12.10 Bluetooth not detecting Wii remote

linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – My bluetooth is set to "on" and hcitool dev returns hci0's MAC address. When I use wmgui and tell it to connect and press 1+2 (or the red Sync button), it just returns "Unable to connect". When I run hcitool scan it says "Scanning..." and after a few seconds closes. Is there any chance my bluetooth is detected as on and working but is not actually functioning? (HowTos)

I am using CC2540 Bluetooth Low-Energy development board.

I don't think you are posting enough information to give any indication as to where you should go from here.  I have never actually made any real use of my bluetooth, so I just set it up, and the output of my working bluetooth is the same as your non-working bluetooth (that is hciconfig and hcitool).  The only other things I can think of would be the need to unblock (rfkill, though

I recently was able to install and configure Ubuntu 11.10-amd64 on my new late 2011 8,3 MacBook Pro:

$ sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name MacBookPro8,3 $ uname -a Linux work-macbook 3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:28:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Just about everything is working, with the major exception of Bluetooth.

Using bluetooth headset? 36 weeks 2 days ago

I am on Ubuntu Server 12.04 and I have a Bluetooth USB Dongle I would like to use. Will drivers be automatically installed (if available) when I plug the Bluetooth Dongle? Which tools are there to check if my headset was found etc? I always only find tutorials on how to work with bluetooth with the GUI ):

Edit:

install bluez package lsusb | grep Bluetooth hciconfig --all hcitool scan

I have a current working setup of mpd -> alsa on ubuntu server 11.10. I now have an usb<>bluetooth adapter, with which i can see the to-be-paired device (logitech adapter) with hcitool scan. So far I haven't been able to pair/connect to the device from ubuntu server.

HOWTO: Bluetooth 13 weeks 1 day ago

This thread seems to have outdated info on getting bluetooth to work? I'm using the latest Waldorf on my hp mini. I first tried using the Debian Bluetooth User guide http://wiki.debian.org/BluetoothUser but that didn't get me anywhere. Couldn't get the bluetooth icon to show up in the tray and hcitool dev command returns no devices.

Hey there, I can't seem to get Bluetooth working on my HP Pavilion dv3500 laptop.

It would seem the wireless card and bluetooth are one and the same (if thats possible.) This is because the button which I swipe to switch on wireless also switches on bluetooth and switches it off if I swipe it again (its one of those touch sensitive light buttons).

I have a Samsung tab 2 P3100, this is my first android device! i bought it for the sole reason to connect to my car's OBD.(On-Board Diagnostics) via a Bluetooth obd adapter [ELM327 E-327 v1.5 Interface Bluetooth OBD2] using Torque app pro on Google play.
