Ubuntu 11.10 server; can't stream audio to bluetooth

linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – 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. From other device (cellphone) it does work. I already tried fiddling on /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf and on /var/lib/bluetooth//trusted and pincodes without any success. I could already find orientation that applies to regular ubuntu (Desktop) but not something adequate for ubuntu server. Ideally my setup would connect automat (HowTos)

Stories similar to Ubuntu 11.10 server; can't stream audio to bluetooth

Hi,

I've succeeded streaming audio from my Android device to my Ubuntu 12.04 host PC with the help of Pulseaudio. I needed to do this using command line commands only (i.e. no UI helpers), since the next step is to make this on an embedded system.

I have been trying to use my usb bluetooth adapter(silicon wave) on ubuntu 11.10 server, it appears in the lsusb list but it doesn't work

Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0c10:0000 root@i5-PC:/home/john# hcitool scan Device is not available: No such device

Now when I'm using ubuntu 11.04 server, It works perfectly and found all devices.

How could I solve it by the command line?

Hello everyone:

My laptop doesn't have bluetooth, so I want to use a bluetooth adapter to connect with my sixaxis gamepad. How do I setup the bluetooth device? And how can I make a connection, for example to my cellphone?

Regards

I'm a very basic Ubuntu 11.10 user and I'm trying to stream music on a Logitech wireless speaker adapter for bluetooth audio devices.

I can get to pair the device with my computer, but I can't play music. I also can't find the device on the Sound Settings.

I tried with Blueman, but with the same results. I've seen that this problem was solved before, but I can't make it work in mine.

i am using logitech audio adapter via bluetooth. device is already added, but no connection available. there is no problem on win or ubuntu, but xubuntu see no optut. what to do? was trying alsa or pulse audio to change it. pls help

I use ubuntu 12.10 64 bit. Every time I turn my computer on, I have to manually connect to my bluetooth speakers and change audio output to bluetooth device.

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.

I just purchased a Logitech Bluetooth Wireless Speaker to use in my kitchen. When I attempt to pair with it in ubuntu 12.10 it seems to insist on a passkey- this device doesn't have a passkey. I can't seem to get my audio to synch with it- for that matter I can't seem to even pair with a device that doesn't ask for a passkey.
