Are my teeth blue?
Here is a not-so-wise question. OK --- Lets say I come to a PC, which runs Linux and I would like to know if the PC has bluetooth capabilities --- what command should I commit in the terminal?
I tried something like: Code:
lspci | grep bluetooth |
That might work - I have never had the chance to poke around on a Linux system with a Bluetooth chip in it, but just as a note, grepping for "bluetooth" would limit you to that exact string, keeping in mind that UNIX and Linux are terribly case-sensitive.
Instead, try this: Code:
$ lspci | grep -i bluetooth |

I run Kubuntu 8.10, hence KDE4.2. Regarding checking the status of bluetooth I get:
Code:
delbert@delbert:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth status Code:
delbert@delbert:~$ ps -ef | grep blue Under SYSTEM SETTINGS >> ADVANCE >> HARDWARE, I see BlueZ solely listed as Bluetooth Management Backend. Despite all these I do not see the icon in the systray. My phone (SAMSUNG E250) cannot even feel the systems bluetooth. I have installed loads of blue-related software from Synaptic. Here is my lspci. Code:
delbert@delbert:~$ lspci |

After that, you can pair the phone, and 'feel' it all you'd like... |
I could not get KDE Bluetooth Monitor, but instead I got Bluetooth File Transfering, and Kde4bluetooth. The former gave me a icon in the systray, but it only says its purpose when you hover over the icon --- clicking the icon does not help. Kde4bluetooth, I understand has its own issues at the moment, it is non-responsive on my system
So I installed "bluemon" and it runs OK. Code:
delbert@delbert:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/bluemon start http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...wizard-682960/ because of the following error I get: Code:
delbert@delbert:~$ bluetooth-wizard |
I suggest that you look at the KDE/Gnome desktop to see if you have the bluetooth icon in the systray.
