[SOLVED] Bluetooth Device Not Found

n4rf · 12-13-2014, 08:54 AM

Hi, Im running Slackware 14.1 x64 multilib on an ASUS N53SV Laptop. Im having troubles trying to run Bluetooth.

Even tho I have a bluetooth device incorporated, i never used it (on slackware, i did on MS-W7, Fedora, and Debian), i recently felt the need to use it, and BAM! "Device Not Found"

Here is a screenshot

I tried: dmesg |grep -i bluetooth

Code:

$root@ASUS:/home/n4rf# dmesg |grep -i bluetooth
[    8.410135] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.16
[    8.410150] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized
[    8.410156] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized
[    8.410158] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized
[    8.410164] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized

Definetly there is a bluetooth device...

Then rfkill

Code:

$root@ASUS:/home/n4rf# rfkill list
0: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
1: asus-bluetooth: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
3: hci0: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no

I installed bluez, bluez-firmware, bluez-hcidump, blueman, etc etc..

I havent found service to initialize:

/etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth

neither anything on

/etc/init.d/bluetooth

or something similar, like bluez, blueman, etc etc...

Im sorry to use this space, but Ive tried searching and I havent found any answer yet..

ANy advice, help, would be apreciated!

Thank you!

Is rc.bluetooth executable?

n4rf · 12-13-2014, 09:26 AM

I dont even have a "rc.bluetooth" file, neither on /etc/rc.d/ nor /etc/init.d/ u.u

Hmmm....
Don't know what to say.
If you have the bluez packages installed you should have rc.bluetooth in /etc/rc.d/
but it won't be executable.
As root you need to run, chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth
and reboot or you can try
/etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth restart
Once done, bring up, as user, the Bluetooth Manager and see if you can find your device.

OK! FIrst of all!My bad, I was going with tab and didnt find rc.bluetooth... but with "ls rc.blu(tab)" on /etc/rc.d/ and found it!

Followed your steps, and now I have my bluetooth working!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH CWIZARDONE!!!!
