Linux and Bluetooth
I hope I've posted to the proper forum; if not please relocate my question. Thanks.
I am trying to transfer some pictures from a mobile phone over to my laptop. The phone company suggests sharing the pictures via Bluetooth which I do find on my mobile - so that's half of the solution. My question is about the remaining half: Can I get my XenialPup 7.5 to use Bluetooth and if so, how do I go about that task? |
Hmmm, considering your signature: if you have anywhere still Plasma / KDE running, just load "KDE Connect". For me it works just fine (though it uses WIFI).

I can easily move any kind of file between my phone and any [other] pc by: creating a draft mail in gmail (on my phone) attaching my pictures/files and I can read that mail anywhere.
Using bluetooth is probably not the easy way. |

Thanks for the post. While it sounds a bit cryptic to me, could you please describe your solution a bit more detail? For pan64 Thanks to you too. Unfortunately, my phone is not an iphone, it's a very simple mobile that I can use for telephoning and sending SMS messages. |

On my laptop, I am using xfce with the blueman-applet. Sometimes, it seems a bit flaky.
And as it didn't work from the beginning due to a missing patch for the kernel driver, I tried everything bottom-up, starting with: sudo rfkill list sudo bluetoothctl |
