gnome bluetooth
I just got a new phone that has bluetooth, so I decided to buy a bluetooth adapter for my computer. I plugged it in, did a couple apt-get installs and viola my computer had bluetooth.
I spent about two hours trying to figure out why I could pair with the computer but not send any files between it, and eventually decided to install the kde bluetooth environment. Suddenly I had all the programs I needed to do file transfers and talk to my phone, etc. Are there gnome equivalents for this stuff, or is gnome really that far behind? |
I guess it's possible that the Gnome stuff is really just that far behind. I can send stuff via bluetooth to my phone but it's a PITA to make it receive.
I might be missing something, too, but it's not a big deal to me, I don't use the bluetooth much. |
well, for anyone who wants to get bluetooth to work:
apt-get install bluez-utils and kdebluetooth. you might have to restart, and then the kde apps are really straightforward and simple. |
