bluetooth what is really needed

(1/3) > >>

Hello,

after installing TC the first time I tried to get bluetooth running. This is needed for use of a bacode scanner.

So I decided to install bluez.
Then I check the local bluetooth device with "hcitool dev". Thats ok
Then I scanned for bluetooth devices "hci scan". Ok again.
Connecting a bluetooth mouse with "sudo hidd --connect" works fine.

Ok, to make the connection permanent I found an entry that uses simple-agent.
But where to find simple agent?

Next try.
Looking around I found a topic where blueman is used for easy setup. So I installed blueman. Bad idea.
Closing some windows freezes the system. No mouse, no keyboard anymore.
Removed the power and restart the system again. Using blueman to configure a bluetooth device freezes the system.

Should I reinstall the whole system?
Or how can I remove blueman and all of its dependencies?

Spending 2 days to get the basic installation work.
- no bluetooth yet
- german keyboard is very ugly (only a few basic key's are working)
, xorg not running yet to support needed resolution

I'm near the point of giving up....

simple-agent  should be provided by  bluez.tcz , no?

Use the  Apps  utility. Go to  Apps->Maintenance->Onboot Maintenance  and select the extension you want to remove. It will add
unneeded dependencies to the list of items to remove automatically. Then restart the system to complete the removal process.

simple-agent is provided by the x86 bluez, but the x86_64 bluez is newer and works differently = which are you using?

Hello,

first I have tried to remove blueman via "Onboot Maintenance". blueman was the last line, and before the blueman entry there was an empty line.
Have removed that empty line and all extensions are gone. No GUI anymore :(
So I decided to install from scratch. Only half an hour this time ...

I found that simple-agent is part of bluez (must be x86, the old sempron CPU ist not capable of 64 bit)
But it looks like a python script, and python was not installed.

Followed these  instructions http://www.m-opensolutions.com/?p=240  until point 4.
The bluetooth barcode scanner is working without any password request?!

After installing python the simple-agent is running too and requesting the password as described.
Followed step 6 and everything went fine. The requested file "trusts" is found in /var/lib/bluetooth/...

But why I need point 5 & 6? There is no difference, exept that there are more files at /var/lib/bluetooth/...
The scanner is already working at point 4.

Okay. Followed the instructions till the end. After Reboot als files are restored. But Scanner is not working :(
I have to manually do a "hid --connect" to get the scanner work.
