Hello,
I've been trying to connect my phone and bluetooth speaker to my slackware 14.2 but I'm finding several problems.
My first try was to start the bluetooth manager via GUI, however when I click on it, nothing happens. This occurs for bluetooth manager (blueman-manager) and bluetooth adapters (blueman-adapters).
When I try to open from CLI, blueman-manager says there is an instance already running, blueman-adapters and blueman-applet give dbus errors.
I have reinstalled bluez and blueman as some people suggested in other forums but I didn't have any success.
Then, I checked with hcitool. It was able to find my bluetooth adapter and to scan my devices. However, when I tried rfcomm:
Code:
rfcomm connect hci0 <MAC:ADDRESS>
Can't connect RFCOMM socket: Connection refused
And finally, I tried with bluetoothctl, I was able to scan my phone, trust, pair but not connect:
Code:
[bluetooth]# connect <MAC:ADDRESS>
Attempting to connect to <MAC:ADDRESS>
Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed
I have checked many forums but I'm not able to find any solution...
Any ideas on how to connect to my devices and to also make blueman work?
Thank you!
