Bluetooth problem Slackware 14.1

johnpuppa · 07-14-2015, 04:55 PM

Hello guys,

I'm writing because I'm facing a problem that I haven't solved yet. Basically I have a Bluetooth dongle that I managed to get it to work for receiving files from phone but still not for sending.
I have slackware 14.1 xfce and blueman.
Funny thing is that on another laptop using salix it works perfectly, therefore It must only be a missing dependency, which I have not found yet.

Here is the kernel part relative to the bluetooth:

In both system I have not much modified /etc/bluetooth files..
I tried to start bluetooth -nd and ran the blueman-applet from shell so that to see what it is going on during the attempt of sending a file.
All I could get was a connection problem:

do you guys have any idea or suggestion?
Same version of packets are installed on the other laptop which run salix.
It must be a little flaw.. Hope u guys will help.
packets are:
bluez
blueman
obex-data-server

Thanks!

I am having the same problem here. Cannot send but can receive.
Well, you should ensure you started bluetooth daemon (/etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth). And try calling blueman-sendto with sudo. It worked on my previous machine with slack.

Yes bluetoothd always running.. then when I try to send a file the phone light up like if something is happening.. Then nothing happens and after few seconds the faliure windows pop up... Clicking retry some times the attempt improves (phone vibrate and ask for confermation) but never actually managed to get the file fully downloaded... On salix everything works smoothly. I don't understand.. been trying for the last few days with no luck.. What a hell.

johnpuppa · 07-18-2015, 03:08 PM

I still haven't managed to figure out where the problem is.. I tried with different kernels, reinstalled all the blueman dependencies, turned the firewall off... no luck at all.. (On another laptop it works) do you guys have any idea? Where the problem could be? Please share some ideas...
Thanks
