Have bluetooth dongle inserted into the back of my HP Ubuntu v8.10 laptop. The bluetooth icon is in the toolbar at the top of the screen. I am trying to pair with a serial (RS232) bluetooth adapter. When I right-click on the bluetooth icon to set preferences the device, I get the Bluetooth Applet v1.8 (bluez) preferences window.

In F17 with Gnome3 my laptop boots with Bluetooth enabled.

I would like some assistance, or even just advice on where to go, to resolve the following issue.

I installed Fedora 17 on a Thinkpad T43. The bluetooth adapter was recognised, and BlueMan, BlueDevil or the gnome bluetooth manager all seem to be able to turn it on and off, as well as detect other bluetooth devices and pair with them.

sdptool is able to list available bluetooth services.

HOWTO: Bluetooth 17 weeks 2 days 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This thread seems to have outdated info on getting bluetooth to work?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.

Using bluetooth headset? 40 weeks 3 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 had a solid bluetooth connection to my mouse with my built-in bluetooth on the Dell Inspiron 1525. I had installed a game and when I exited out, the bluetooth stopped working. Instead of just rebooting the system, I removed bluez and reinstalled it, but it still did not work. Now I'm stuck without a bluetooth connection or icon at the top.
