

you can certainly use blueman to pair with a bluetooth headset speaker/mic using (for example) skype on your pc if that's what you mean

but I must do the opposite, make calls with phone and interface with the speaker/mic PC (making the pc as an bluetooth headset)

[Juanito]

It works OK for me - remember you will need to start bluez using bootlocal.sh

but I must do the opposite, make calls with phone and interface with the speaker/mic PC (making the pc as an bluetooth headset)

I've no idea how you would go about that or even if it is possible..

[curaga]

Hm, if the phone shows as a modem, voice calls should be possible - don't ask me how though, last I did that kind of thing was with a 56k modem in the 90s

[vinnie]

Ok now i think all connection works, summarize:

-Kill x
-$ sudo dbus-launch
-$ /usr/local/etc/init.d/bluez start
- add "dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session" to .X.d/dbus
- startx
- start blueman-manager
- program find my phone, i select pairing and trusted

I must now create the connection and there seems to be successful because I see the three icon on the on the right and the exchange of data but I do not know what to do,
If I start playing with the program after a while it block and if I kill these does not restart.

An idea?

@Curaga, I think it's doable, but I do not think it is a matter of dialup, instead there should be as though the PC interface also acted Bluetooth Headset.
However it is not essential,that goes wrong i buy a headset

Just to give color to my request

[Juanito]

-$ sudo dbus-launch
-$ /usr/local/etc/init.d/bluez start

Starting bluez will start the dbus daemon, so no need to use dbus-launch

[Juanito]

If you start blueman from a terminal window, do you see an error message?

[vinnie]

Starting bluez will start the dbus daemon, so no need to use dbus-launch

At the next attempt I try,however, after "dbus-launch", the first time that I start ".../bluez start" always returns the error "rm: can not remove '/ var / run / dbus / pid': No such file or directory".
This doesn't happen the second time.
Anyway blueman start, for which I have not reported.

If you start blueman from a terminal window, do you see an error message?

I divide the output for convenience:
Start Blueman
Search
Pairing and pairing error located at the bottom of gui (I had not noticed before)
So I tried to refresh device
Click on setup ad in animated gif and Dun up to failure

This is the complete output not divide
